Reception

The iPhone version received "generally favorable reviews", while the PSP version received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

Christian Donlan of Eurogamer called the iPhone version "a simple game [...] but an extremely polished and engaging one." Kristan Reed later said of the Android version, "Every bit as polished as the original, MiniSquadron is another sure sign of Android hitting its stride, and easily one of the best titles available right now." Jon Mundy of Pocket Gamer said that the iOS version "Offers the pick-up-and-playability of the old skool shooter, combined with great graphics and surprising deep gameplay." Joao Diniz Sanches later said that the PSP version "successfully lands on the Minis runway carrying its trademark intense and engaging flight combat frolics but misses an opportunity to deliver a little more content-related freight."
