Great Defender style homage. Nice you can make the buttons larger. Only had a quick go, so far so good, left/right buttons and a thrust button, you're constantly shooting.

Definitely a Defender vibe going. Downloading it now. Qwertz555 Well-Known Member May 22, 2010 2,318 29 48 #8 Qwertz555, Apr 9, 2015 Yeah, what an expensive shooter/fighter week, lovely! I might get banned soon, since i keep complaining about "music's too loud compared to the sfx sounds", lately. Same here for my personel preferences, but thank god/Dev, i can mute them. (Sorry, music doesn't fit at all for me). Gameplay wise, i would recommend it. I'm having a ton of fun with it. I really hope you do well in the ocean called app store. PS: i just checked, though i can play my own music, the sfx sounds go mute. Oh how i'd love me some volume sliders in all games... preussie Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Dec 8, 2009 76 0 6 Flensburg, Germany http://miscstuff.de #9 preussie, Apr 9, 2015 Thanks for your comment I think at least two of the three tracks are quite good. But maybe I just got used to them listening 3 billion times while testing... Thank you - glad you like it I put it on my list for the update poppichicken Well-Known Member Mar 21, 2012 218 0 16 South Australia #10 poppichicken, Apr 10, 2015 Well this game is a pleasant surprise! I was initially taken in by the Defender-feel, but this changed the further I got into the game. A good game became awesome once I realised what is really going on here... Sure, you can rescue the fairies for a few points, but there doesn't appear to be a direct penalty for letting them get captured. The fairies aren't for rescuing. That's right. They're actually for exploiting. The clue is in the name - Fairy Fire. With a power-up you can get early in the game, your held fairies become vital weapons, in much the same way as the "options" do in Gradius! To finish a level you need to destroy every enemy and deliver any *remaining* fairies to the exit. Keep the fairies around and use their firepower for your benefit. Then you'll realise how brilliant and clever this game is. poppichicken Well-Known Member Mar 21, 2012 218 0 16 South Australia #11 poppichicken, Apr 12, 2015 Looks like I was wrong - there is indeed a penalty for allowing fairies to be captured. They seem to come back as dangerous enemies. Also, letting the last fairy on a level get captured ends the game. It's really exciting stuff, and I'm surprised at the lack of attention for this outstanding game! NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #12 NOEN, Apr 12, 2015 I've only got to play a handful of rounds of this. So far, it's been pretty good. Took me a few to figure out what I was exactly trying to do. I kinda wish that the gems and upgrades you earn carried over if you die. I'll dig into it a little more tonight.

At least you start with some upgrades in 'floor 2' and 'floor 3'...
