Phoenix HD has never run in native-res on iPod Touch 4G or even iPhone4. Only 4S and iPad 2 can do native-res. His review had pretty much no truth to it :shrug:
Noooo! I'm no longer #1 in my city! I'm #3 in my city @ ~1.7mil..but #1 is @ ~5.1mil. Argh! But here's only 18 players in my city. lol.. Time to really start practicing/playing to reclaim #1 in my city...
$4 is a steal for this gem. I really REALLY want vanity iAPs in the next update. More backgrounds, even if they are prototypes and possibly ship re-skin pack.
lucky... I've got 5 players in my city... and 3 of them are me... (1 from my old name - appsymmetry, and another from the SD version of Phoenix [I think... - there's 2 syntheticvoid scores on there])... so there's no real competition here... =oP However, #8 In Indiana... need to get above 15.8 million to hit #1... =oP Need more practice...
Lol.. I'm in Bay Area in Cali..just happen to be in a "small" city here. I'm #91 in san jose, but #1187 for the state. =P
Yes! Big thanks to Selachii for implementing audio options. Is the green health bar now permanent, ie can't be disabled?
Thanks for the great responses in general guys, really happy to read them. Also your scoring experience is great to read as always @sapphire_neo: great screenshot! Ah, if he's in the group, maybe we can enlighten him Correct! You're welcome and yes, the health bar is indeed permanent now, as we think it improves the gameplay a lot and does not clutter too much.
The joys of being an Indian gamer, I'm #1 n the country (516 players) with 10.2 mil For anyone who doesn't know, you can check out the leaderboards for Top 20 city/state/country here: http://www.firigames.com/phoenix/leaderboards Which basically means India doesn't show up due to its low average Damn you casual gamers! Edit: Hehe some on-the-fly HTML editing is the solution (also, I'm e4 and Phoenix)
Yes he seems to have a rather black view on the whole freemium thing. He is actually a forum user here who also posted in the iCade thread
It's always sad to see such reviews from bonafide TA users. How do people expect totally free stuff? Especially of this caliber?! Do they think the Flare HD engine just dropped out of thin air
The best part is the "with no way out!". Like if you don't pay for leaderboards Firi will send a couple of guys out to your house to break your legs. Well there's your problem. Your nation has yet to discover the Shogun 15 of the top 20 in the US (including the top 14 scores) used the Shogun.
sounds like he could use a bit of a reality check. kids like this seem to have this vision of devs as fatcat industry suits who are financing their third Rolls Royce, and not the normal people most of them are. devs gotta eat, folks.
Haha Royce, the Shogun is a little beyond their skill levels I would imagine. I've only been able to manage a maximum score of 8.6mil with the Shogun myself. It's definitely the ship of choice for truly huge scores though.
User Madbrainz, who also posted a negative review on the app store, posted the details on his issue with Phoenix HD in the Bullet Hell group. (thanks for involving me tops2). There was indeed something wrong, so we spent some days investigating this issue. It wasn't very obvious, we first thought it had something to do with the mip-mapping, but in the end it was very specific! You can see the issue only on the difficulty stars in-game (not in the menus) while running Phoenix HD on an iPhone 3GS/4, iPod Touch 4th gen or iPad1. They appear to be more fuzzy than they used to be. The issue is a bit more complex than this (otherwise it would've been easier to find), but on the surface this is sort off what happened Now for something else. If you could build a player ship in Phoenix, what would you make?
