Haha, "visually reminiscent" of 1942. As in, "total ripoff of".

I can't wait for this, because I used to play the desktop version and it was pretty good. I hope it's not TOO expensive though.

I was not able to get a definitive answer on that – I believe it's just WiFi multiplayer. I'll give more info on the nature of the multiplayer shortly, as well.

I had this game!!!!!!! on my sagem (can't remember it's full name sorry) it was so fun!

However the game was very short, although it's fun to revisit and try to get a higher grade (you get graded at the end of a level)

The power's were great however there is not much variation, they were like 2x weapon speed for example.

Personally it was the only mobile game i ever played a lot of! so when it hits the app store i might have to click "buy"

I'm definitely looking forward to this, but to clarify, does this have internet multiplayer, or just local wifi multiplayer? I suspect the latter, but hope for the former.

While I can understand the wish for manual fire, the fact is that we have to remember the platform here. That said, I'd like to see manual fire as an option for those of us who'd rather control our own rate of fire.

BTW, I disagree with the "game of dodge disguised as a shooter" comment. Shmups, and shooters as a whole (including FPS, light gun games, rail shooters, gallery shooters, run 'n gun, etc.) are not defined by manual fire, but by shooting combat gameplay. As long as the game is primarily focused on shooting enemies that shoot back at you, then it's a shooter by definition.
