I’ve only completed the first level, but I’m a sucker for story-driven arcade shooters. There seems to be a lot to chew on here — all tasty, so to speak. I unlock the full game, but may end up picking up the deluxe package later on. Son of Anarchy and Anotherkellydown like this.

I played the first few missions too and like it a lot so far. Will probably pick up the full game. I didn’t look, but is there a way to make it relative touch? The only thing that bugs me a little is your thumb covers stuff - relative touch would alleviate that for the most part. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #4 squarezero, Feb 23, 2024 Haven’t looked into the controls options yet — I’m with you on relative touch. I’ll update the thread title. David is using his full name in the store, so we want to keep that for reference as well.

I really got into this after posting. There are Game Center leaderboards and achievements, cloud saves, relative touch, joystick and normal (ship is next to finger), as well as a sensitivity slider. The dev didn’t miss a thing. I went ahead and bought the $10 IAP. This game is awesome. squarezero likes this. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,000 113 #7 ste86uk, Feb 23, 2024 Story driven? That made me take a look and it all sounds good. Given it a download to check it out, I don’t generally like arcade games as they are mostly high score chasers which doesn’t interest me. But maybe with it being story driven and having new weapons and upgrades to unlock I’ll find it suits me more. elcrazy likes this. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #8 squarezero, Feb 23, 2024 Story + choice of ships, weapons, powers, and all sorts of upgrades. The levels are replayable, but this is definitely not a score chaser. BTW, the relative touch controls work very well. ste86uk likes this. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #9 squarezero, Feb 23, 2024 Last edited: Feb 23, 2024 I did, too.

If a game isn’t included in Jared’s “out now” article, then it will be eligible for the following week. I agree that some of the enemy bullets - especially the green poison ones - are hard to differentiate from the green health pickups. At one point I was slamming into them trying to recover health lol. I want people to play this game really bad and it hurts to see the fairly empty leaderboards. Hopefully this will pick up some steam as time passes. It’s obvious this was a labor of love. I hope the dev does well so we can see what else he has up his sleeve. Aurelien.L Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2014 207 13 18 #14 Aurelien.L, Feb 25, 2024 Full control support should be awsome! But the game is really good!

Gone are the days of old when games from indie devs shined. Games like Meteor, the fireball series, tilt to live, this awesome sock game side scroller earth worm jim hybrid which the name i forget. Than i discovered Hexage and there first game an awesome slot machine robot action rpg was just so out there but i loved the originality of it. The graphics engine hexage uses in there games that bright neon the colors just pop. Then they released Reaper i was hooked a action rpg bullethell hybrid game also very original. Games like flying tank dont come around often, this feels like a game from that gone era of awesome indie ios games that 32 bit era god we lost so many great games during the purge ::shakes fist at apple:: flying tank is if you played reaper you already know very similar interface, sleek, as always hexage blows us away with those bright neons the colors just pop. Its reaper with ships people but they call them tanks! you got upgrades, tons of weapons, different tanks all with unique abilties to choose from and upgrade. Controls you can use a blutooth controller, there is 3 touch modes , relative touch cause Hexage knows our fingers always get in the way. Theres a story mode also if you care about these things with little scenes and story info. Try out the free one if you like there is some levels to try, no ads or any bloat this how games should be made. The full version unlocks the full game , like 6 diff sh…tanks all with diff abilities and upgrades, there is alot here folks!! I became a huge fan of Hexage in 2011 when i discovered Robotek. Every game after has been a unique genre mash up with the hexage stamp of neon bullets and whatever else. Reaper became one of my fav action rpg bullet hells it was just fun. Redcon , radiant, ritual, even a odd pacman type of thing Evac. The point is HEXAGE makes great games and Flying Tank is dope and i have really bad ADHD cant you tell?!? sebgo and Anotherkellydown like this. sebgo Well-Known Member Dec 26, 2010 833 398 63 Male 95% leisure.

Long gone from my purchase history and, unfortunately, I also lost a backup I made of several iOS games (amongst other things such as pictures and whatnot) when my external drive stopped working.

And for sure was Earthworm Jim inspired. This is Game of the year material right here. I picked up the deluxe package almost instantly. I have been playing for days. I absolutely love this. It does have that Sine Mora vibe. I think I may like this even better. The game play is so fun. Everytbing is done to perfection. Controls, graphics, gameplay, options, etc are all top notch. The different ship, weapons, bombs, secondary weapons and more all add so much fun and replay ability. Weapons are all unique and very different. Setting up multiple ships with different load outs feels fun and strategic. There is nothing bad I can say about this game. Love it!! Early game of the year contender.

Not to sound cheap but looks from their IAP list that they may offer discounts like $5.99 on Deluxe but haven’t triggered it yet. May just get the standard options. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #19 squarezero, Feb 28, 2024 You should get whatever works for you — don’t feel pressured by the big spenders here .
