Is there any options to improve the performance? anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,031 613 113 #4 anthony78, Dec 5, 2020 Also, I see quite a few IAPs. Are those needed? Paid games that have IAPs are usually a turn off for me. techtronIQ Member Dec 4, 2020 6 3 3 http://techtroniq.com #5 techtronIQ, Dec 5, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! We worked hard on the framerate prior to release, but apparently need to look again. What levels are you seeing this on? techtronIQ Member Dec 4, 2020 6 3 3 http://techtroniq.com #6 techtronIQ, Dec 5, 2020 No, the game plays well without using the IAPs. You can collect coins from the bonus rounds (shoot the star to activate) in each level and shooting the ones that appear during the level. Of course, buying coins reduces the work of collecting them! Jstorm Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2020 1,081 472 83 Male Employed Earth #7 Jstorm, Dec 5, 2020 It’s happening on the first few levels already. techtronIQ Member Dec 4, 2020 6 3 3 http://techtroniq.com #8 techtronIQ, Dec 5, 2020 Thanks. We tested on a variety of iPhones, iPads, and Macs and it appeared to run smoothly; however, I will look at this. Thank you again for bringing this up!

Latest version of iOS. Also, the green birds kill me all the time because they are hard for me to see. And how do you avoid death by the UFOs that sweep across the bottom shooting flames? Since you’re only allowed to move horizontally, I can’t figure out how to take them out or avoid death. I’m not a fan of the pre-round power up choices. I know it’s part of the game so it’s only a minor complaint. Also, I wish you could go directly to the next level instead of back to the level select screen. techtronIQ Member Dec 4, 2020 6 3 3 http://techtroniq.com #10 techtronIQ, Dec 6, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! I'm looking into the frame rate issue. Each of the mobs has a different attack and we're hoping figuring that out adds to the experience. For example, the Alien calls birds to swarm under it as goes for a strafing run. You will likely die by hitting a bird if you do not stop that strafing run before it starts!
