This game is free with zero IAPs. The controls are flawless, the gameplay is challenging and engaging. Shmup fans! This game is a must have. I just want this game to get the recognition it deserves. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #2 psj3809, Jul 15, 2014 Looks decent, is it relative touch ? Dirty Harry Hannahan Well-Known Member Apr 14, 2011 1,659 0 0 Planet Earth #3 Dirty Harry Hannahan, Jul 15, 2014 Yes. There are absolutely no issues or problems with the controls. No complaints. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #4 psj3809, Jul 15, 2014 Arrrrgh Just about to buy but iOS 7.1 only ! Oh well. I could understand if most games were 7.1 only but i'm surprised when a small shooter like this is 7.1 ! Snooptalian Well-Known Member Sep 12, 2009 1,936 8 38 #5 Snooptalian, Jul 15, 2014 Looks good. What kind of Game Center integration is there? Dirty Harry Hannahan Well-Known Member Apr 14, 2011 1,659 0 0 Planet Earth #6 Dirty Harry Hannahan, Jul 15, 2014 The usual... leaderboards and achievements. I'm surprised that the developer isn't aggressively promoting his game. Duke12 Well-Known Member Oct 25, 2013 1,018 41 48 #7 Duke12, Jul 15, 2014 Says 0,89 for me?

NiceDude Well-Known Member Jul 23, 2014 246 0 0 #9 NiceDude, Jul 26, 2014 This game is so cool. Yup, relative touch and really crazy hectic visuals. You can teleport and you will need to because it is so crazy hectic. A lot of cool power-ups, just a really cool shmup Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #10 Exact-Psience, Jul 26, 2014 Is this the vertical-movement-only shmup? Coz i believe i played this a week or 2 ago.

Wow, I just tried this game (thanks to this thread). Wow! Super-fun. Very difficult. Dare I say more difficult than many Cave shmups!!! So many criss-crossing little purple bullets so early on (I think on Stage 3??).. Very nicely done. VERY fun! Thanks! Feels like a mashup of modern casual game, hardcore shmup and early 80s gfx. buzzToronto Member May 11, 2016 15 0 1 #16 buzzToronto, May 13, 2016 Beam Space I just downloaded Beam Space too. Very fun.. A lot easier feeing than Rapid Space (I prefer the challenge of Rapid Space). But for first-timers to the genre (like my kids) this vertical shooter will be especially fun and enjoyable!! Incredible job! The magnetic coins remind me of a favorite vertically scrolling arcade cabinet shmup that I used to play in the 80s. Cheers! I like the planets as levels idea, too!! Wonderful.
