    +1 its addicting. I've put HOURS into the game and it hasn't even been released:) I'm still desperately trying to unlock Elite mode, which is nigh impossible.

    Well the game has been submitted so it could really hit anytime now. Let's hope, shay said he added some original elements back in that I'm pretty sure are not in the final build of the beta.

    Isotope FULL just came out. While this is all very subjective and future arrival or updates of CS One, Light Wars, Annihilation Arena, and Anomaly may make me rescind this statement, ISOTOPE IS THE KING OF TOP DOWN SPACE ARENA SHOOTERS!!

    The Campaign Mode doesn't do much for me at the moment but the Survival Mode is not only so full of a wide variety of interesting baddies, the MASS VARIETY of player controllable ships (which are incredibly varied in stats and types of weapons) and modifications is MADDENING.

    I'll say this, CS.one is intense. Like really INTENSE! Also it's controls are much more similar to asteroids than geo wars. It is not a twin stick shooter. I haven't played as much as I would like of Isotope as I've been to busy playing CS.one and zenonia. I've put hours into CS.one in one sitting. Always hitting restart. Personally having played both, I like CS.one better. That in no way detracts from my love of Isotope, just find CS.one to offer the more unique and addictive gameplay.

    I may convert over once I see it in action. So far it MIGHT have the best of both worlds with structured levels but randomized enemy placement.

    Having soo much fun with Isotope right now. Altho I feel like you can probably get and fully upgrade the best ship in a few days (mind you, a few days of several hours a day).

    Which is a ton from a mobile phone game, especially one that's only 2.99.

    Isotope is great, and I am very satisfied with it's purchase. Played it for two hours straight today, one of my longest iPhone gaming sessions. So thats definitely a suggestion if you want a deeper, more engaging game, especially with it's price.

    LightWars is the closest game to an actual clone of GeoWars, and that one's really solid. For $.99, I'd suggest it.

    Also, CS.ONE IS NOT A GEOMETRY WARS CLONE! The controls are what define a GeoWars game, and CS.ONE's are awful and different to Geo's in every way. So thats a no.

    Also, if you want a nice GeoWars clone for free, there's PewPew. I was really surprised with it's quality and how it plays. It's also got a "Pacifism" mode to it, which I haven't seen in any other clones.

    Agree completely, except it should be noted that PewPew has two modes from Geometry Wars 2 but no tradtitional mode...
    Some people seem to like NanpFighter amd Anomaly but I couldn't get into them.

    Yep your right not a geo wars game, but is a geo wars meets asteroids meets rez game. I didn't know you were talking about clones and re-hashes. Also have you "PLAYED" CS.ONE? Like the final build???? I don't see you on the leaderboards.
