Been waiting for this. I'm guessing it's "last as long as you can".

Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #8 Exact-Psience, Aug 15, 2012 This is what i noticed. I see touching the screen stops your ship. Seems like a good innovation that sets it apart from other runners. Will have to give it a go when it comes out. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #9 syntheticvoid, Aug 15, 2012 Yup, like Exact said, it's touch anywhere on the screen to stop. Your ship constantly moves left+right, and you'll need to stop the ship to not run into asteroids and to collect stars. Once you build up your star gauge, you go into warp mode, and you need to tap on the screen as quick as you can to boost up your warp speed (up to 4 levels), and collect gems (during the warp) - there are IAPs for gems, and a shop where you can either upgrade your minimum speed, slow down your maximum speed, purchase consumables; Nose Cone Drill which lets you survive one asteroid collision, and Star Magnets, which lets you collect 5 missed stars. You can also purchase Friends which help you gain more gems (The Fare, who gives you 1 gem for every 10 light years traveled), or add to your consumable item storage (The Trailer - tripple storage capacity) - There are also 2 extra hulls, both costing a considerable amount of gems (200,000 and 300,000) but not adding any stats, they're just cosmetic. The IAPs are; 15,000 for $0.99 50,000 for $1.99 150,000 for $2.99 500,000 for $4.99 LOLavi Well-Known Member May 23, 2011 8,364 0 0 iPhone gamer Finland #10 LOLavi, Aug 15, 2012 Well if you played the Last Rocket, you would know the controls. It has no tilt. You use taps and holds. One of the best puzzle platformers out there, TA rated it 5 stars and I fully agree. Judging by video, this probably has same controls Teh_Ninja Well-Known Member Mar 12, 2010 1,891 0 36 Waiter at Chili's Dallas #11 Teh_Ninja, Aug 15, 2012 Oh man, I'm so stoked for this!

But in this case, with the largest IAP being $4.99, and this being from the same dude who gave us The Last Rocket...ermm...yes?

Control System? - Forget it. The Space Ship is constandly moving from left to right and you only have the Option to stop it for a few seconds before you get killed by the Explosion of a Planet. If that`s Fun, you must be probably a masochist. Upgrades? - Sure. Pay some Dollars to get enough Coins to pay for Upgrade,... What many other Developers would sell as an Free Upgrade is here charged with 99 Cent. While I doesn`t care about the Money I had expected from Shaun Inman a lot more then some basic Runner Game for masochist. Conclusion: Masochist will love it, everyone else probably not.

Honestly didn't think it was remotely special though or see what the fuss was about. Perhaps I gave it away too quickly, but then I played it for as long as it held my interest. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #20 metalcasket, Aug 15, 2012 Sanuku, is that all you do in the game? :/ (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
