    I think that these 3 codes are left!

    Any takers, or has anyone taken them?

    Ok. One thing I've GOTTA ask. How the hell do you earn coins in this game?? I've been trying to figure it out for a couple days. Is it just random or do you earn after shooting down X amount of ships? I've been trying to grind to get the 3rd ship (Not the hashtagNOEN ship. That's coming in the next update) and I just can't figure it out.

    Check out the missing manual: http://cs54.com/galactic-nemesis-the-missing-manual/

    Everything you need to know there. But it's every 8,000 points I believe.

    And stop talking about that disgusting ship, NOEN! No one (except you) is looking forward to flopping around in a phallic, neon ship! Hahaha

    Tell her once I complete my strategy she's in for an ass whoopin! Lol

    I really can't wait to see what you do with this game. It's nice to see so much positive talk and it was nice you share with us a little of the actual development side. That's really the problem. People don't understand how many hours go into making even the most simplest of games.

    HAHA! May the high score be with you!

    I honestly can't wait to see how much more I can do with this game too! I got what I was hoping for with having people that like it, so I don't think I have a choice but to keep going! I'll keep you guys posted as new stuff is about to be added. :)

    Bought based on the awesome feedback on here. My Dad just bought it too when I showed him.

    On iPhone 6 when I'm holding just below the ship I'm finding if I go to the bottom left it actually presses the pause button - this would be suited better at the top where your fingers never go while playing? Just a suggestion.

    Keep up the great work.

    Wow, thank you! I will definitely consider giving people the option to move that. It was put at the bottom so that you didn't have to reach too far to pause it while deep in the action. I'll double check to be sure that a pause does not happen by sliding your finger over the pause button while shooting (it shouldn't, if it does I'll fix). :D Thanks again!!!

    Thanks to everyone who snagged a promo code yesterday and played. Can't wait to hear what you think of the game. No more promo codes for now since I need to save them to send out to press guys in hopes they will pick it up! :D

    Just saw this youtube video by Jane Jones that features Galactic Nemesis. If you have time, give her youtube channel some love for sure, her videos look top notch and seem super well produced.

    So you earn more points for having a full shield during each run as well as at the end of the run? I didn't notice that in the manual either, but it makes sense if that's the case.

    [Edit] Ok, after reading through it again I think it does specify that:

    "- Don't lose ship power

    Since picking up the 'P' power up increases your depleted ship power it actually has a positive impact on your score."

    Correct on the 'P', since after you re-power your ship, you start earning more points per alien again as if you never lost ship power. I'll see if I can find the correct wording to make it super clear. As for the shield you just don't want to use at all if you're going for the hard core top score, its power range does not impact the scoring, only use or non use.

    Side note:
    If you're JUST starting out and don't care about score and want to survive, a strategy would be to play without a shield at first, recharge when a 'P' drops, then immediately activate a shield. Gives you the most bang for your buck. :-D

    Oops, I meant your life/power/energy. Not Shield.

    Seems like the "P" power up consistently appears in the third wave. I've actually been using that strategy, but that's if you can make it to the third wave in one piece without a shield. :D of course you've always got a chance to pick up an extra shield too.

    Speaking of the shield, it would be cool if there was some indication as to how much power it had left. I noticed it gets more dim as you take damage, but it's not totally clear how much more you can take before it's depleted. Having said that, I can't think of a better way to make it more clear. I've thought about a small percentage indicator, more defined color, etc. but not sure if that's really necessary.

    One other thing; which does more damage, colliding with aliens or taking a bullet?

    Funny you say that, a power bar for a shield was actually brought up before I even released the game by at least one person. I slacked off and didn't add it, its definitely on my list!

    For damage, I had thought of making it different between bullets and being hit by an alien, but in the end, it felt good to have them equal. If you get hit by a wave of aliens, you're done for so making it more powerful of a hit seemed almost unfair when playing! ONE TINY IMPORTANT DETAIL, if you're getting shot at by a boss alien, it's one shot and your dead, unless you're using a shield of course. Boss bullets are no joke!
