I just got it today and can not, for the life of me, see why it should be more than 300-400MB at most... <shrug> Outside of that.... it's not a bad little shmup. Cute story to go along with it. But there are no options. The relative touch is well implemented, but the lack of an options (or a settings menu at all) is kind of a downer. Whatchoogonnado? =P I still don't regret the purchase. Always happy to have another well made shoot 'em up on my phone. mj132 Well-Known Member Oct 2, 2013 354 5 18 United Kingdom #4 mj132, Jul 15, 2019 It is a large install and my guess is for the music too. As for the game I'm enjoying it so far and like already been said you can't beat having another good shoot em up to add to the growing collection on my phone 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, Jul 16, 2019 Last edited: Jul 16, 2019 I'm really wishing it had some sort of complex scoring system... that, and the addition of GameCenter leaderboards would add quite a bit to this one... maybe I've just been spoiled by all the other shmups I play... <shrug> And seeing as the music is a big part of the game, and takes up so much space.... it'd be kind of cool if we could export unlocked tracks.

I've been having a LOT of my reviews removed for some reason...) I was going to ask him to join us here, but there's no link to a website in the AppStore... seeing as this is (presumably) the dev's first iOS release... I guess that's not too surprising...

The size of the app is now smaller. And options for changing sound FX volume, music volume, and movement ratio were also added on the pause screen. Also for people who are interested, some of the in-game musics are also available both on Spotify and Apple Music, etc. And more are yet to be published.
