    That ruined it for me. You could call me cheap, but seeing as I'll be buying an iPad, I don't want to have to buy the game twice, just to play it on my two iDevices.

    If it'd been a universal app I'd be all over it, cause so far it looks very promising.

    Sweet screenshot! :eek:

    Explain the hovering half invisible gun part though! ;)

    Placing a part of weapon was just a try, but we think that it's much better than aiming reticule. There is just a part of weapon because we don't have 3D models of all of those weapons. The part moves relatively to your finger sliding on the screen. There is also d-pad functionality because sliding on large iPad screen is not comfortable. But you can switch this in options.

    What do you think, is it better or not?

    My favourite would be an animated crosshair with a 3D gun pointing in it's direction and a sight mode (like in the Modern Combat games and most other First Person shooters.) wich lets you shoot more preciseley. :eek:

    Sure but we have 2D game and we are struggling with iPhone 3G and iPod2 graphic memory. This is almost the best we can give you:)

    Just an animated crosshair would be good enough too. I might try to make a .gif animation to show you sort of what I was thinking of.

    It got abit wobbly for some reason (must have made some mistake somewhere :(), but yea:

    Fast version (50 ms between the frames):

    Slower version (75 ms between the frames):

    I don't know, but I think an animated crosshair would sort of give you a more rythmic feel. :eek:

    It doesn't look bad but we prefer the part of gun. I think it fits much better. What the others? What do you think about Der-Kleine's crosshair?

    I could win a promo code just for posting here? That's a pretty sweet deal ;)

    I prefer the gun, because then you get more visual feedback on the specific gun you're using, but I dislike the way it just fades into nothing.

    if you can make a mockup with der klein's crosshair, it might help with deciding

    It's the crosshair on the left! :p

    And the size might not be quite right.
