Not a big fan of these games but this one looks good graphics wise. I'll buy this when it goes on sale. I've probably spent $40in past two weeks on games . Better slow down

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! Oh man. You are awesome. I'm loving this game on my iPhone. I would love it on my iPad 4. There are a lot of people out here with 3sand 4s. Of course I'll help you test it. Sign me up.
Hey Guys, A little update The first update is pretty much ready to go with bug fixes, general stability and a little bit of polish. I'm hoping that it will be able to arrive this weekend. The following update after this will feature some new levels. The game will still only be working on iOS devices with metal as it's best to wait until after iOS 9 release before I stir things up under the hood. There will also be another round of the "promo codes for polar bear pics" competition when I got the new build through Cheers Stefan
Happy Monday! The first update for Ace is out, it just the missed the weekend but now it's here! I prioritised bugs on this first round before adding more levels. Changlist Stability Improvements and important bug fixes "Invert controller" on settings screen made more clear Some tweaks to level difficulty A little bit of polish (you can now se a splash when a container drops into the ocean) More Happy Flying and shooting! Stefan
Happy Sunday! Ace Maverick is ONE month old today...and to celebrate the occasion the "Polar bear pics for promo codes" is running...in addition to special half price offer to support lazy Sunday gaming! =D Stefan
I absolutely LOVE helicopter flight sims and themed games, and so of all the caveats mentioned the only one that has me the most concerned is separate elevation control (perhaps a little slider next to the Roll and Thrust control stick?) I will pick this up in hopes of soon to be improved controls and additional content! P.S. Touch Arcade says sale, but AppStore price is unchanged in US AppStore
Hi Gurney, Thanks for picking up Ace. As the game is more of an arcade/action game than simulator ...the altitude control where dropped during development as there was very little use for it. The only scenario was during landing and that was replaced with automated sequence, this allowed for what I saw as the "golden path"* with a streamlined dual stick setup, where players never have to lift their thumbs from the controls. Accelerometer support was also taken out as the dual stick setup allowed for a more aggressive manoeuvring ( ie pulling the sticks opposite direction in an instant) How would you like to use a separate altitude control? /Stefan *Dune ref
Having played it on the iPad 4 now I have to say it's looks and plays well. Certainly not at the graphic level of iPhone 6s but definentely respectable. Frame rate is smooth. Obvious lower Rez. But I like it. Maybe a few more tweaks can get the resolution a little higher.
Happy Saturday Everyone! There is a new update out, this update have big performance improvements and that occasional "level fail slap in the face bug" should be gone! I'm currently working on support for iOS gamepads and experimenting with putting in accelerometer controls for those who don't like thumb sticks and the new levels are of course also in the works! /Stefan
People still playing this game? Looking into picking this one up as this week's releases were sub par at best!
As it is Earth Day, it is also the perfect day for a promo code giveaway for Ace Maverick! Head over to the thread if you want to grab a free copy: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=3832148#post3832148 Happy Flying & Shooting! Stefan
Hi, Thanks for your kind words! Yes, there is certainly more content on the way! It took a little more time to make more content than I originally thought as I'm doing everything on my own except the music, so programming art, design. I needed to do some changes under the hood to make it more efficient...and that got a little hairy, but it won't be much longer! Stefan
