Congrats on the release. What a week. Haven't been able to give one game a serious play as I keep going back and forth. Agree with the other posters about the control and gameplay. Would take a polished fun game like this over a real sim any day. Well done and happy flying all.
So disappointed this game is not universal. Would be sick on my iPad. Any plans to make it universal? Great game
Cheers, I'm still alive but not too much sleep but very happy with all the positive comments I find.. ...quite daunting this whole launch thing first time around..but now the weekend is here so no other distractions! This game is indeed universal and that big iPad screen makes for a very nice experience..not to mention what an even larger "iPad Pro " would do ...if it comes out No mfi controllers at the moment, when I developed the game I noticed the game could become extremely unbalanced depending on different input methods, so I decided to strip out all additional controllers(mfi/accelerometer) and focus on making the controls/helicopter movement/ game design to work together to make a better game. But I will consider looking into it again. Happy Flying & shooting everyone! Stefan
You say this game is universal yet when I try to download it on my iPad 4 it says " not compatable with my iPad". Even in the touch arcade description it reads iPhone only. So...............?
Morning! Yep, thats unfortunately it, this game requires an iOS device with metal for a good experience. Minimum requirement is iPad Air / Mini with retina Display or iPhone 5s. I can see now that the touch arcade page says iPhone instead of universal, although I don't know how to change that? /stefan
I left a really nice review on the AppStore. Some guy left a 1 star review for on screen controls. On a device that's touch screen. Lol I love people. But hate people. Hehe Billy
Yeah, there's always that one whiner that brings a 4-5 star down to a 3-4 star. I wish we could send "bitch slaps" to those who review games poorly because they didn't have their cake and eat it too. That sucks, and I hope it doesn't effect what should be a 5-star rating across the board. I left a review with a comment at the whiner and his absolutely uncalled for 1-star review. I've played games where I thought tilt actually ruined the experience, but because I still liked what the debs tried to do, I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars. A 1-star......SLAP! And I've got to say, this game has some hardcore challenge to get all 5 stars, but the sense of accomplishment when beating a level and reaching your star goal is bar-none.
Amen Reverend! Absolutely spot on with the "bitch slap" comment lol! You can see that the dev put a lot of himself in this game. The production values are great. Billy
Thanks guys, I'm very grateful..got so happy when I saw the review as it was quite a face punch with that one star review =O The review did't make much sense as you guys pointed out...the whole touch controller thing...hmm well what is there to say... I didn't want to tuck in review requests in game to get more reviews, which should balance the score to whatever an app really deserves but I really hope that isn't necessary. The least I can do is send you guys a promo code to give away to any friend you might think will appreciate some flying Glad you are liking the challenge!
Much appreciated! Yeah, I won't stand for temper tantrums and "dinging" a game because someone's got their pants (or panties) in a jumble
I agree, even states, "not coordinated", geez, guy needs to stop dinging devs for his issue. That's the hard part about indie devs, don't mean to be an ass, but jerks like that need to not be allowed to post reviews.
That certainly is important and I'm very happy to say that it is implemented, if you look at the setting screen you need to tap on the controller with the text "Swap/Up Down" I will make it more clear in the next update.... Stefan
Hi Guys, I'm planning a humble little promo code giveaway/contest here on TA today at 6pm uk time, as a thanks for all the interest and support for the game. Anybody who would like a free ticket..or if you know somebody who will be interested...keep an eye on the contest thread later today: http://forums.toucharcade.com/forumdisplay.php?f=22 Cheers Stefan
Is it possible to update the game so to include all of us with with older iPads Really want this on my iPad 4. Is it possible?
The metal api is not available on iPad 4, having said that there might be a chance that I can could create a lower quality setting if everything else runs smoothly i.e. AI and stuff, I will need to do more testing as I don't want the game play experience be affected. The other issue which is probably even more important is going forward, as adding support for iPad 4 would affect what can be put into the game. I can't promise anything but I will do a few tests...as a matter of fact...if you are interested I can invite you to beta test if I find it doable! Stefan
Very solid gameplay and great controls, you really feel like your in control of the chopper, I love the water splashing
