    Tap the very top center of the screen. Tap again to reverse.

    Also, you can tap bottom right corner to jump. Longer tap is a higher jump.

    Wow, thanks for the tip! Just checked the trailer in the eShop and it looks amazingly similar, but wild west-themed and in 3D.

    Im starting to really hate my life.

    Work to get $ ------> Buy awesome ios games ------> No time to play games
    Quit job ---> No $ to buy games ----> No great games to play.

    Its like a cruel cruel joke. =(


    *Edit*
    On topic, is this best on iphone or ipad?

    Game is fun but sadly text is unreadable for me, way too small.

    Great game. Shooting controls feel wacky but we will see if I get use to it. Is there a cost for ammo?

    See that's why my $4.99 was well spent. No hesitation either!

    Hope I'm not being too ignorant with this title, and I won't be able to purchase it until tomorrow, but is it just a Junk Jack X on Mars, or am I missing something?

    A couple of big differences, this is a metroid influenced atmospheric game that follows a main storyline. Its probably more like motherload in regards to the mining aspect. Also, its not a pixel art game.

    >.> quality title. I can only see much care and attn to detail went into this. And i feel I've barely scratched the surface, no pun intended. My only qualms so far.. Are the lack of a map and a return xtal of some sort. At the very least, if we can't have a teleport home feature, seeing a map would help me not have to memorize the path back home if that makes sense. Otherwise, lovin' it!

    Uh, with that attitude I don't think you'll really fit in with the crowd here.

    Most of us here appreciate premium games that aren't full of IAP consumable junk and don't mind paying for quality gaming experiences.

    If you want freemium garbage, there's plenty out there for you.

    Jumping is weird. The character should jump at the moment I touch the screen, like every jump button works in every game, not at the moment I release.

    Get out of here. Go play Final Fantasy All The Bravest. It's free, it's perfect for you.

    I reported him for trolling. New user, ridiculously over the top post/flame bait.. strikes me as not a serious person.

    Great game! Been waiting for a long while for this type to hit :)

    Very much like two other games also worth looking in to. If you have a 3ds, Steamworld Dig... or on the vita soon. And app store ios search "I Dig It".

    Anywho, great work on this devs, worth every penny and more :)

    Not sure if this question has been asked but is the world infinite or is there a stopping point to where your exploration ends?
