    Wow what a great game, this is definitely worth a Game of the Week or something :)

    Question: How can one play a shmup on iOS for long sessions? I've tried other shmups on iOS before but the longer you keep your finger on the screen, the more friction this creates and it feels really unpleasant. Any tips?

    I use a stylus. I really love using a stylus with this type of game. I have a very thin and well made stylus from Targus. It allows me to see more of the screen and save my finger tip hehe

    And I agree. I've been going back and forth and this is my game of the week so far. TA needs to do a review of this game as well.

    Oh I never thought about using a stylus with shmups... I love shmups but the reason I didn't play them much on iOS was the finger/friction problem. I'll definitely check some, thanks :)

    Yep stylus is the way to go. Once I switched I was able to play for an hour.
    This game is crazy good, like a game of the year top 10 good in my book.

    Sergei,

    I finally saved up enough for the ghost needle. It's a bad ass looking ship and the lock on cannons are my favorite type. Just one issue. I cannot even kill the any of the enemies with it on level one in casual. Even concentrating on the first few enemies that pop up. They don't die. So I cannot even make any coins. That's a major disappointment. So now I have to go back to another ship just to grind and upgrade a weapon on a more powerful ship I just purchased? This can't be right. I kept grinding since last night to get the coins for the ship. I didn't do any upgrades so I could save the coins. I wanted to beat level 3.

    Also if you added a coin doubler IAP that's restorable I would purchase it to further support you guys. This game warrants it.

    Billy

    Edit- I just upgraded the weapon and even still it is still not killing things. The enemy ships disappear before they die. And it then switches targets making it worse. The weapon of the beginning ship with no upgrade is much much better than this. I'm going to have to grind again to try another ship I guess. This has really set me back. Anyone else wanna give the ghost needle a try and see if I'm crazy lol

    Great game. Definitely under priced. It's cool to have a bullet hell shooter in landscape mode for a change.

    My one complaint is the game doesn't seem to support fast app switching. On my iPhone 6, any time I switch to another app, or even just go to the home screen and back, the app restarts and I lose any progress. Very annoying if I need to take a call or answer a text while playing.

    aaaaaaaaaand I'm also having this issue.


    iPhone 5 - iOS 7.1.2

    Not jailbroken.

    I'm guessing it's only iOS 7 with the issues?

    I just tried playing this with a stylus, and it's much better. I've tried it in the past with other shumps and didn't like it as much, but for this game it really helps.

    I find with a stylus that the advantages are that it doesn't cover the screen so much, and it doesn't get my fingertip tired. The disadvantage though is I find I can't move the ship around as accurately at high speed as with my finger. In some other bullet hell shooters I've tried it with I found the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. With this game though, projectiles are coming at you from all directions, so not having your hand blocking the view is a much bigger advantage. At the same time it's not as fast as some shmups, so the fact that I can't move quite as fast isn't as big a disadvantage. So definitely try it with a stylus.

    Yes, I think we will raise the power of this spaceship - you did not pay for nothing - with the upcoming update it will become more powerful and more functional.

    Am I the only one who secretly wishes this could be magically played in portrait on iPhone? On iPad the game's super easy to play by holding the iPad with one hand/resting it on something and playing with my right index finger, but I'm totally not able to keep up on iPhone using the same technique or playing with my thumbs.

    I though it was "different" that this was landscape only too. I like the wide view, but it would be nice to have to option to swap between portrait and landscape, either through options, or just by tilting the phone.

    I tried the stylus as mentioned above and really like it that way. Mind you, I don't play ANY other games with a stylus. It's just one of those cheap little pen/stylus ones too.

    Looking forward to the first update to this beauty. It'll be great to have Game Center working properly. Regardless, this is definitely a standout release this week.
