    Thanks Limelight for the awesome gameplay video! :)

    I haven't seen that black screen problem, though... :/ All I can suggest is to reinstall the game and reboot the phone?


    Hulkino, thanks! :)


    Billy, the shard magnet idea is good. :) I'll consider it in the next updates, but won't expand the current update I'm working on.

    The shield powerup makes you invincible for a period of time. Here are the lengths of it on each level (seconds):
    5, 5.7, 6.45, 7.25, 8.1, 9, 9.95, 10.95, 12, 13.1, 14.25, 15.45, 16.7, 18, 19.35

    I suggest using the shield and the Wall of Fire (destroys almost everything, including meteors) together. It makes that kind of scenarios a lot easier. When you run out of the shield, use the firewall. Basically the outcome is the same: there is nothing in front of you that you can collide with.

    Also thanks for your continuous support, Billy. :)

    I made it to where I could see the effing base and died lol. I'll get it today if it kills me lol.

    And I'm glad to support. Also I'm happy you'll put in the magnet in future releases. I knew that wouldn't be something you could do quickly. I just thought it would be a nice feature.

    I can't wait for your next update!

    Good news, I'm already almost done with the update. :cool:

    The update will very likely be out on the 5th of May!

    I'll post a sneak peek video of the new galaxy as soon as I'm done with the update. The new galaxy has a higher speed than all the others (except Speed of Light), so it's a little more arcade-y. :)

    I still haven't beaten mission 4. Let me ask. For the next galaxies do they unlock once you beat the last mission it do you still have to pay the coins to unlock them?

    I can't wait for the update. Man may seems so far away. Just hit the release button when it's approved! Lol

    I wish I could just hit the release button when it's out! But the thing is that those Apple featuring slots are to die for, and they recommend having at least 3 weeks notice before anything goes live, so they have enough time to prepare for all the thousands of submissions.

    The levels still cost coins (or shards :) ) even after you've finished it. It would be a bit too generous to give all levels for free I'm afraid. I've been playing around with the Shard Doubler now and the boost makes quite a big of a difference. It affects not only the collected shards, but also the ones you get by destroying obstacles.

    No that's fine I was just wondering. Since I've been stuck on 4 I was going to unlock the next one but if it unlocked after finishing 4 I'd rather save the shards for upgrades.

    I'm absolutely fine with you charging shards to unlock the next set. I just wanted to make sure.

    Cool, thanks. :) The update will actually make most of the galaxies a little easier, and especially the 4th one (Nebulae) since it is extremely hard.

    Woo hoo

    You did EXACTLY what I hoped for. I purchased the double shards and the no ads to continue. Well worth the $4 total. It makes it a full game now.

    Also I'm absolutely glad you added new ad networking. For some reason I can no longer view ads from unity. So I haven't been able to watch ads in your game in weeks. Now I can again. They work like a charm.

    Well done. You've earned my money. It's a really fun game.

    I agree with Billy. I was apprehensive at first but this game is a lot of fun and the price model is extremely fair. I enjoy upgrading the ship, regular weapons, and power ups. Definitely addictive!

    This is a great idea. Will surely keep me playing longer with that option. I loved Monkeyrama!

    This game is instantly fun. Surprised I didn't notice it earlier. Happy the option for IAP to remove the ads is here in time for me. Very fun and addicting. :)

    Super glad to hear you guys like it! :)

    Billy, since you were pretty much the only to make feature requests, I just took whatever you said and implemented it in the game. :D

    Oh, by the way, does Game Center work for you guys? For some reason it doesn't open on my iPhone anymore even though it used to with the same build...

    Gamecenter has been broken for months for me and many many others. There are many threads about it. Apparently the next beta build finally might fix it. It's been broken since last September.
