    Hey guys, I appreciate all that you've done as an indie dev on this game but man, I would have strongly advise to others reading this to NOT buy right now.

    I got past the intro part and some minor frustrations right off the bat:
    -when you die, you have to replay the cutscenes all over again. there was no explanation of the controls and you couldnt want to experiment because the NPC rushes ahead and if you wait too long she gets killed and game over.
    -there is no way to skip cutscenes period.

    Now, after getting through the first part, the vehicle part is straight up unplayable. There gyroscope controls are very wonky, at best. Needs to be a second joystick on the left to control. This is where I gave up after being frustrated repeatedly and deleting the app.

    I'm not going to request a refund because I knowingly took a chance on this app right but right now it's unplayable, unfortunately.

    I haven't had any issues with the vehicle controls. For me at least it seemed to control fine. I usually don't care for gyroscopes for steering but I thought the controls here were ok.

    Yes , but the cutscenes are not so many , and deeper into the game . There is one at the beginning , when the game starts (not talking about the intro) and in case you get in difficulty there are always the video hints .
    An explation of the controls can be found in the help section.
    If you feel that the veichle controls are not in line with your driving style try to set the sensitivity in options .

    I fully agree with oxyman,there are also plenty of checkpoints in the game that can help you while playing,car controls are a little bit annoying but still,it's not hard to get used to them.
    The most annoying part of the game though is when you meet these chasing kamikaze droids while driving,they are very annoying but possible to avoid,you just have to drive fast and try to do stunt-moves or destroy them with the rocket launcher.

    Performance on an iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.2 anyone? It looks as something I'd love, but I want to play it on that device. Won't buy without knowing if it works flawlessly on it. Thanks.

    I love this game but I've just reached an area I have a serious issue with. I'm on the mission where you have to deliver an explosive or something to the top of s building without being discovered. I get to the second floor and enter a room. There is a guy standing right by the alert switch with his back to me. I point my gun at him, press to shoot an nothing happens. I keep trying to shoot him but he hits the alarm before I can do anything. Trying to sneak past him has proved pointless as he always sees me and sounds the freaking alarm. Anyone have a tip? Is my not being able to shoot him intentional by the dev?

    EDIT: Aha, thanks to the help video that will pop up I figured it out lol.

    It should pop up a red question mark and show you a video of what to do. If not, there is a sound you listen for, the equipment in the room I think, if you listen it'll whir kind of loud. When it does you can walk through the door and into the room but just go to the boxes and then wait for it to make the noise again and you can exit the room.
    I usually play with the sound low and never even heard the noise. I don't know how to do the spoiler thing, sorry. Besides, if you mess up enough a red question mark pops up instead of the normal one and it will play a video for you. Also, there is a walk through in the menu.

    Reply to this message and copy/paste. Any news on performance on a 4S?

    Yeah, that part was tricky too. That whole section was tough lol. I still love the game though. And unlike most FPS it's less than 300 meg!

    It's our proprietary 3D game engine Urgh3D , it's quite performing and and the same time we avoid buying lincense for Pro 3D engines ! :)
    I'm into marketing and gameplay , if you have more specific question I'll forward them to our Dev "Boss" , that knows thinks in more detail :)

    Honestly I highly doubt the App Store will feature it, because they usually like to feature games with really polished, clean graphics. Not saying this game has really bad graphics, but it's pretty hard for an indie developer to make a game with super high quality assets. I wish you luck with your game though.

    Well..

    It's also a matter of performances , the reason why you see those graphics is that to make the game run on an iPad 2 (which is still the most common) you have to deal with memory. (thought there are games with better graphics that run well) So the tradeoff is running at 10 fps with high resolution models or at 25-28 with these graphics.
    For Apple featuring it depends on the experience of the editorial team to understand what is right for their game players.
    They are putting so many 2D casual games in best games that the thing is becoming boring.

    Fourtunately Kepler is a nice game to play , and it's been recognized here buy TA . Thanks

    We know very well what means to be featured since we had 2 editor's choices and many best new games .
    So let's see :)
