How does one get the enable autobomb upgrade? I've upgraded all available options under BOMB CUSTOM but none of them seem to be autobomb.
Aha, thanks! @Nekko Autobomb is one of the 50-coin upgrades. It was blanked out for me for awhile and eventually opened up. Not sure what I did. I haven't actually bought the upgrade yet.
Thanks for the info! I mistakenly assumed the A.I. assistant would be another type of ship. It is not, I will go back and edit my earlier post. I got the A.I. Assistant and it unlocks a "double play" mode where you have a second a.i. ship. The other unlocked a "with friends" mode - it's not multiplayer but it looks like some sort of social network thing where your second ship may be of another user. I don't know. Oh and also...there is another difficulty beyond God mode! Still no sign of a stage 3 though.
Thank you very much for that Pentarou Now i don't have to tap so franticly to destroy everything lol I noticed they put the banner at the bottom thinking that's gameplay hindering. I started to think mabey they want us to gain more % for hit chains by staying midscreen to top. Tell that to the kid who wants nothing more than to "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" all over the place.
Wow Thank you for that! Took a screenshot sonI know what i'm actually upgrading. Just unlocked type B, and reading that AI thing, I got all excited! Also just unlocked stage 1 normal. Stage 2 norma is already shown but still grayed out. Been collecting coins for a while on the 1-2 stage on easy
I managed to unlock the C-Type and the AI. A "double" mode popped up where you're with an AI controlled 2nd player. Also, another upgrade menu appeared in the customization screen where you can upgrade the AI. hope we can get a translation for it, and what it upgrades.
Kicks me out It keeps kicking me out after I hit "ok" at the opening of the app. I'm not even sure what it says before it tells me to hit OK. But it automatically kicks me out of the app once I do
What phone are you using? That happened to me on my 4S. The minimum specs are iPhone 5 and above. It's quite possible that it happens because your device is unsupported.
Anybody else liking this more than Air Attack 2? Nothing wrong with that game, I just find myself playing this more.
I haven't played Air Attack 2 because I'm on iOS 7.1.2, but I've played Air Attack and I must say I like this much more. I'm always coming back to see if I can grab more coins to improve the ship, or improve the %, etc. I've achieved nearly 89% on stage 1 once, but I haven't got anywhere near again. I wonder what makes the % go up and down exactly, because I've noticed I'm on 85% around mid-way and suddenly a big ship appears and the % goes down to 55-60% all of a sudden. Maybe there's something which mustn't be destroyed to keep % up? Btw, for me this game would be a 5-star if it was translated to English.
I believe that the number drops because the % is based on all enemies that have been encountered at any given point in a run. Larger enemies - especially bosses - can represent a substantial fraction of the total % possible, so can drop the % significantly. For example, say a boss was worth 50% of the total possible, your running % on a perfect run would drop from 100% to 50% upon encountering the boss. If you fail to perfect the boss, your final % won't rise back to 100%.
I have to agree with you, this is a badass game. I am playing it more than AA2. A lot has to do with GC being a complete fail for me. The fact that Apple doesn't rlly acknowledge the GC situation by not fixing it thru multiple iOS 9 iterations speaks volumes. Über sad state of affairs Apple.
Hey thanks, that makes sense. I'll keep on upgrading my ship to see if with maxed specs and an AI to help me out I get over 90% completion. As for a 3rd stage, maybe it's planned on a future update depending on the performance on this one. If we get a 3rd stage, maybe we'd also get a 1-2-3 unlocked, and even a 2-3 and an 1-3 too to see how players perform on each of those runs. One thing is clear: I don't remember watching so many videos in any F2P as in this one. I really hope this formula works for them and we get updates with more levels, ships, etc. On a side note, I've finally given up and granted the 5th star to the game. It really deserves it, although English would be very welcome.
Getting a 90% its fairly easy when you play the game with Type-C ship with maxed main gun. I usually got from 80-85% with Type-A maxed, but then i tried Type-C and on my second run, i managed to get 90%. Lets hope there really is a Level 3... be it on an upcomming update or something. This game is pretty fun when you play it on the harder difficulty levels.

For reference, a run of Stage 1-2 should be worth about 20-24 coins. Finally, for those who are new to CAVE shmups I strongly recommend taking a look at the older, made-for-iOS games in their library (Dodonpachi Resurrection / Espgaluda / Deathsmiles), perhaps even more so than their newer ports of older arcade games (Blissful Death / Bug Princess 1 & 2).
I just want to say that I was expecting some f2p shannanigans with this but it's almost free of it. For one thing, there is no "shop" or "store" button. There is only 1 type of currency and no hard paywall. Grinding is not difficult, the upgrade system is fair and linear/ gradual. Also no stamina system. There is a persistent ad bar that is not intrusive while playing the game but no way to remove it. There is also a video to watch after you die for a chance to multiply your coins gained in-game. It's like this was meant to be a premium game but they made it for free as a gift to the bullet hell fans. And I love it.
I think it's a strategy, and a great one. No IAP, just the chance to increase the income by watching videos, and many upgrades to buy. As I said, I've watched a lot of videos. I don't know how much they make per video, but I've easily watched 50... If everyone who plays watches as many as that, they could even make more money than if they sold the game as a premium title.
