Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #5 Bronxsta, Nov 6, 2013 I beta tested this. I'm really enjoying it. The swipe controls work extremely well and I never felt like a death was the game's fault, rather my lack of skills. The music and minimalist style is very nice. The game can be quite challenging and you'll have to study the track and orient yourself in moments. And about the 60 seconds rounds, the game is level based, not endless.

Hope this has less of that luck and more just on skill. epedemix Well-Known Member Aug 25, 2009 505 0 0 #9 epedemix, Nov 6, 2013 This has a really nice look to it. I enjoyed other recent games of similar models. I will most likely pick this one up tomorrow.

I just hold the phone like a controller and swipe with my thumb. Last I played, only swipe. But it's pretty responsive. Swipe left to move left, swipe right to move right, up to flip. takaya Well-Known Member May 27, 2009 69 0 0 #15 takaya, Nov 6, 2013 Thank you for your answer. Let's hope the devoloper will add Boson X like controls... nkarafo Well-Known Member Mar 2, 2011 864 14 18 #16 nkarafo, Nov 6, 2013 It reminds me of "Trailblazer" when I was playing in Amstrad cpc 6128 waaay back years ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbP7-SILzs0 Sanuku Well-Known Member Jun 14, 2009 11,954 4 38 Austria http://www.touchgameplay.com #17 Sanuku, Nov 6, 2013 Game Impressions Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #18 awp69, Nov 6, 2013 Really liking this one so far - maybe even better than Boson X since the "luck" of the blue platforms is out of the equation. Swipe controls work well. Took me off guard at first thinking that a swipe up was a jump when it's really like switching gravity. Only played a few levels. I do hope they consider adding an endless mode as that would really be my only complaint so far. Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #19 Connector, Nov 6, 2013 It's got levels, like Boson X or Duet Games. Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #20 Connector, Nov 6, 2013 I too would like to see a control method without swiping. Like in Boson X, where you tap on both sides to jump. Or maybe a moveable button for jumping. Hopefully either option can be incorporated as another control scheme if possible. Thanks.
