‘Space Marshals’ Gets Much-Requested MFi Controller Support

TouchArcade Rating:

One of the unfortunately-missing features from Space Marshals ($3.99) was MFi gamepad support. This was quite unfortunate because Pixelbite has released games with controller support in the past, but alas, not this. Well, Pixelbite has just remedied the issue, adding MFi support to Space Marshals. The game works pretty well with touch controls as it is, but there’s nothing quite like aiming with actual joysticks. As well, being able to switch weapons while aiming comes in handy during combat, if you need to switch from a rifle to an SMG, for example.

This is fantastic news ahead of the upcoming update with the second chapter of the game, and makes the controller update have a bit more utility than other games, because even though it’s post-launch, there’s a lot of game left to play. So even if you beat the first episode with touch controls, you can enjoy the rest of the game with physical controls. I’m looking forward to doing so, myself.

      Great game well polished, no stupid Iaps but a lack of content (for the moment I believe)
      Level 22 (on top of my car great detail) and a lot of hours playing it !
      This endless game is a good example of what free games should be all !

      Enjoying this game very much. It's a refreshing spin on the endless runner while still having everything that makes endless runners fun. I've only played maybe 30-60 minutes a day but haven't ran into the need for any IAP, and I don't think the game pushes them if I recall.

        Not only doesn't it push IAPs, it doesn't even have any.

      I now understand what all the hub-bub about nascar is. Joking aside I can't put this game down. I wish there was something else out there that offered the quick pick-up-and-play and short-game scenario, but this game really nails it for me right now.

      The shadows are always cast from the same angle.

      You really have to try it. I love the game. I can't wait for the bugs to get fixed and see what they do with the game.

      I'm really tired of endless runners, but I love this game. Maybe because I'm a NASCAR fan. The little touches like drafting, fuel strategy etc, make this simple game pretty fun.

      Fantastic fun game!!! :)

      I keep thinking this is the 1990s Sega arcade game. It's definitely not, which makes me sad.

      Same thing happens when I see something about the modern TV show called Wipeout. I want it to be the 1990s Playstation game with rave music. It never is, and I am a bitter old man.

      Next up, make a zombie game called The Horse of the Dead and watch my eye start twitching.

      Remembered seeing the four star review here didn't get a chance to read until after playing, it was weird, I was waiting to be attacked with ugly iap's but it never happened, anyone who's against the standard fare f2p model should definitely get this.

      Very well designed! Kudos to the Invictus team! The engine and the tunning gear vary drastically with other cars (That's great because I can experiment different cars from my side), but later realized that its almost the same :(

      - Nice color variation! Looks beautiful
      - Gorgeous graphics
      - Background music bugged me a bit, I muted the music after 10 mins of game play.
      - Loads of animation can be added (When you thrash your opponent, you can change the view angle)
      - The more I played, it made me feel like its another "Lane Switching Games"!
      - UI could have been more interactive by using sliding or scroll features.

      Overall Daytona Rush is very entertaining and fun filled. Keep up the good work :)
