    Had a feeling that had to be the case. Thanks for all the attention to this. Looking forward to it.

    Ok.

    I purchased the double cash. I like currency doublers and this game warrants the additional purchase.

    I have two questions.

    1) was it intentional to make it so that you have to stop firing and then switch directions to then fire again? I REALLY don't like this. Why can't I just fire and move? Can this be changed please?

    2) are the melee weapons truly melee and don't have some type of use that act like ammo? I was thinking of purchasing the Katana so I have a good melee weapon since I always run out of ammo.

    That's it for now.

    Hey Billy,

    Don't you think it's better being able to back away from the enemies while firing at them rather than turning your back on them to fire at something else? That was my take on the moving while firing control method. I like the freedom of being able to move around a lot while firing in one direction. Then I turn around and do it in the other direction. And yeah, I'm going to have to get the money doubler as well. It's taking way too long to unlock these weapons. Lol

    I keep dying because I have to lift my finger up and fire the other direction. I can't react fast enough. Normally I'm surrounded more than I need to back away. Atleast this is my experience so far. I'm probably no where near as far in as you are. Yet. Hehe.

    All except for the chainsaw which requires fuel like the flamethrower. I don't have the katana, but I have the regular sword and it's kinda op. The katana is probably awesome and it's pretty cheap. I'll buy it as soon as I feel like the sword isn't getting it done anymore.

    I get it. It can get pretty hectic and sometimes I try to turn around and fail to do so and lose control of both sides of the screen lol. Not sure which way would be better at that point. Some of my issue is the button size on the 6+. I get distracted a lot fiddling with the tiny buttons trying to find the right one or sometimes any button. They are so small. Can't wait for that fix, it should improve my game play dramatically.

    I like how you need to release your finger to fire in the other direction. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to reverse and shoot. But yeah would be nice if there was an option for people who doesn't like how it works atm

    so far enjoying this game, its pretty great for a buck. but the one thing i dont like as well is the fact that you have to raise your finger to shoot in the other direction, i wish there was a mode where you didnt need to lift your finger to change directions, it would be awesome if there was an option to switch between the current mode and this new one. another thing i would like would be to have a visible analog stick, that might make controlling easier because i often move my finger too far to the left and i end up not moving and taking a lot of damage :p other than these two things i think this game is pretty good and the negative reviews are a bit harsh.

    It's great to see the community has started to turn around on this game! We think it's a fun little game and it's awesome seeing discussion about gameplay strategies now! We had a few bumps in the launch, but we're working to resolve them.

    We have an update coming soon that will add some alternate control schemes. It will also fix the iPhone 6+ button size issue. We've also added the ability to move the weapon buttons around and toggle between 3 button sizes (small, normal and large) for the people who have larger or smaller fingers. We've also the ability to flip between backstrafing (default) or turning when changing directions.

    Developer doing an awesome job tending to everyone's needs.
    Hope to see another level added in future and maybe a new mode. Understand if you don't add much because the price of the game is so little but it's definitely got enough content already for only a dollar .
    I'll continue to spread the word and post about it for as long as I'm playing it. Back to the game

    I love all of your games, Ravenous, and this one is no different. I bought this game day 1, and I knew it would be long before you guys fixed it up. Sure enough, an update popped up almost immediately that whipped this game into shape! You guys are great at what you do, keep it up!

    Loving the game so far! The animation is beautiful, the weapons are fantastic, and the fun is never ending! Can't wait to see more levels and weapons hopefully come later! And yes, I have to admit it would be nice to not have to lift my finger in order to switch directions while shooting. Thanks guys!

    2 bugs I have noticed so far: after leaving the game open all night, I woke up this morning and started playing and every time I would break open a crate, nothing would be in it. No money, ammo, potions, nothing.

    Also, when the timer runs out, nothing happens. Enemies stop spawning, and the game doesn't end. I have to pause and end the game in order to advance.

    Hope this helps! ;)

    Ok, I'm back on board with this as I'm a Ravenous fan. Am liking it but desperately need the control setup update. Liking it more and more. Kudos Ravenous for the timely acknowledgement.

    Really loving this game but since the update I now have the save bug. I didn't have it before the update like most others. But I have it now. Everything else is working fine. Just played for half an hour,closed the game and nothing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Didn't help. I'm playing on a iPad mini 2 with latest firmware installed. Edit. Just tried something bizarre but it actually worked. I have always turned off the damage numbers in the options before I play. Every time I would loose my progress the option would be turned back on when I re opened the game. Just out of curiosity I left the damage numbers on and started playing. Closed the game and reopened and my progress was saved. Tried it multiple times and it worked. Now that's an odd little bug lol. At least I can start enjoying the game now.

    Oh when it's stuck at 0:00 and no crates or enemies?

    Yes it's a bug, simply go to the sides and shoot your weapon there. There is a monster on one of the sides and you can shoot him

    It's even better seeing a developer take so much time and attention listening to fan feedback. You guys are awesome and can't wait for the 6+ update.

    That's AWESOME! Thank you for adding the alternate control scheme! I can't wait. I went and spent another $1 and bought the Katana. I had to have it lol.
