    Completely agree. :D

    Bought it on day one for the full price, played it every day since. Venan have made quite an impact with their debut application.

    Where's that sequel??? :p

    Very true! Although, I expect to see reference to that $3 in the credits of their next game! :D

    Amazing deal for $2, I was already happy with it at $5.

    Buy it folks, get this one up there so we can get these guys to make more! :)

    I thought I remembered reading there wouldn't be a sale. I would have held off longer, oh well. Still a great game though.

    As far as I know, the developer never promised that there wouldn't be a sale -- someone in the thread speculated that there wouldn't be one.

    Oh well.

    Sigh,

    Of course I purchased it yesterday.

    Either way...

    This is one of the better games I have played for my Ipod. I believe you've put together a real masterpiece here. I look forward to more games built on the same premise. I think it's money very well spent. At $1.99 you would have to be crazy not to pick it up.

    I agree with those who support the continued health of this developer. I look forward to the next release. Any hints on what your working on?

    Same here! I was trying to back off of buying so many games, but I was seriously thinking about getting this one anyway. At $1.99 I can't resist! :) Downloading now. Thanks for the sale!

    Yeah, I just bought it for 5 bucks. Bah. It was worth it anyway.

    I've got an excess of cash at this point though - they should make like hook champ and let me buy an absurd amount of aesthetic-only upgrades. If I could pimp out my ship to look like a giant sandwich or demon (and save up to three ships at once), this game would have crazy replay value. As is, it's still awesome.

    yeah nice idea
    I'm a huge HC fan and that really boosts replay
    I don't know about sales but replay definitely
     
  13. Holy crap this is a great game, reminds me of old PC titles back in the 90's. I'm hooked.

    Next installment should be more like "Privateer". A huge open ended mission based game where you're either a shipper, bandit, or patroller

    Almost 50 hours of game play, I certainly had my money's worth on this game. Too bad there is no endless/infinite map where I can keep playing after completing every awards, getting myself on top 2 of the leaderboard, aquire all 24 alien techs, completing hardcore twice, etc, etc. There's nothing left for me to do in this game. Playing Doom II RPG now.

    P.S: Where's all the reviews? A glitch after price drop?

    That's not a bad idea. I would love to be able to purchase new hull designs -- nothing with new capabilities, just variations on the same existing models.

    Actually, that sound like a good use of DLC: I wouldn't mind paying a couple of bucks for a "hull pack" with a bunch of crazy designs.

    Note to dev: Please use this game engine to make a copy of Armada! (4-player would be most welcome as well!)
