hello arn,

thanks for reviewing our game. i think we made it quite difficult for you and everyone else with this one by aiming for casual gameplay with a niche title.

i want to use this opportunity to post some remarks on the comments to your fair and appropriate review.

concerning the sound: every sound effect is taken from the song behind the game. we did not bring in any additional sound effects in order to keep things plain and … coherent. i am actually quite happy that we surprise.

it might also be interesting to you that we are of course already working on updates. and making the game a bit longer is on top of the list. on the other hand, you can play the game through on a single subway ride. and again on the next day, scoring higher.

Good review and spot on. It is rather short and a disappointment to me. I love SHUMPS. This one misses for me. $5 is too high for such a short shooter. No replay value. Sound is not what I expected. Special sound effects poor. Controls awkward. Left thumb must cover space ship (can't see anthing), next your right index finger does the swiping to select the enemies, and finally you must tap the space ship with your thumb to fire. AWKARD>AWKARD. I jumped too early and bought this one.
