    But isn't this part of the bullet hell craziness? :p I don't know, I usually hate bullet hell, because my brain can't follow everything that's going on screen, but I didn't struggle that much with this game.

    And I really like your idea of recovering body parts. I'm just not so sure about dodging enemy fire with the full robot on screen, maybe the hit box should be restricted to the robot's head.

    Qwertz555/hvianna - I confirmed this problem by viewing the video today by downloading the version of the appstore, still can not reproduce in debug mode, I am investigating to fix in next update.


    LordShad0wz - Thanks again for the support!


    hvianna - This problem with the internet connection is very serious, I'll check as soon as possible, certainly in the next game I will get beta tests here in the forum, sorry for the problem.

    I picked this up last night after seeing it buzzing on the hot list and so far I am not disappointed. A great shoot-em-up. Medium challenge right from the first boss. And it's free with a 1 dollar IAP to remove ads. For all the $5 games that have lead to disappointment, this game truly shines. Well worth your time and money. :)

    Just played for half hour or so, pretty cool take on shooters. Liked it enough to buy iap. Seems like the relative touch responsiveness could use a bit of massaging but all in all fun and satisfying. No regrets on this one. Good game ppl.

    To sum up: I like this more that that "H Space 2"

    Okay here is the beef:

    1. Odd relative touch control, never able to move the "head" to the bottom margin

    2. I would like see the beam sweep a wider angle because the current state is not not very useful as in other bullet hell, you can focus on dodging for most of the time

    3. My sidekicks rarely hit a thing for they do not stay in formation fast enough and they are too weak (I have upgraded them for 3 times)

    4. Goodies box takes too long a time to change item

    5. I am not sure but I mistake that only the "eye" is the hit box, but I find the whole head is.

    6. No score history, no leader board

    7. The "body" is cool when it first shows up. Then I find it blocks most of the view when I am busy dodging

    8. The X goodies is mostly, useless. I would rather have a "bomb" which I can choose when to deliver it

    9. I am seriously ask for the option to turn off that gorram "tutorial"! (better turn it off once the player has gone through it)

    10. I have some issue with pacing, I feel one stage is a bit too long and Stage 1 always gives me a few seconds to stare at the "blank" screen which I have nothing to do. Stage 2 is better but most enemies are stationary!

    Have to agree with you on most counts. Especially the drones, relative touch, hit box is definitely the entire head and I think it should only be the eye.

    Thank you for the feedback! I am preparing some surprises for version 1.1, much of it will be there is based on messages I receive and the feedback from the players, it is very important to me.
    Some of the news that I can say here are:
    - Nightmare Mode for those who open the 12 stages
    - Integrated Scoreboard with Gamecenter
    - Touch sensitive adjustment
    - Tutorial skip option
    - Robot Head Hit Box
    - And much more

    Wow. Was taken by surprise by this one. Really fun shmup. Love the pixel graphics and fantastic explosions. And the unique shooting system using angles is pretty cool.

    Didn't take any arm twisting to convince me to pay the all too low $.99 IAP for premium.

    Hi,

    I've been playing this game quite a bit late night in bed and loving it, but I tried playing at work today without internet connection and the game starts but crash back to home screen. This is only happening when there is no internet connection. Just wanted to let yo know I'm using an iphone 5s on IOS 9.2.1 if that helps

    Would audio options (where the music can be muted but sound effects kept) be possible? That'd be a great option to have, assuming it's not too hard to add.
