Well...it had to happen eventually. I feel mislead. After booting this game up for all if 5 minutes, I deleted it shortly after. The screen shots are highly misleading of the end product. For all of the sharp artwork, the game itself is ugly. The UI is a garbled mess, the obvious plugging for more money in a paid game is off putting and the controls of the actual game are sluggish and joyless. I would have felt less cheated if this was F2P, but considering there was money up front for this, the end result under delivered. Give this a wide berth.
I hyped myself a bit on this one, pity. Here is so much that i could enjoy, from the art work, the pixels, the unlockable missions/planets and yes, the gameplay, too. Unfortunately, both control methods don't deliver satisfaction. The lane swiping all across the screen is beyond really doable, and the left/right tapping isn't responsive and gets a wrong up/down input to easily. The music is an "each to his own" matter. To say it mildly: i'm glad i could buy (with in-game coins) Red's Epicata, a great and fitting soundtrack. Everything else is simply not fitting a sci-fi game. Really. For my little time being and clearing five missions, i earned enough coins. So imho, it feels balanced and no need for any iap, only if you wish to speed up things. I'm always ok with this kind of iap. Since i watched the upcoming thread and saw some screenshots and a video (or was it on PG?), i absolutely knew what art style i was dealing with. Therefor and personally, absolutely no misleading for me. It was mentioned here somewhere, if they would offer a relative touch control option, where i could leave my finger on screen to steer my pilot, i could see me spend some time again. PS: some Devs seem not to (exactly) know about relative touch controls. Please check out a free version of a Cave's shmup...
Just saw that this game was updated, I held off on purchasing, because of the complaints on here- has this game improved with the update?
