I am loving this game. It's like X-Wing Tie-Fighter for the iPhone and the graphics and gameplay are very very good. Thanks Fishlabs for putting out a game that I can't put down.

@cam

You have to recalibrate your controls, i do it each time i change body position

I have found wit the upgrade that he controls are screwy. If you set the accelerometer at an angle then the controls just keep the ship in a continuous loop. If you lay it flat it works but otherwise it is unplayable with the 1.1 upgrade.

I agree with Vested & ex2bot.

I haven't find and missions impossible (so far at least).

I've paid 15 bucks for games on Xbox Luve that, while great games, only offer 3 to 5 hours of gameplay (Braid is a good example). This game offers a great value and frankly it's a lot of fun!

~20 hours of play for $6 pricey? I've paid $10 ("800 Microsloth Points") for ~5-10 hours of game play on XBox 360 DLC.

How is the replayability? Can you beat it at 50% and then at 70% if you want to?

$5.99 when I got games like iDracula and Uniwar for .99c? This thing would literally have to be a Starfox 64 port to pay 5.99

Pretty awesome game. The update really helped with the weird graphics bugs and the extra loading (got really frustrating)

@Vester, I too never found the campaign that hard either and I had already beat it by the time this patch came out but the other fixes are great to have.

@Sticktron, Fishlabs is the original developer of Galaxy on Fire, its just been out for a few years or so on other mobole phones. They have a sequel in the works, hopefully it can be made more iPhone compatible than this port.

All in all I'm pretty happy with the game. Although the free roaming part after you complete the missions isn't that deep. Just go to each system one by one and do all the missions at each planet until you've done them all. I keep wanting the trading economy and system navigation of EV Nova or Freelancer and the awesome combat mechanics of Freespace2, but hey, its not a bad game and I do keep playing it.
