The comments on the worldwide version follows from here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=3247651 *Known bugs and issues: No sound in the game. This is a bug related to Unity 3D engine and some plugins we use. We have no direct control over it but are looking at other ways of fixing it. To get the sound to work - restart the game (more than once, if necessary). Where are the IAPs? The IAPs are available in the Hangar (the upgrade menu) once you spend at least 1000 stars on upgrades. It shows as a small cart button under the amount of stars you have. The delay is for you to evaluate how much you need the IAPs before you start throwing your money at us Best regards, Peter, Infinite Dreams. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #2 metalcasket, Apr 25, 2014 Any estimate for the worldwide release?

Not even the CAVE ones, Danmaku Unlimited 2, Phoenix HD, Sine Mora or Plasma Sky? I'd say touchscreens are the ideal way to play them. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #6 metalcasket, Apr 25, 2014 Silly psj, the thread's not even 10 minutes old. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,964 717 113 England #7 psj3809, Apr 25, 2014 Didnt realise its a soft launch so it wont be out worldwide later. Just a soft launch for now (I've amended the title) Snotty128 Well-Known Member Jul 26, 2013 654 0 0 #8 Snotty128, Apr 25, 2014 Bullet hell isn't really my genre, although I played a lot of rtype as a kid, and I loved sine mora on xbox for its gameplay, boss battles and especially it's plot. What I've seen of this game is gorgeous. Theres leveling up of your craft, so I guess there's progression there as well as progression through different missions. I'm looking forward to playing more over the weekend syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #9 syntheticvoid, Apr 25, 2014 Like the previous titles, the lack of RT kinda turns me off... You'd think it'd be a standard by now, I'm always surprised when developers don't do or care enough about market research... It's brought up in EVERY shmup thread... PeterID Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2011 201 0 16 http://idreams.pl/ #10 PeterID, Apr 25, 2014 @Snotty128: The game isn't really a bullet hell. At least not until the Insane Difficulty. @syntheticvoid: Please check the options. In the "upcoming" thread I promissed Exact-Psience to include relative touch control and it's there. Just not as the default control method. I would like to encourage anyone playing Sky Force 2014 to befriend other players on GameCenter. We've included some social features in the game and we'd love to get some opinions about them. You can also earn some extra stars Best regards, Peter, Infinite Dreams. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #11 syntheticvoid, Apr 25, 2014 I would love to!

I am so looking forward to this, one day they will soft release a game in my area, NZ and Canada seem to get all the soft releases.... please please please don't make it a freemuim game with iap's......

It is a bit confusing and we're already planning on adding that option to the pause menu.

THE most important control option in a shooter and even more in a shmup. Since i've just beaten level two so far, i wouldn't say it's a shmup as Cave (fast bullet patterns/shooting etc.) but hey, just played two levels. I put three! GOTY candidates on hold just to beta test this jewel (thanks again Peter). It's my prefered genre, overall. Already ninty minutes in and as a fast statement: I love it !
