I'm just one of those people that enjoys lots of content, probably because I'm a huge RPG fan. But it definitely does look like a great game. I hope they get some decent sales at least to keep making premium games. blue rocket Well-Known Member Nov 27, 2013 541 0 16 #3 blue rocket, Feb 26, 2018 iPhone X support?

Seems great from what I played. Game Center is there so thats always a plus. And the graphics are just my style. Ill have to check out the sound later on. Looks like its portrait only but Im fine with that. Tinsel Well-Known Member Dec 8, 2008 508 5 18 #7 Tinsel, Feb 26, 2018 This game is amazing. Really well done. Feels like it has the polish of a triple A console release. There are no IAP and quite a bit of content. I have been playing it on and off all morning so you will get at least around six hours or more enjoyment out of this one.

There are the main objectives for each level (beat the time, deliver packages) as well as a bonus objective almost. They have been clever so far. The end screen gives you a hint to what you need to do. EDIT: figured I should comment on the gameplay The crane that drops from your UFO works much better than those arcade claw machines - they actually pick things up consistently. You can grab objects at a bad angle, then you have to maneuver and release at just the right moment to get it to land how you wanted it to. Your tasks vary from loading a farmers truck with produce, to reconstructing Greek ruins and more. After each round you get paid depending on your performance and goals met. You can then spend your cash in the shop to get new ships and other cosmetics. I’m saving up for the UFO. Apparently some items affect gameplay. There is Game Center for achievements but no leaderboards. I’m not sure how that would fit with the game structure anyway... In the options there are 2 control methods. While the virtual stick/claw buttons work well, I liked the second, one-handed (taps/swipes) method a little better. Looking forward to putting more time in throughout the week. It’s not a high score chaser like I thought but it’s still really well done and best of all, fun! Gwarmaxx Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2010 4,446 376 83 NCC 1701 #9 Gwarmaxx, Feb 27, 2018 this isn't a soft launch, so anyone can tell me why it isn't available worldwide? i've emailed the devs but they still don't answer me. nyanpass Well-Known Member Dec 30, 2017 3,374 1,043 113 #10 nyanpass, Feb 27, 2018 Every move is cute and detailed. At a particular stage, it looked like there was a battle with the boss. The background music is cheerful. As it is the first mobile game of this famous developer, I expect the sequel to the series.

For example, the 'stuffed doggy' item is a bit of a speed boost. Qwertz555 Well-Known Member May 22, 2010 2,318 29 48 #14 Qwertz555, Feb 27, 2018 Yep same feelings about "only cosmetic". But here they have an impact on the gameplay. Great! You'll earn the money quickly and depending on the task, you'll need to switch the costumes for a better/easier result. Concerning replay value...getting all 3 stars ain't always that easy, and to unlock more work for your UFO needs a certain amount of stars. I have no idea about the whole content this game offers, but you'll might get at least 3-4 hours to simply beat it. Mind you, it's simply my guess This game is charming in every corner. Sounds, music, a bit wacky (once you start the game) yet very good physics, pixels, controls...so if you like a top one-hander game AND if you have a (required) steady hand, lol, grab this with your claw.

I just need to do that and purchase the rest of the purchasable outfits (there are a couple you cant purchase) to fully complete the game and achievements. A couple cosmetic-only outfits are necessary to complete achievements. Most of them do something, but sometimes the something is completely useless or makes the UFO too difficult to control. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #19 orangecan, Feb 28, 2018 I finally got round to picking this up yesterday and Ive got to add to the praise on here, Im loving every minute of it.

Looks like there are 27 levels with three objectives each. There might be more levels, I don't know. Well worth the premium price. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
