    Got the same doing a beta test, but i deleted the beta and i also created a sandbox. Try creating a sandbox and logging in/out again into g/c.

    Ps: bought the iap cause this game is awesome

    Game Impressions

    Initial impressions. Love the colors, backgrounds, particle effects, explosions, pulsing bullet bombs. Suggested improvements,reduce size of bullets, increase number of bullets. Can't purchase ships or online capability. Looks better in iphone4. Can't wait until iPad with retina is available. Game looks amazing on both devices. Extremely immersive on iPad, sharper on iphone4.:cool:

    And the game is indeed severely crash prone, unplayable really on iPod Touch 4G. Crashes on startup, on ship selection, doesn't even proceed to the actual game. I think this might have to do with memory management, as I've seen numerous apps crash on touch4g's because devs overlooked the lack of RAM on this device compared to iPhone4.

    it seems like controls are improved in this version. nice visuals are cool but i think the game needs a bit more enemies, also weapon upgrades are kind of useless, because the are a lot of weapon drops and game difficulty scales more or less on the same level. question about iaps, do other ships have own leaderboards or not, because it seems like they are more powerful than the default one.

    Ok, after some trial and error it seems the game will run on touch4g as long as WiFi is disabled... which is :( because now I'm stuck with the free version and can't unlock my iAP.

    I restarted the device, but I'm on 4.1, which shouldn't be a problem because the game requires 4.0.

    The crashes apparently had something to do with Gamecenter. I logged out and then back in and now the game is working fine :D Sorry for the false alarm guys ^.^; The game seems so different on the two devices, just the shift of scale from 3.5" to 10".

    Complaint: the background changes faster than in the beta build. The missile alpha strikes imo looks bad... benefiting from the bigger missile design. Mirage's big laser is still looks the same (or is it? I can't tell).

    Hey guys, thanks for the positive responses and suggestions on more content! As you know from our Phoenix track-record, we will keep working on it :)

    For those of you that have problems, I understand it helps to log out of Game Center and/or App Store and not log back in, but simply start the game. It should all run fine and prompt you for a login if required. Let me know if it helps or if you still experience problems.

    Have fun setting High Scores!

    On the iPad sometimes a sound effect will get stuck after a game ends, and it doesn't go away unless you restart the app. Not a big issue, but worth noting. And it would be great if you add an option to use the powerup as soon as you get hit, instead of just at the killing blow.

    Finally I can play, thanks sapphire_neo. Signing out of Game Center works for me.
