    Apparently this sometimes happens when something just came out. I'm guessing maybe it's likelier with a bigger game like this one. I don't know.
    So, right, try again later to see if it's working yet.

    Yeah it's only because we pushed the release button a little while ago. It often takes a few hours to show up as available for everyone. If you give it a little while, you should be able to get it.

    Looking forward to this soon as it's downloadable in the U.S. Although I'm thinking it's gonna pinch my wallet for a while. :)

    Well it's too easy to be on the haters side, but even tho it was explained a 1000 times, I agree with him, a lot of us were hoping for a proper FPS, but we got a rail shooter instead, so he is disappointed, and I am too, I was hoping for something better

    I'm 100% biased, but if you give it a go, I think it may change your mind. Yes, it moves you around, but the control, AI and camera control make it unique. And the better you get, the more fun it is.

    Looking forward to feedback. We're firing up a brackets tourney sign up tomorrow too.

    I'm glad this is an on the rails shooter. They are quite rare. What is the Game Center Integration like?

    GC integration is pretty basic, but the game's achievement system and our Challenge system is really robust. We rolled our own on those fronts...

    No, but it's only because our intent was to create a really satisfying touch control system.

    Hrm, finally got to download a little bit ago. All online features are down though. Can't create an account, view iap store or anything. Oh and shooting seems to be off for me, I have to tap slightly lower than where the shot actualy hits.

    The shooting depends on the gun you use, with some guns you tap the target while with others you tap/hold slightly lower.
    Even though it's an on-rails shooter, it's very engaging as you constanly look for current threads to take out. Add the combo mechanics for scorehunters and you got a tense game.

    I see that the DL size is about 500mb now, has the installed size changed as well?

    There are some blocker bugs right now.

    I'm stuck in the NUX because "transferring currency" timed out, but I still got passed to the next step without the currency so I'm stuck with a modal on the screen.

    Also, the starter pack disappeared from the store before I could buy it after canceling out of my purchase on accident the first time.

    Could you please give us another opportunity to purchase this pack since it went 'poof'. I recall it was on a timer too..

    Lastly, I'm also having trouble with the Midnight Rises integration. I used Facebook connect to authenticate in both apps, but my achievements are not transferring. Midnight Rises keeps asking me if I want to use my Midnight Star account, but then immediately asks me to pick a new name after authenticating with Facebook. Then I just get 'an error has occurred' create a new name after authenticating with Facebook even thought I already created a player name in Midnight Star.

    So you're telling me that there is no MFi support simply because of how great your touch system is? It doesn't matter how good touch is, MFi is just easy and more streamlined to use.
