Enjoy your bullet-hell life. #################################### # DEVICE REQUIREMENTS # # iPhone 5 or later # iPad Air or later #################################### .Decluster (dot decluster) is a vertically scrolling 2D shooter game (shmup). The controls you need are just two. To move your ship and to fire the homing laser. Because it is designed for mobile devices, you can control easily on the iPhone / iPad. Slide your finger anywhere on the screen to move your ship. The relative touch movement is adopted. And tap second finger to fire the homing laser. Basic shots are automatic. The homing laser is powerful activity and is also a key to surviving. The homing laser requires the gauge of it at least 1 Lv. The moment the homing laser was fired, bullets around your ship are canceled and get cancel bonuses. This is so important. Don't forget it. The player's unhitting box is very small. It is displayed as a white rectangle in the center of the ship. And when a lot of bullets appear, the game-speed gets slowdown. Therefor you can keep surviving more than meets the eye. Four different difficulties. From beginner to expert. The novice difficulty has some benefits from the start. Extra options and extra lives. If you are beginner fun of shooter, the novice difficulty is a good choice. In the settings, you can adjust the size of game view and you can also adjust the touch sensitivity for slide control. If it is hard to see the screen because of your finger, or you have incongruous with the slide control, then try to adjust them. From version 2.0.1, the boss battle mode was added. HOW TO PLAY ======================================== ## Basics - Slide one finger to move the Player. - The Player automatically fires. ## Homing Laser - Tap second finger to fire the Homing Laser. - The Homing Laser will target at the nearest Enemy. ## Homing Laser Gauge - The Homing Laser can be fired when the gauge is enough. - The gauge is filled by shooting enemies or collecting items. ## Homing Laser Tips - The moment the Homing Laser was fired, bullets around the Player are canceled. - And cancel bonuses are obtained. ## Homing Laser Tips+ - The more gauge is the larger cancel range. - The more bullets are canceled, the more bonuses are obtained. ## Items - Collect items to obtain score and fill the Homing Laser Gauge. - Option items are alternately switched to each other every 5 sec. ## Tips - The higher bonuses are obtained by faster destroy enemies. - Additional bonuses by the Homing Laser. - Extra life every 3,000,000 pt. #################################### # DEVICE REQUIREMENTS # # iPhone 5 or later # iPad Air or later #################################### Information Seller:MASAYUKI ITO Genre:Action, Arcade Release:Mar 03, 2015 Updated:Feb 01, 2019 Version:2.3.1 Size:54.3 MB TouchArcade Rating: User Rating: (19) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal strivemind Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2010 2,784 2 38 Designer Ottawa, Canada http://www.strivemind.com/ #2 strivemind, Mar 2, 2015 Found a really short dev preview video: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #3 squarezero, Mar 3, 2015 Seems like bullet hell fans didn't notice this one. Plays like a bastard child of a Cave shooter and Space Invaders: Infinity Gene. The controls and mechanics are simple, but the action is great and the music is awesome. On normal it's challenging but not insane. An easy recommendation, as far as I'm concerned. PeteOzzy Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2013 4,596 3 0 Norwich, England #4 PeteOzzy, Mar 3, 2015 Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I was on the very cusp of buying this but now I have no choice. cheers! syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #5 syntheticvoid, Mar 3, 2015 Yeah, EP brought it up a day ago or so - I'm just tapped ATM. Next reup though, this one is MINE! Looks great. Are the controls 1:1 relative touch? Does the ship have a set speed (follow behind your finger) that feels off, or...? Not that these things are dealbreakers... Just curious . =oP squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #6 squarezero, Mar 3, 2015 It feels a tiny bit slower. As you said, not a deal breaker. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #7 Exact-Psience, Mar 3, 2015 There's a sensitivity slider in the settings on the 5th screenshot. Shouldnt we be able to get the right balance to get 1:1 with the slider? squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #8 squarezero, Mar 3, 2015 It helps, but the controls are still not quite as tight as those of a Cave game. Definitely not bad, though. Qwertz555 Well-Known Member May 22, 2010 2,318 29 48 #9 Qwertz555, Mar 3, 2015 I fully noticed this one, and that price ain't my problem either, but since i'm still occupied with two other shmups (Stardrift/Infinite Cosmos), i only wish-listed this game. Ironically it has no Gamecenter but Hi Score in its icon Is there an in-game leaderboard, at least ? LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,280 1 38 #10 LordShad0wz, Mar 3, 2015 Wow! Insta buy! Where's the Maglor cat? Lol. If you love shootem ups you will love this one. It's done in abstract and has the noiz2sa feel. It's good. Definitely worth the price. Billy poppichicken Well-Known Member Mar 21, 2012 218 0 16 South Australia #11 poppichicken, Mar 3, 2015 Yep, what LordShad0wz said. This game is utterly brilliant. I'm finding that the controls are absolutely fine. The enemy attacks waves and the bullet patterns are wonderful, and it plays like a dream. This is a no-brainer for bullet-hell fans. LOVE IT. poppichicken Well-Known Member Mar 21, 2012 218 0 16 South Australia #12 poppichicken, Mar 3, 2015 Just faced the level 3 boss. Absolutely epic. This game needs the TA front-page treatment.

Wow - an amazing battle. This game is just brilliant. For me, it ranks right up there with the best shmups iOS has to offer.

I'm playing this, whn I'm not on Floprocket or Alto. Lol poppichicken Well-Known Member Mar 21, 2012 218 0 16 South Australia #17 poppichicken, Mar 4, 2015 Last edited: Mar 4, 2015 Yeah, it's a very sad state of affairs when a sparkling gem like this is largely ignored. I know it's a niche genre, but still... If this had the name Cave attached to it, it'd likely be hailed as one of the greatest iOS bullet-hells ever. Up to the level 4 boss now. Level 4 is very tough, even on "Easy". The way you *have* to strategically use your homing missiles to cancel enemy fire is brilliantly thought out. Makes it all the more satisfying when you get through. LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,280 1 38 #18 LordShad0wz, Mar 5, 2015 I've broken 2 iPhones trying to beat level 3 boss.
