    First Impressions

    Since there's no thread yet in the iOS Games section I thought I'd post my first impressions/review here:

    After waiting 2 years, I could say that I'm not disappointed. Graphically the game looks amazing. The pixel art is well done, the bosses are creative, and the character models look great. Gameplay-wise the game is pretty solid. It kind of reminds me of a hardcore Jetpack Joyride. It's really polished. But (I haven't fought all the boss fights yet, but from the ones I did fight...) I did notice that the boss fights to be easier, which isn't a bad thing by any means but considering that "travelling" to that boss fight was a lot harder than fighting them, maybe they need to be harder (maybe). I also noticed though that when swiping to melee an enemy, I instead switch to a weapon, this could be a bug or just me swiping at the wrong part of the screen, either way I'd like to see buttons for melee and shoot just to avoid this. Overall I think this is a great game worthy of being called "App of the Week" (unless there's another release next week that'll be equally good or better). Great Job devs.

    Some suggestions for future updates:
    -Multiplayer with Friendly Fire :D
    -Costumes
    -I think "Bloodlust" shouldn't be a powerup instead maybe it could some sort of Ultimate Attack Mode where you have a meter that fills up everytime Joan kills, and you get to activate it by double tapping the screen or tilting your phone (in the same fashion as reloading in the Time Crisis Games on iOS).

    Thanks Again for the Code Devs!

    Game is amazing!

    Here's my impressions after playing enough to max out the pistol: plays like jet pack joyride but swiping up and down move you up and down those three platforms, swiping left and right on the left side of the screen switches weapons and on the right side swipes your knife for close encounters (which happen often) it's old school bloody and I love it! Giblets fly everywhere with physics and it feels like jet pack joyride and metal slug had a baby

    Best run!

    Got 11,927! Yay! That first boss is all about twitch and I feel like it's a challenge to get to the first boss but after beating him, I'm ready to take on more! So I'm ok with his hardness level. The weapons are fairly priced, upgrades are nice and the only issues I've had we're not getting my daily prize. It's happened twice now and there was stuttering in frame rate after Joan kicked down the door and began her terror. But so far I love it!

    Suggestions: different people to play as. Maybe she can save people locked in the building as she is, and then you can play as them.
    Thats it! Thanks you guys!

    Bugs/Glitches

    Alright having reached level 18 I can safely say that I've spent enough time with the game to see almost all the content that it has to offer. And it's really good. So far my score is 223630, and I still can't reach that last boss fight T_T But in my previous post I've talked about how the game was for me, I'm going to talk about a few bugs I've encountered.

    I noticed when minimizing the app and going to another and going back to it, the following happens: a) The music and gun sounds get cut off, though I still get to here the sounds of picking up coins and the "beeping" sound when my power up is about to be depleted, the gun sounds and music (all music, both in game and in menu) is gone. b) The app crashes, say I go to FB Messenger to reply to someone, and when I get back to the app it sends me to my home screen, though yeah the money I collected is still with me but I wasn't able to beat my high score. c) I get a black screen, I could here sounds and by tapping the screen the game seems to respond as I get to hear gunshots, but its just that a black screen. Though killing and running the app again did fix that, it's just kinda annoying that like letter B my progress on that run had been ended. At least I get to keep the coins I collected though.

    Interestingly enough letter's B and C only happened to me once (which is a good thing), but letter A happens to me every time I minimize the app to use another app. Hopefully this can be fixed. I'm running on an iPhone 5s on iOS 9.3.1

    Edit: I also am experiencing Bug/Glitch A sometimes when I open the app. I have to close and re open the app just to get the sound back.
