Critical Acclaim: “One of the most brilliant things about Backfire is how it’s constantly forcing you to take risks and face danger, and it makes for some exhilarating moments.” — TouchArcade: Game of the Week “As much fun as the gameplay is, it’s the little details that kept me coming back for more. From the neon green and purple color palette, to the way enemies slowly pop out from the walls, to the way red pixelated blood covers the screen when you die." — AppUnwraper: ‘BACKFIRE’ Review “Green Squid Productions has really gone the extra mile here with expertly polished gun play and fantastic enemy design” — SuperGameDroid: Backfire Is A Crazy Reverse Shooter Coming Next Month “BackFire is slick, smart, and it doesn't give a toss about the rules that you think it should be following.” — PocketGamer: BackFire review - "Geometry Wars goes to hell in this ace shooter" Information Seller:Joel Rochon Genre:Action, Adventure, Arcade Release:Jan 16, 2019 Updated:Nov 05, 2019 Version:2.0.2 Size:369.5 MB TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating:Unrated Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal Joel Rochon likes this. vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #2 vectorarchitekt, Jan 18, 2019 It sure does look pretty!

It combines the compulsiveness and simplicity of a great arcade game with the progression of an RPG. And yes, it’s pretty, too. Highly, highly recommended.

The developer said that the new version is coming and the game will be 300mb after it. Joel Rochon, Anotherkellydown and Rocksaint like this.

Lots of weapons and passive items to buy and upgrade. I’ve gotten to the first boss 3 times but haven’t killed him yet. That quick offensive dash gets me every time. I’d love to see Game Center added to compare scores with others. Still, it’s a really nice game and well suited for mobile like squarezero mentioned.

Probably pick this up when the app is smaller.

Just mirroring what squarezero said...it’s not only an ENTIRELY original take on the Tilt to Live concept, but it’s actually perfectly realized, with just enough ‘carrot dangling’ to make sure you never put it down. I’m SO glad I came back to this thread to see the file size had dramatically shrunk, because that was the one thing holding me back from purchasing it. STUPIDLY good game!!! Joel Rochon likes this. Rocksaint Well-Known Member Nov 29, 2013 666 367 63 #12 Rocksaint, Jan 19, 2019 Bought it and loving it! Chapter 2 really ramps up the difficulty. (Don’t wanna spoil anything) The enemies are relentless. Certainly not a game for everyone. Especially people who don’t like to be challenged. I would even say this is more inclined towards the hardcore side. But a great game nonetheless. Very well designed and implemented. Joel Rochon likes this.

From what is said above I am interested in the game, would like to see it in action. As I understand the game is endless? Or is it level based/boss based? squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,716 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #14 squarezero, Jan 19, 2019 It has chapters and bosses.

I just entered the level 2 and I saw there are 2 black square blocking in the gameplay, is that a bug? by the way, do you have any plan for alternative control way? like using left side of the screen to aim, right side to move/shoot/switch weapons, something like that. is there any plan for bonus content updates?
