Been a long time since I returned! Haven't been playing this game for quite a while, some other games were keeping me busy and I'm getting busier by day. Personally, I also think Trinity is the best. I just love manipulating time. Though I survive the longest with it (Mainly due to time slowing), so I don't play it too often unless I'll be at the game for a while. I'm not very good at Shogun but seems like I personally love it due to its unique but difficult grazing techniques. Well, Shogun games tend to be shorter for me too anyway. Perhaps that might come second for me. Mirage and Corsair comes in third for me. Love the homing abilities making games a little easier since dodging can be of higher priority. Mirage's nightfury laser is awesome too, but somehow I pretty like Corsair as well. I don't really like the Phantom though, since it makes me feel a bit too fragile and afraid. I tend to take hits early on for every ship, so the game can end pretty early for me using Phantom. I don't see much point in playing Phoenix when I can play ships that costs real money. Seriously, I rather maximize my money well spent. Anyway, Phoenix is too standard and its weapons are usually pretty similar to many other shmups.
Damn right it is. I'm still hoping for a stage four Nightfury laser. I've even thought of a name for it: The Oblivion Blast. A super short, extremely powerful shot; a real cherry on the topping for being able to keep the Nightfury on for that length of time.
Hey guys! Last week Phoenix HD turned 2, OMG! Time flies. And the game still looks amazing, how awesome is that About one year ago we released Phoenix HD 2.0, we introduced the new split leaderboards and reset all the scores. Since this reset over 2 million players have set a score across the world and together you played over 100 million games... in 1 year! /feint You guys are so awesome. <3 I believe there is a bug in the country and continent achievements, as far as I know the sapphire achievement should work? To test this, please go to 'your scores' in the main menu and use the zoom controls to go to the level where you have the sapphire medal (double check by tapping the pin). If the achievement isn't awarded when the pin shows a sapphire medal, please let me know (either post here or at [email protected]). We can't award you the achievement directly, but we're looking to fix them "soon". Thanks! The special offer is listed in the Armory, where you can buy coins. It is only available if you haven't bought any ships as it includes all of them. Regarding the ships, you can already see that everyone has his own preference. In short: -The Corsair and Mirage play very straight forward and have a special ability that compliments their arsenal. These 2 are the closest to the original Phoenix in terms of gameplay. -The Trinity is a ship with a lot of unique abilities and is very accessible to play. -The Shogun requires grazing to attack enemies. Grazing is a mechanic traditionally found in japanese shmups and involves flying close to enemy bullets, so close they almost hit you. -The Phantom is a ship that is destroyed in just 1 hit (while the others all have a health bar) but it also sports more fire power and has several survival abilities. -The Shogun and Phantom both require more skill to play than the others. I'll leave the more detailed descriptions to the players Be sure to check the videos of every ship, they can be accessed in the ship selection screen by tapping the video icon. That's actually a pretty cool idea. Noted.
My favorites are in this order, starting from my most favorite: Shogun Trinity Phantom Phoenix Mirage Corsair My reasoning is that i like the first four most especially because each one is essentially a different game on their own. I still love the mirage and the corsair though, because of subtle changes, but they are basically just Phantom and Phoenix variants respectively. Or rather, in the case of Phantom, Phantom is just a variant of Mirage, but one that i prefer over the beaminator.
That is absolutely BRILLIANT. I brought it up before, but I'm sure it got lost in my myriad of other suggestions. Equally brilliant.
It does not look or feel like a two year old game at all. I think this game will look perpetually fresh no matter the age. Definitely think it's t-shirt time for the two year anniversary. You should make the shirt with a picture of Tijmen the Invisible and just send out plain white shirts. LOL!!!
LOL... yeah.. wanted to use the circle with the diagonal stripes on the game's main splash screen, but didnt have time to screenshot and do something with it. Plus, i knew it wont be a concept you'd pick, since it's Shogun-biased, and you made everything equally great. And it's too colorful to be the game's vibe
It worked! Thanks for the advice! ^_^ hope you manage to fix it, and congratulations on the downloads! Holy crumbs, mines almost exactly the opposite order! X_x Shogun is my favourite as it gives me the most in depth experience, giving you an out to all situations, but without making it easy Phantom, I just love the phantom so much. Quicker games, fastee accumilation of money, but most importantly it improved how good I was at other Bullet hell games too! Okay, I'm biased eheh, but yeah Phoenix when I first started the game I really loved playing the Phoenix for ages and its the ship for which your positioning affects damage output the most (it's got such a spread and few lock on weapons that I feel that way) also the ginormous leader board is a big plus Corsair is very cool, I used to dislike it but I'm warming up to it. Now I'm getting the grips of how best to use the lock on to maximise damage, I'm not sucking! Trinity is very low down for me, as I could get really into it, but it really simplifies the most complicated patterns, especially with the defence drone so I find it simplifies the game. Also the fire when teleporting is pretty cool, but I feel I'm failing if I don't use it every second to maximise score, making getting an ordinary score a very slow process Mirage I used to love this ship, much more than the corsair! But as it has probably been pointed out, past 3mil the Lazer is rarely useful. Biggest problem is scout waves though, as killing them doesnt destroy their bullets.However it is still a lock on ship, and it makes using certain power ups such as the shield much better!
Maybe... Nah, just kidding. You're game is awesome. Congrats on the 2 year anniversary! I wasn't even a member of TA back then, pretty close to when I first got into ios gaming by buying an iphone 4. And if you ever make a tshirt like the other guys here are talking about, send me one so I can use it as my icade joystick holder and cleaner.
Yeah like I said there really is no right or wrong answer. I am a big 'traditional' Phoenix fan, which would include the Phoenix, Corsair and Mirage, back when there was only the Phoenix, Corsair and Mirage. I prefer how these ships have multiple stages of upgrading, which is mostly limited (Phantom) or absent (Shogun) with the latter three ships. The more power-ups, the more random paths your ship can take to becoming fully upgraded, and I enjoy watching that happen for purposes of immersion. But really, every ship is great regardless of this fact, and you can't go wrong with buying any of them, which is what is most important for anyone coming into this game for the first time.
I wish there was a 'Thanks' button on this forum, so that way I wouldn't have to quote you and type all of this just to thank you
