    That's whty I call it "freetoplayish". Card drop chanceis too small, one must grind, and that's boring. New levels will do.

    It's the final card, mate! once you obtain it, you automatically get this.

    Happy hunting.

    So when is the update adding Nightmare mode coming for iOS ? Is it waiting Apple's approval ?

    Almost :)
    The Android update was sort of a soft-launch for the Nightmare difficulty. We've adjusted its balance a bit, extended some parts of the equipment (not saying which ones ;-) and will be uploading the binary soon.

    While we all wait for the iOS update, I'd like to give you a hint of what else we're working on right now. The cards use some of our concept art as their faces. We've got images of the characters, the player, the enemies. One of these cards doesn't quite fit anything you've seen in the game. So far :) Any guesses which card is it? What would you wish for it to be in the game?
    I'll post some more details soon, unless no one's interested ;-)

    Best regards,
    Peter,
    Infinite Dreams.

    I'm VERY interested! I've been looking through the cards trying to figure out what's different or out of place but I'm not seeing much. Maybe card #21 or 22? I'll have to keep looking...

    Okay, I think I have a solid guess on the new thing but I'll keep quiet so other people can have fun trying to figure it out. Oh, and I can't wait for the new weapon upgrade level(s) and nightmare difficulty!

    Is it card 9?

    This means it's not been submitted for approval yet, right? How long does it typically take?

    Would it be unfair to say that this game is probably the most popular title for the year?

    It's basically been on Touch Arcade's hot games list since it's release, out lasting Wayward Souls, Battleheart Legacy and Oceanhorn.

    Infinite Dreams can be very proud of this title, keeping it relevant since launch.

    Just an opinion but I reckon not far from the truth.

    Still pissed it only got 4.5 stars in the review

    I was thinking that too. I don't recall seeing anything like that in the game.

    It would be totally fair in my opinion. Great replay value too #

    This is probably going to be my Game of the Year. I always have fun playing it. It's frustrating sometimes (Stage 8 Insane), but always fun. Probably played this more than any other game this year so far.

    I am probably in the minority, but the lack of card drops has taken me from playing this game in most of my free time to rarely played. I think the basics of the game are great, but grinding hour after hour for the "valuable" card drop just isn't worth it to me anymore. I was initially excited about them, and it seemed that drops were reasonble, the came the fix, and the drops are mostly non existent. I tried to continue, but the time spent is frustrating rather than fun. Seems the majority of posters in this forum got most / all the cards prior to the fis so it carried over.

    @PeterID - I can understand a bit of your rationale about the "value" of cards, but I don't agree with it. PM me if you ever make the drop rate improved. I'd love to have a reason to pick the game back up. I don't have the eye hand coordination anymore for high scores, so my goals come from full upgrades, cards, level completion. Anyways, great game but I'm bowing out.

    This is exactly the problem with the current drop rate.
    When you max your upgrades, there is little incentive to continue playing, and card grinding is frustratingly slow.

    Maybe the drop rate should be raised greatly once you are at max upgrade.

    Or add a daily bonus card in a random level, by marking that level with a card.
    There are 46 cards to get (some of them stack up), so this will take a lot of time anyway.

    I have to agree on the bit about the card drop. It got frustrating and boring for me trying to replay levels just to try and get more cards. Maybe if there were more weapons to upgrade and stars to grind...

    Thanks, Sabaki! We're super happy about it too. Even more every time Sky Force makes it back to the list :)

    Card 09 is the one! No zombies, sorry.
    Sky Force 2014 will soon become even cooler, than it already is ;-)
    We're taking the fight to a winter landscape, here's a peek:

    Please keep in mind this is a work-in-progress screenshot. No enemies yet, just a monumental scenery.

    After a short debate we've also agreed (between ourselves) to boost the drop rate for golden cards. While the drop rate for the normal ones will not change, once you get all of them, the golden ones should drop more often than they do now.

    Best regards,
    Peter,
    Infinite Dreams.

    The drop rate card on stage 6 is good, i catch all of them on this.
    Peter, up the star at x4 for Nightmare, it too difficult without this. i can't finish a stage without buying power-ups :( .
    I'm so excited to try the new stage, work fast plzz :D
