The ad frequency is a bit high but you can skip them after 5 seconds so it could be worse. It seems the “remove ads” IAP isn’t working. Hoping the dev sees my review because I mentioned it there. It’s not relative touch but you can set the ship to be further away from your thumb. Go to options by lifting your finger during play (or on the main menu) and move the slider marked “hovering”. See if you can beat my high score - there’s not many people on the leaderboard yet so I’m easy to find Tarkinowicz likes this.

Is anyone having the same issue?

I couldn’t get any of the IAP to work either so I left a review on the App Store stating that. I may try to contact the dev directly to let him know in case he doesn’t see my review or this thread.

I'm trying to fix IAP and I will let you know of the progress. Update: There's a chance that IAPs are still processing in the AppStore. Until then (or until I fix it) ads will show only once per day.

It stinks because I’d really like to pay you for all the fun I’ve been having. $0.99 seems generous to remove ads, though they’re not bothering me a bit. There are no banner ads or anything and runs are lasting me quite a while. Just having a blast with this game. I destroyed the leaderboard and my own high score last night. Still lots of power-ups left to upgrade. I like how there are 5 different difficulty settings and that they give you increasingly more bonuses while increasing the challenge. There are so few people on Game Center that I’d imagine you’re making next to nothing on your game. Hopefully more people pick this up and get as into it as I am (and those IAP get fixed so you can at least get my money). Thanks for your response to me on Twitter and also for joining the thread here, @Tarkinowicz.

Yep, i wanna shove my money over for this great little gem! Having a blast, too. Omfg, lol, you really destroyed it. Just when i thought i’m getting a little closer - DANG, off he goes. Congrats!

One bug I found is that when gamecenter is unreachable new highscores aren’t submitted when it later is available again. So now my local highscore is higher then my gamecenter score.

Was your main weapon fully upgraded? My lives and main weapon are maxed out but I still have a couple power-ups to finish upgrading. Also got all the ships. One thing I’d like to request is that the last ship used remained selected after game over. As of now it defaults back to the original ship. I usually just randomize them so it’s not a huge deal, especially since they are purely cosmetic. Never expected to get so much out of this little gem but that high score chasing is so addictive. It helps that I’ve got people like Lull4by to set the bar higher. Tarkinowicz and Lull4by like this. Lull4by Well-Known Member Aug 21, 2014 767 313 63 #15 Lull4by, Jun 6, 2020 Wow that score is really amazing, I would like to challenge it if I have enough free time after work. Yes I upgraded the Weapon to max first, then Lives and Magnet, I also upgraded the Double Points power up to maxed so I can get the “8x” scores as long as possible, there are still a lot of things to upgrade though. I second the option of choosing the same ship. BTW the game just got a update, the developer fixed the problem of iAP, if you are enjoying this gem, then it is the time to support the awesome developer. Tarkinowicz and Anotherkellydown like this.

Appreciate you making some changes that people requested. I bought the ad removal IAP but it still showed an ad. I honestly don’t care as the ads are so easy to skip over. Just wanted to let you know it happened. I went to the options screen and restored purchases. I’ll let you know if that took care of the ads. [edit] that seems to have done it Tarkinowicz likes this. VTX Well-Known Member Oct 20, 2008 300 4 18 Netherlands http://www.bejoy.nl #18 VTX, Jun 7, 2020 Same here: bought the iap but still getting ads. Also after the update I don’t get any permanent upgrades anymore (the green lasers en blue homing missiles)? edit: I just got the blue homing missiles again. Seems that the chance to find them got a lot lower Tarkinowicz Member Sep 4, 2018 7 6 3 Male Poland #19 Tarkinowicz, Jun 7, 2020 I'm looking at the bug with removing ads. I think If you buy IAP and then turn off the game without playing the information about purchase won't be saved locally in the game. Restore purchase in options fix this as Anotherkellydown said. (thanks for letting me know) I added now a couple of different things to the code to prevent ads from showing after purchase. I will make additional testing and upload the new version tomorrow. I am sorry for this situation and thank you for all the support. Lull4by and Anotherkellydown like this.
