    I think we should take this to PM as we're clogging up the phoenix thread.

    Q about the IAP, is it device or account specific? i.e. if I buy it on my iphone 4 will I have to buy it again on my ipad 2?

    Did a first real attempt to play the new version (poor score of 700k so far from my 2.5M best) and I have to say this version is WAYYYY better!
    Great job guys!

    yeah, I've played about 30 games on the new HD build... and have only broke 2 million once... down from my 4 million high score in the latest version of the original build... =oP

    This HD version seems more balanced and like the difficulty keeps going up after 1 million... is it just my imagination... or did you guys make it that way?

    I found it easier till I broke the 500k then I felt somewhat more of a bullet hell!

    :D

    as with all IAPs (except for consumable IAPs, obviously) it's account-based. you may have to click the "buy" button again, but then it'll tell you that you've already bought that item, and it'll ask you if you'd like to download it again for free.

    one of the many perks of universal apps! if they were two different apps (one for iphone, one for ipad) then yeah, you'd have to buy them twice.

    Are some of the bullets 'magnetic'? It seems like they are just drifting aimlessly and as I get close to them change direction and hit me?

    I tried it at lunch, never having played a past version and, I don't know, seems pretty repetitive. You just get ship after ship. Is there anything more to it then that? Is there an end, or is this an endless type game?

    It is an endless game where every game is different as in randomised ... But I think itbmight be not of your taste as the basic idea is killing ship after ship!

    Don't know if this has been said already but it looks like the free with IAP model has proven successful, I just posted a near zero score to see how low the leaderboards went and I came in at 150k, so thats atleast 150000 people have bought the highscore pack. Obviously there is no way to determine how many IAP ships have been bought.

    I think that's because it shares leaderboards with the original phoenix
