    This game is very far from a click fest! We have made the game from the commander point of view, your fleet and squadrons do the small stuff like shooting. You point where they should go and what they should attack, you also determine how you approach a certain battle situation. Do you jump straight on them or take a more long-range approach?

    There is still a lot of depth in the game, because there are a wide variety of ships, turrets and facilites you can build. Different combinations of all of these give you different options during battle. When we combine this with the strategic star map and how you have options there as well the game starts having a nice bit of depth to it!

    Hey devs!

    I'm digging the game. Good work!

    Please patch the game so that you can move the galaxy map around more fully when on the screen where you choose to jump to next.

    The screen seems to lock at points so that you can't scroll up and see certain branches of the galaxy.

    I assume it's a glitch.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Just a few thoughts on videogate ;)

    - This game looks very interesting and I will probably pick up, well done devs
    - I do like to see gameplay footage for new games and will generally wait to see (unless it has a steam / PC version I can watch videos of)
    - Redribbbon has posted a number of videos which have helped me ... thanks, please dont stop :)
    - Anyone who complains about videos beong posted (I believe) should be posting better ones, or not complaining. I'd love a load of YT videos I watch to be better - but at least other people are going to the effort of making them! Kudos!
    - If you spent a year on it and it the marketing is really important - you should really be making a video, preferably with some VO talking about the game! I believe this will really help people decide to buy your app. This should be a no-brainer....

    Anyways ...Not trying to offfend anyone, and will enjoy looking into the game more later after work :)

    No thank you
    USA
    My advice is to get on Mobcrush. Show off the game. Answer questions. Have some fun showing off your creation. :)

    See if you can get with the toucharcade folks or Para_Digm.

    Greetings commander! Yes you are right about us making the video with our own voice over to explain the game. We got caught up in the trailer side of things and never though about this.

    By the way, the game is quite hard! Just the way we like it, I truly hope you like that as well. Normal and Hard are not easy to beat. Even beating the easy is a feat. But it will be interesting to hear how you fare, maybe I am wrong and I will be surprised. It is just that I got my behind kicked quite heavily when I played the game myself. Still, almost always it left me with a feeling that I could have done something differently and perhaps gotten further. Hopefully we have succeeded with this in your opinion as well.

    Is this an online game only? Not a fan of needing to always be online as I often play games on the airplane without wifi.

    No commander. You do not need internet to play the game, offline as offline can be!

    Do you support iCloud? If not you might consider it for an update.
    I'll be downloading it nonetheless ;)

    Thanks for clarifying and making it a section not a pop up of your games each time which gets annoying from other games. A dedicated section that we can click if fair and even smart!

    seems to be my kind of favorite game. premium price, roguelike, space....downloading as I type. Should be ready to play on my device now :)

    update: first look: seems to be a nice game. im german. started the game expecting english, but language by default was german. pretty nice. translation seems to be ok. music is nice also. matches and builds tension. i died on level easy by heavy enemy fire after just 4 "turns" (means warps) :)

    Like all games on the iPad that looks like a decent non child freemium game, I bought it even if I do not get to play it.

    Support premium PC looking games is a must.

    Then again, I might actually play it even if my backlog is overflowing.

    Instabuy!

    But guys,if your entire developer team depends on this game then you should have made it free with unlock because you know that it can be easily pirated,I think that you've seen the Impulse GP thread already.
