* Play it on NVIDIA SHIELD!
** If you have problems or find bugs, please send me a mail instead of bad review! **
The free version has the same features as the full version, but with ads.
Cloud Save also works between the free and full versions, so you will not lose any progress.
There are 99 levels to play, all levels available in the original game.
Collect powerups to buy extra help in form of permanent particle laser, A.I.droid, jumping or extra lives. They can be disabled, if you change your mind. More can be bought with in-app purchases.
Settings include control type and size, music path and music and sound effects volume. Before complaining about the controls, please test them for a while to see which one suits you the best. Also try different control sizes. Also supports game pads, tested with PS3 controller using Sixaxis controller app, Nyko Bluetooth controller and with NVIDIA SHIELD.
The first time the game is started, it will select control type and size based on your device properties. If a gamepad is connected, controls will be hidden and fullscreen is enabled where available. Key mappings are done in the control settings. Gamepad control supports analog joystick for movement.
Touch control types:
Multi touch swipe:
Lower part of display is used to swipe left and right to move the blaster. Right side buttons used for shooting, jumping and superzap. This is the default control for Android 2.2+ devices with true multi touch.
Dual touch swipe:
Similar to multi touch swipe, but for devices without true multi touch. Lower part of display is used to swipe left and right to move the blaster and simultaneously shoot, and swipe up to jump. Right side buttons used for superzap. This is the default control for Android 2.2+ that does not have true multi touch.
Single touch arrows:
Use on devices without multi touch. Controlled with one finger, typically the thumb. Side-arrows area moves while shooting. Up arrow area moves and shoots and jumps when available. Top area superzaps. Center area does not move, the further out on the arrows, the faster movement.
Multi touch arrows:
Use on devices with multi touch. Left side similar to single touch arrows for moving. Right side buttons used for shooting, jumping and superzap. This control type works well with the touch emulated Sixaxis controller.
Multi touch circular:
Use finger to rotate around the circular control on the left side. Right side buttons used for shooting, jumping and superzap.
On Android 4.0+ and devices with soft keys, there is an option to go to real fullscreen mode. Note that this does not work when using touch controls, only when using keyboard or gamepad.
For some older devices, performance may be increased by setting the sound effect volume to zero. The graphics details can also be set to low for better performance on low end devices.
For copyright reasons, the original Tempest 2000 music is not included in the game, but can be automatically downloaded from the settings. It is also possible to select any other music.

Tempest from Jaguar...on my Shield. This is the kind of games only a true gamer can develop! Thanks for the good job. Buying now after using the free version some days :)

Runs great on my Sony z2 with lollipop! I loved the old jaguar game and it's great to play it anywhere on my phone. Controls are responsive considering its touch operated too. Thank you for releasing this game, especially when atari themselves don't care about fans enough to have released a decent version since the ps1.

Talk about bringing back memories. The game itself is beautiful and delivers exactly what it promises. The downside is that the controls are terrible. Joystick is WAY over sensitive, making the ship impossible to control. In fact the only reliable way I've found to control it is with a keyboard and arrow keys. :-/

This game was really fun to see, as I remember it well from the Jaguar times. However, on my Nexus 6, the on screen controls are to small, even on the Huge setting. I need a Super Huge config, and it would also benefit if I was able to choose where the touch areas are located. Too many times my fire finger got outside of the screen and the claw stopped firing as a result.

Great to have my old favourite on my phone. I'd say it's as good a version as I could wish for, given the touchscreen necessity. Think of that as an added challenge :-)

Highly recommended for T2K fans. However, I agree with other users about how hard it is to grab powerups - the original game was much more forgiving in this regard. I hope bonus rounds are coming, though, and denser pixel effects would be nice. Dev responds to emails and is very helpful.

Looks awesome but I can't play very well on the touch controls. I wanted to make them bigger but they are 'huge' by default and there is no bigger option. Guess I'll have to use a controller to play this.

I've always loved Tempest and this does not disappoint. Loved it on the Atari Jaguar and it's a great port. Best game on my android!!!

... yet not quite there. A brilliant, if incomplete, conversion of one of my favourite games of all time. Frustratingly, the controls just don't feel quite right (Shield Tablet with controller) and the power-ups seem more difficult to collect than in the original game; I'm used to being able to sweep left and right, grabbing power-ups as I pass, but in this game I miss them more often than not. Needs the bonus levels in order to truly emulate the original. Keep up the good work!

Good attempt at recreating the Atari Jaguar version but needs some improvements. Even with control sensitivity set to 10 it feels slow to respond and is not precise enough. The game mode could also benefit from a static option where the playing field doesn't move about like the Atari Jaguar version has.

It looks and plays just like the classic Atari Jaguar game "Tempest 2000" and that's not a bad thing. Now if they could just convert "Alien Vs Predator."

Ok. I really was blown away by this game when I first saw it about a year ago. As blown away as I was with the Jaguar and Tempest 2000. I STILL AM! This is the first piece of the Android software that I ever purchased and I absolutely love it! Cyclone 2000 seriously just keeps getting better and better! I love the option to download the original music for Tempest 2000. I have been playing this game on my $30 iView tablet (A13/Mali 400) and it runs buttery smooth. Trust me. BUY THIS GAME!

Controls are unintuitive and make the game a chore to play. The best Tempest clone I've played was for 68k Macs called Arashi which was better than the officially licensed Tempest 2000. Thank you for the reply. I remember trying all the settings, yes. Is there an option to tap and drag? That, along with a button or two for firing or an auto-fire setting would help. I understand gamepads are an option but I don't do heavy gaming on my phone.

Been waiting for someone to do a great port of Tempest! Now if we can get all the games from the CPS2 and CPS3 that would be off the rails!! For some reason the music download will not start downloading... I will try again during the day. I hope I can still get it....?

A great tribute to the legendary Atari Jaguar title Tempest 2000! I still own that game and play it even now! It isn't quite as polished and the original and the joypad on my Shield is not as responsive as the Jaguars. Other than that highly enjoyable!

Getting better all the time, great remake of one the greatest games of all time. Pretty good touch controls, amazing with a gamepad.

What have you done with this game for starting up? It won't start without internet and gaming ID... this game should work without internet and i don't want to have another signing in on top of my Google sign in. Is ridiculous. I can't play this game unless on wi-fi so i need a refund even though this my favourite game of all time.
