I wonder if there are bosses. Totally worth a try for free. snapchilled Member Apr 27, 2012 18 0 0 #4 snapchilled, Mar 30, 2014 Thanks kioshi Not bosses as yet, but they will be coming in a the next update! Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #5 Bronxsta, Mar 30, 2014 Nice pixel art, responsive controls, cool power ups, varied enemies, challenging twitch bullet hell gameplay. And it's free. If you enjoy shmups, definitely check out Hectic Space Also I checked out the dev's game Tower of Words, which is also worth downloading. It's simple but cool, a mix of word search and Jenga, so you need to plan out your words extra carefully.

The controls are Drag-Up or Drag-Down, with auto-fire. I'm right handed, so I'm dragging up and down on the right side of the screen, ie: not by the ship, which is a bit different. Games are pretty quick, at least mine are! Free, with ads between games. Looking at this game (and the one mentioned above), I like this devs spin on things. jbsib Well-Known Member Oct 4, 2011 213 0 0 #7 jbsib, Mar 30, 2014 Yay top of the leaderboard! Btw this game is awesome and I hope it does well! Really ramps up and gets fun as you get further. As said control are great, good graphics and effects, fun powerups - just a wonderful gem! snapchilled Member Apr 27, 2012 18 0 0 #8 snapchilled, Mar 30, 2014 Thanks so much for the great feedback, glad you are enjoying it!

Awesome retro graphics, fun and easy to pick up gameplay. Cool retro sound effects. The leaderboard scoring is what really kept me wanting to play just one more game to inch my way closer to the top. The music is retro as well, and can get a bit repetitive. That and the full screen ads after dying are my only two gripes. I accidentally hit the ad instead of the teeny, tiny "x" to close it. Oh, and the ship's movement is slightly less than 1:1. All in all this was a great surprise for me tonight! 4.5/5 Recommended! snapchilled Member Apr 27, 2012 18 0 0 #13 snapchilled, Apr 1, 2014 Last edited: Apr 1, 2014 Thanks so much! Gonna work on getting this into the next update as well. Glad you are enjoying the game The ships movement should be 1:1 (i'll look into it) what device where you playing it on?

Most recent iOS update. Thanks! Pickman Well-Known Member Mar 30, 2013 94 2 8 #15 Pickman, Apr 1, 2014 Wow. This is actually a very good game. Where can I spend some cash? AL3X83 Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2012 106 0 16 #16 AL3X83, Apr 2, 2014 I really like this but sometime your thumb gets out of position and you want to readjust it but if you lift your thumb off the screen the ship stops shooting. So when your not touching the screen your ship stops firing but in that split second enemies still come at full speed and depending which enemy is coming at you and how many shots it takes to kill them just might get you cornered and killed for lifting your thumb off the screen to get more comfortable. Aside from that it is a very fun game. So i'm wondering is there a way to add auto fire or add a setting to toggle it on or off. Flynn Taggart Well-Known Member Dec 9, 2010 80 0 0 #17 Flynn Taggart, Apr 2, 2014 This game is cool as hell. It just opened an ad in the middle of a game and made me die though. snapchilled Member Apr 27, 2012 18 0 0 #18 snapchilled, Apr 2, 2014 Thanks for the feedback, i could see always firing working, ill give it a test run. Thanks! and sorry about the ad screwup, ill fix that bug up for next version. paulkane Well-Known Member Sep 6, 2012 1,102 0 36 Library automaton Denver #19 paulkane, Apr 2, 2014 Also, a pause button would be nice! snapchilled Member Apr 27, 2012 18 0 0 #20 snapchilled, Apr 3, 2014 Fair enough really I'll add that to my list.
