We decided to re-launch it with a lot of improvements following the feedback we had from users (Universal, customizable controls, Game Center etc). To answer your question, YES there is iCade support!! The DotEmu team. squabs Well-Known Member Nov 3, 2012 317 1 18 #10 squabs, Jul 17, 2013 Wow, just got killed by the level three boss, this is great! Haven't played r type since I had it on game boy in the 90's, interestingly this shows what a good port the gameboy version actually was. The best thing about this is you can turn off auto fire, which is a refreshing change on ios. Pipipitchu Well-Known Member May 4, 2013 1,644 0 0 Civil Servant Rio de Janeiro, Brazil #11 Pipipitchu, Jul 17, 2013 Great news, since within few days I'll have an iCade in my hands! psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,971 722 113 England #12 psj3809, Jul 17, 2013 Superb ! I do have the other R-Type app (and the game on a certain other 'app') but i want to support the devs 100%. I'll be buying this for sure later. To any 'youngsters' who dont know anything about R-Type, this was one of the classic horizontal shooters from the 80's, been converted to tons of systems from the Sinclair Spectrum/C64/Gameboy/NES and so on.
