    Lol..I'm on a 32gig iPod touch and it feels barely enough. Cut my music down to ~13 gigs and the rest is apps and other junk. And always want to keep at least ~2gigs free for any impromptu video recordings...

    Haha! Yeah, I had a 32 gig iPhone and it was a mess--talk about hoarding.

    Hopefully, iCloud makes a bigger appearance in the second half of the year.

    -------------------

    I swear to gawd, this game is just as bad as a light show show when playing it end the dark at full intensity. Hell, it may be worse since you're trying to concentrate on that d@mn ship.

    Not only does Pink Floyd enhance the film Wizard of Oz, but their early psychodelic music is a perfect fit for this game. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is sweet bliss in action.

    I'd like to see the game provide access to all of the thousands of radio stations from the Radio tab in iTunes, similarly separated into their respective genres; music-wise, that should suffice for most people who don't have the space for huge personal playlists.

    Crap, that's another good idea. I forgot that iTunes had a radio tab. Hopefully the game really takes off, so the dev can add some more avenues to play music.

    I mean this game is literally just awesome! I feel like the only way you can get tired of it is if you stop liking music, especially if the dev updates it with new enemies and such.

    through the fire and the flames on the hardest difficulty setting on PC tended to be an uber trip, i wonder if the same applies here.

    Just bought due to all the good impressions...crashes on my 4s 5.0.1 JB after scanning my itunes library before reaching the main menu. Its not a RAM issue because its a 4s, have rebooted but no difference.
    Is the dev active in this thread?
    Anyone else try on 4s yet?

    Edit:seen 2 other people with 4s in the thread saying it works...damn

    I cant pick my own songs to play!

    When i've picked the song i get taken to the difficulty page with the visual intensity option, then i get taken to a page to choose my perks. Then i cant do anything, only go back to the difficulty options!

    Really not worth the effort of restoring, resyncing and losing all my JB tweaks for one game. I'm disappointed, but not that disappointed.

    Playing on an ipad 2....

    Love the epilepsy inducing effects, tho the non-animated ship initially made me dismissive....

    Question/gripe - why does the D-pad slide across the screen when playing?? I push right, the ship moves right and the actual D-pad moves right too. When i go left i sometimes run out of space and have to reposition! Is this some sort of bizarre design choice or just a glitch?

    Otherwise, think i'll play this loads

    No idea, but there's an option for fixed controls in the... options menu. ;)

    This. Works fine on my jb 4s.

    To the devs, great game! Please fix the floating sticks so they won't float too close to the edge of the screen making you unable to move in certain directions. I switched to the fixed sticks but theyre almost in the middle of the screen vertically. It'd be nice to be able to move the location of the fixed sticks in the options too, alternatively.

    Must be one of my packages, probably one that messes with musicplayer, ill try deleting some to get it to work.
    At least Steve is very helpful via e-mail, shows promise that the devs help out their community.

    Welcome to the forum Starg!

    Everyone -- some game tips:

    1) Upgrade pow and vol perks first and
    max them out to have the beat hazard weapon at the start of each track.

    2) Purchase the Gold Ship IAP -- easier to see and appears to have more firepower (?).

    You'll find Starg is an amazing developer. He will listen to your suggestions and bug reports if you post them to this thread.

    My initial suggestions:

    1) A hierarchy / tree / folders view of albums / artists like i-tunes music player.
    2) Remember last played position.
    3) Support for I-Tunes playlists
    4) Option to remove boss buzz alarm.
    5) Virtual scroll wheel or arrows to indicate where scrolling is possible and / or triggered.
