Universal Ace Ferrara and the Dino Menace (by Philipp Seifried)

Congrats Phil.
I can't wait for this to go stateside.

 

The only bonefish guaranteed buy of the night as of now. Been following this game forever. Cannot wait. Lots of love put in to this one.

 

Sorry for the confusion guys :/

By Galaxy on Fire-like I just meant ship combat in a 3D space, not free roam. Thought it would be easier for some to relate the game to an iOS game rather than a PC classic. Hence why I also said Strike Wing

That title sounds epic.

 

Thanks for the congrats, saansilt!

Sanuku, wow, man, that was fast!

 

So the setting is space but there's no vertical movement... just side to side? It'll be interesting to read what others think of this tonight but I'm not getting a real deep gameplay feeling from either video. But like I said, I'll keep an eye on this as I love space combat games.

 

He's a machine

 

I was born for this... (Playing the Journey Theme)​

 

Here's the game's official launch trailer:

A 2D space dogfighter, eh? Definitely need to try this out.

 

This game looks creative and funny, will be trying it out. Certainly more interesting than the next flappy bird copter game lol but that's just my opinion.

 

Good, but where's the laser noises and engine sounds? It's not a space game without them!

 

Strike wing was great!
Also strike commander.. Exactly like wing commander, but in aircraft and on earth.
Wish these would be released on iPhone

 

Just downloaded. Pretty big file size. It blows up to 900MB.

 

Is it more complex than it looks? Anyone see anything beyond being on an invisible flat surface moving left and right? It just looks like a very lite space shooter. Not sure I'd enjoy it.

 

WOW.

But I'm not surprised. It's 3D and in space :l

 

Yeah... I was really so sure i was gonna buy this, until i saw that movement was restricted to a single plane.

 

I was thinking the same thing, but maybe we just need to adjust our expectations? As in, instead of looking for a free roam fighter, perhaps we can go in looking for more of an arcade adventure set in space...with dinosaurs....and lasers... Maybe?

I mean it seems clear this dev put a lot of time, effort, and tlc into it.

I don't know man, I think I'm gonna hold off myself. My backlog now containing vita games is an easy out for me!

 

What happened to all the "instabuy" people??
