SuperWeird Well-Known Member Dec 9, 2010 509 0 0 #5 SuperWeird, Feb 16, 2012 I like this game a lot so far. It's an endless space shooter with 4 worlds to unlock as you play. Sweet graphics and sounds, excellent controls, lots of power ups, universal, non-stop endless bullet hell with boss battles; shmup fans should give this a try. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,972 722 113 England #6 psj3809, Feb 16, 2012 Gave this a punt and bought it, had a few crash issues on my 64 gig ipod (Apparently if you have way too many apps on the 64 gig model it can cause a lot of memory issues - Apple didnt tell me this when i bought it as i wanted the big memory for more games !) Anyway got it working now and it doesnt seem to be crashing, actually really like the graphics, the shooting noise gets a 'bit' annoying but nothing major, done the first 8 worlds and have to replay those to unlock the later levels. 'Bit' pricey in iOS terms at £1.49 but i'm liking it, some good weapons to use, nice bullet hell type shooter.

This is not bullet hell at all. Bullet hell is a small subgenre of shmups, dramatically overrepresented on iOS (not that I'm complaining), with characteristic screen-filling curtains of slower moving bullets. This is a pure traditional endless side scroller which I was personally very disappointed by. The ships are too big, so it's essentially like they cut the screen size of most shooters down to a quarter, making everything seem cramped and decreasing the fun significantly. I played one game, and was bored to death before it was over. I was just waiting to die after wave 20 or so but it took until 37. It took so long. They need difficulty settings (or did I miss them) and they need the intensity to increase faster.
