Including music, SFX, online hi-scores and achievements. rRootage Online is Game Center enabled. ◆ Reviews for rRootage Online ◆ EUROGAMER (Rating 9/10): "rRootage Online is why Kenta Cho releases his games in the way he does; it's now got a chance to hit a new audience, and be enjoyed by many more people, in what feels like the definitive version." APP SPY (Rating 4/5): "...for those who consider themselves fans of the shmup genre, this is without a doubt a must buy." TOUCHARCADE: "Anyone who enjoys a nice 2D shooter should grab this one instantly." WHATSONIPHONE (Rating 4.5/5): "rRootage is a classic game faithfully rendered on the iphone" FINGERGAMING: "rRootage offers much more variety than the typical App Store shoot-’em-up [...]. Shooter fans should definitely check this one out." POCKETGAMER: "The fact that this gem is available on the App Store is great news." THEPORTABLEGAMER: "If R-Type was too simple for you, or DoDonPachi Resurrection was something you completed with one eye closed while doing one handed pushups, then this is worthy of your time and money." Controls: * Touch and hold to move ship * Second touch to trigger special * Double tap to pause game Menu: * Touch the squares to select mode/stage Game: Control your ship and avoid the barrage. Use the laser to destroy the battleship of the enemy. You can cause more damage if you fire the laser close to the enemy. When all ships are destroyed, the game is over. The ship extends at 200,000 and every 500,000 points. . Normal Mode This is the standard game mode. - Special -> Bomb The bomb wipes enemies bullets. The number of bombs are displayed at the left-down corner. . PSY Mode As your ship grazes a bullet, the graze meter (displayed at the right-down corner) increases. When the graze meter becomes full, the ship becomes invincible for a while. - Special -> Rolling This movement widens the range the ship can graze. . IKA Mode Your ship has two attributes, white and black. All bullets also have these attributes, and your ship can absorb bullets that have the same attribute. Absorbed bullets are changed into lasers automatically. - Special -> Attribution change Change your ship’s attribute. . GW Mode Your ship can use the reflector. The reflector reflects bullets around your ship. - Special -> Reflector To use the reflector, you have to activate special until the reflector meter (displayed at the left-down corner) becomes empty. You can use the reflector only if the reflector meter displays 'OK'.

I shall remove my version. I had an update planned to be like this version but there is no point now. I heartily recommend this !! Love Kentas shooters. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,714 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #3 squarezero, Jul 9, 2010 That's high praise. But yeah, it deserves it. BTW, the game is supported by iAds, which are visible only on the high score screen. lazrhog Well-Known Member Oct 1, 2008 290 1 18 Software UK #4 lazrhog, Jul 9, 2010 My version has now been removed from the AppStore weakfl Well-Known Member Jul 9, 2010 46 0 6 #5 weakfl, Jul 9, 2010 Hi lazrhog! Thanks for the kind words, nice to hear that you like my version. It still has some issues too. Seems like your controls work better, I'll have to look into that. And why remove your version? I really had a lot of fun playing it and there can't be enough free games. best regards, Miko eugekava Well-Known Member Jul 8, 2009 2,707 0 36 Melbourne, Australia #6 eugekava, Jul 9, 2010 I have to say, the game is very good. For some reason I can't connect to high score server. On up side - no ads. @lazrhog - you shouldn't remove your version. No reason why both can't co-exist. Regarding this game, relative controls work well. I think that levels should not be available in any order. They should unlock sequentially. As one level is completed, the next should light up as available. I am not sure how the original worked but it would add a bit of purpose to playing. Thanks for an excellent game, Miko. nesio718 Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2010 914 0 0 getting paid.... Sunny South FL!! #7 nesio718, Jul 9, 2010 Got 2,018,730 in 1A. Tried to look up scores and got a network error. How are online scores recorded if we aren't asked to put in a name or logged into a service like openfeint? Also, how do you leave in the middle of a stage? Do I have to use all my lives to get back to level select screen? Aside from those questions, I commend you for the port. I played the pc game all the time and this just became my bullet hell game of choice for the iPhone. sam the lion Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2009 1,456 0 36 Italy #8 sam the lion, Jul 9, 2010 the two of you might work together on the definitive version weakfl Well-Known Member Jul 9, 2010 46 0 6 #9 weakfl, Jul 9, 2010 When you die or finish a stage the game checks if you've reached a new highscore and an alert should pop up where you can enter your name. If the request fails the box won't pop up, which probably happened in your case. I think the timeout limit is too low for certain areas if you're connected via UMTS/cell. I'll look into it. Currently, yes. I'll probably add a button to the pause screen to get back to the main menu immediately. Thanks! dyscode Well-Known Member Apr 11, 2010 1,102 0 36 Living World #10 dyscode, Jul 9, 2010 I lazrhog, why? I realized that it was not working on iOS4 for me anymore, @weakfl nice 'alternate version' and it works on iOS4, too! And I really dig the icon! thanks to both for you for making this game free. PS: I already enjoyed rRootage on the Mac, years back already. your personal robot Well-Known Member Nov 11, 2008 3,606 3 0 nonverbalist Berlin #11 your personal robot, Jul 9, 2010 To me, sound is making a huge difference! Great version. Thanks! Maythius Well-Known Member Nov 3, 2008 1,165 3 0 #12 Maythius, Jul 9, 2010 This port is Godly! Just took 1st place on stage 1A Maythius Well-Known Member Nov 3, 2008 1,165 3 0 #13 Maythius, Jul 9, 2010 OKay big problem with the app! It doesn't save any of my data. I played and took first place on stage 1a a played a bit more, I closed the app for a bit and when I went back on all my data was lost Guise Well-Known Member Jul 10, 2009 2,027 14 38 #14 Guise, Jul 9, 2010 Awesome. This is an unexpected and welcome port. Great job, developer! I'm also having some trouble connecting to the high scores but will keep trying. Would it be possible to include an option to remove the in-game music but keep the sound effects? Because that would be great. Thanks again. spacecowgoesmoo Well-Known Member Sep 4, 2008 722 3 0 Composer / Level Designer @ Bovinedragon Software Los Angeles, USA http://www.spacecowmusic.com #15 spacecowgoesmoo, Jul 9, 2010 Sweet!
