    Bummer

    Fun game, I've traveled to 7 different planets but found 12. I like playing for the most part, though triggering the bomb/laser is rarely smooth and may be why I stop playing.

    Won't let me rate

    The page won't let me select a rating star. Just reloads the page.


    Edit: I downloaded the app and that let me rate.

    Pity to hear about no more sfx sounds, but so be it. I got used to it *cough not really cough*;)

    I'm surely not known for being a cheapskate around here, but i really think that if somebody already bought just only the infiniy energie for $4 bucks (not even talk about the no caps for $4 in addition), the first continue could be included, already.
    Some Devs (not too many!) do this for quite some time now, and they offer it as a thank you for their loyal supporters. Imho, it's an extra motivation to buy a restorable iap.
    So from my side, a clear NO to another iap.

    I made a 4-star review in my swiss store five days ago. Exactly because of this bitter taste i still have in my mouth. I does not feel like a real premium experience, although the ads are never thrown into your face...but they're always around, somehow. And the upgrade timer still exists, no matter what you spend.
    Just saying, depending on the tweaks and future updates, i'm more than willing to give the last star later on. I hope i'll lose this little bitter taste one day.

    And this might be the first time that i will add a 4-star game into my GOTY contenders. Maybe i'm a bit biased now after having a top email traffic with the Devs about some game bugs. Devs who care and delivered some fast solutions, already. Thumbs up.

    Edit: for a long time now i'm not able to give stars on this site. (I'm only on my iphone on TA). This works only on the TA app for me, at least.

    Suggestion

    To be upfront, I really love this game. Can't put it down once I have the ads up to keep the core.

    I have already reached the Blue Sector once on my 6th Journey and I am currently reaching it again with more passenger this time. This game keep getting more and more fun unlike those typical runner games.

    Suggestion:
    Previously, I wasted and crashed alot times due to phone calls and when my phone battery has a 20% or 10% notice message and the games keep going.
    Was thinking it will be good if the game will auto pause if there's a phone call or low battery notice.

    Fully deserve 5 star rating!

    I've gotten to the Blue Sector once (with um 3 people, hahahaha) and I'm in the final dungeon on the next playthrough with closer to 20. I find the game lots of fun, but I do have two comments:

    First, when ads run out (and they seem to run out if you play for more than 20 minutes), suddenly you're playing on hard mode. It's really hard to get anywhere (esp. in the black hole) on only one crash. Crystals feel too precious to spend on replays, so I have to basically quit playing if the ads run out. If there were an IAP to eliminate ads/give us a free crash, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

    Second, does the difficulty tend to go up as you play through playthroughs? I'm surprised to find that there are lots more kinds of obstacles on my second successful playthrough aaaaand I am crashing a lot more often in my lead-up to Blue Sector. (or was this just an update increasing difficulty?)

    But I like the game! I'm just worried about getting pushed around by its difficulty curve.

    Ahhh...mystery on the storyline...loving it.

    Is there sound in the scenes? Except from the music I cannot hear anything.....

    As for the IAP for 1st free continue, that's an upgrade for sure, but may offend some of the existing players that have already bought the other IAPs.

    Is the IAP for removing caps widely purchased? For me that one could be scrapped as it is essentially spending money to "remove part of the fun".

    About difficulty: No it's not. Although we made a system which shuffles levels segments so players are not bored with each playtrough.

    Do you use SWIPE DOWN gesture to trigger it?
    For some players it's preferable than two thumbs tap.

    I swipe down, and found life much easier when I switched to laser. I upgraded a couple of levels so now I can store 2 laser charges. Now I just laser everything for any reason as I still have one in reserve. That really helped train the muscle memory for the swipe down in an emergency.

    This HAS helped. I must have gone through the tutorial too fast.

    Maybe option to turn hints on/off?

    Really enjoying the game now ##


    Any chance of more codes?

    Hi

    I am new to the forum but registered simply to privide feedback on the game. I enjoy the game but like many others find some things frustrating, negativley impacting my experiance.

    For reference, I have purchased 2 packs of 250 idium crystals and also the unlimited (lightning?) to allow me to continue to play after 3 turns are used up. I have reached the blue sector a couple times as reference.

    Firstly I must commend you on a playable game. I give it a 7/10 and it is more positive than negative. However like others I too find the ads are aimply removed after a few flights reaultung in a fruatrating experiance. I would suggest providing a bonus to people who make one of the purchases a free attempt on the level each flight without an ad since they are annoying at beat of times and doubly sp when you do not even get the option and get stuck progressing a bit on some levels.

    Secondly I am unsure how some of the achievements work. One I am stuck on is the visit all paths achievement. I have done 17/31but do not see any obvious paths I have missed. How can it be so many planets have not been visited? Here is am image of my map:
    (See attached)

    Finally I sometimes would like to restart the game without having to die and lose all my crew (I have made many mistakes and continuing is pointless) however there is no simple option to 'abandon your ship' as it were.

    Many thanks, hope this is received in good spirit :)

    God speed, as they say in space,
    Pete

    Same here for the paths.

    And I like the Abandon Ship idea, especially if you play for maximizing Blue Sector once you have explored the locations.

    By the way, what is the best path to go through for maxing out crew?

    We are thinking of adding 1 screen reminder about controls in option. That should help.

    Thank you for supporting us.

    We are discussing various ideas here, but I know what is the point of your feedback.

    You see them and achievement is for flying them. Also you are still missing few.

    This will be already addressed in 2.0 update coming end of April.

    Thanks Pete!

    Hmm...interesting picture from padawanpete (btw, welcome to TA). I'm on 94% completion (saved all three specialists), still missing the vault and my paths achievement shows me 28/31.

    Edit: anyone updated the game and without any loss? My old macbook gave me some problems lately with synchronizing/updating stuff.
