    See, I think other games have done that, but this is the one that nails it in all the right ways.

    Dank memes and making fun of celebs, what more could one want? I love all the references!

    What a quick fix and a superb game! I deleted 300+ people off of GC.

    Great game! Loving it so far, but how do you earn cards? I got one but it felt like it was random. Am I missing something?

    This is amazing. No game center crashes here. I'm also running iOS9. Top Notch.

    I find it quite amusing that some people are complaining about the fact that you're shooting parody versions of celebrities. That's the entire premise of the game: You're Shooting...Stars!

    Lol. That's what I love about this game is the parodies. It's what keeps me playing, to see who's gonna pop out next. Not to mention, it's a great shooter in itself.

    Definitely a great game and I give my stamp of approval on it. It's worth every penny.

    Need Beta Tester for GC Bug!

    Hey TA'ers,

    We think we might have isolated the Game Center bug. It actually seems like more of a Unity issue than GC but in any case, we need a willing participant who either bought the game and it crashes for, or has a ton of GC friends and is waiting to buy the game once it is fixed. Please PM and if you havent bought the game yet, we will toss you a code for your help.

    Thanks so much and for all your patience!

    Daily Run

    Hey everyone! Need your help here. We have been discussing changing the Daily Run to a one time only run versus allowing players to do it an unlimited amount of times each day. My question to you is, what would you rather see?

    1 - One Daily Run
    2 - Unlimited Daily Runs

    Thanks everyone!

    How about daily runs limited to three tries with only the last try counting?
    That way one can gamble if one tries to better a run or maybe end up with a worse score. I really like this system in Midnight Star and think the daily runs should be limited somehow.

    That's definitely an interesting idea! Personally, I like the unlimited retries.

    @Ryan_Noodle Are the cards just for collecting, or do they buff your character in some way?

    I like the current idea more, of unlimited tries at a specific run.
    And in a way, we already have "one try" against any random run we do in the main mode. It's always different.

    If you change it, why not make the "change" a separate mode instead? Everyone wins.

    Sad to see the TA review. The game is an easy 5/5 for me.

    As for the dailies, maybe having two seeded modes might be better. One for unlimited and one for single.

    Don't let that TA review get to you, the game is great. I like the unlimited retries but if you changed it to single that would be fine too. I'm just glad you have the daily run in there at all.
    A single try would certainly up the pressure, I guess that would be like what Card Crawl does.

    Well, glad to see I'm not the only one thinking this.

    This Shooting Stars was my first credited Beta and I couldn't have been prouder to have been part of it.
    Almost certain it was going to be 5 stars, they left it to Carter Dotson to review it, and it's like the guy barely even touched the game before pinching one out over it.
    He completely ignored all of the effort went into making it, pretty much saying "it's too easy, and I don't get the references. They're not mocking enough"

    WTF? It was never meant to be a harsh critique of celebrity! It was a fun poke!

    Hey Ryan. If possible, could you keep it to unlimited. I'd feel that any restrictions on tries might cut the overall experience somewhat. There's one way you could counter this. What about a token system?

    Start with 5 tokens (or something) to do a daily run, then have additional as a drop item or reward per Card Hunt match?

    Just an idea.
