Grr....dev's promised a 6 month price guarantee. Bought it on the basis of that, oh well it is a great game. Too bad that they couldn't keep their word though.
i somewhat agree. but looking at it more open-mindedly, i realize that it is a great game. plus, more sales = more updates and possibly a sequel. it is well worth the 5 dollars and venan could not have prophesied the poor amount of sales at the 5 dollar mark. even though i barely played it since i got it last week (tons of hw to do), i know that my money went to the right people and the game is well worth that.
Just throwing this out there for discussion, How about a survival mode? Where you could use the ore you get to upgrade (pause the game to go the the shop)....Whaddya think?
Not disappointed at all in the recent price drop, I damn sure got more than my $5 worth of fun out of this kick-ass game Most games aren't worth $5, but this one is well worth that price.
I'm getting flamed in the comments on Pocket Gamers review of this game for suggesting it's worth more than an 8/10 ! The reviewer is saying the controls are broken and that there are imbalances in the gameplay. He actually refers to the game as 'unrefined ore' ! I find this to be one of the most polished and refined titles on the AppStore. For me Pocket Gamer has lost all their credability with recent reviews being way off the mark. I'm on my second playthrough and it's an amazing addictive classic game imo
Finished the game in only 2 days The fastest finished game ive every played. Took me 6 hours first time . It's the third game i've every finished that has a storyline lol. I really want Venan to make the campaign a little longer, have more upgrades and just make the whole gaming experience even better! Hoping for some updates!
I looked at that review this morning, what a JOKE, they only give this a silver when some of the sh*t they review get gold awards! the controls are superb in this game, I have not had ANY issues at all with them and i'm usually the first to moan about controls in games! Pocket Gamer = EPIC FAIL
This game deserves to be at the number one position!! Absolutly the best game ever for the iphone and even better then most pc games
The reviewer obviously either did not know how to control the ship or he's in the very early stage of the story where he purchased a cargo ship and still using the slow engine. If it's the latter, then I would advise him immediately upgrade the engine because a cargo ship without enough thrust from the engine is almosy impossible to be controlled. Try to use the best ship in the game and the slowest engine, see if u can dodge enemy's fire or asteroids AT ALL! He needs to play more. I know how to beat hardcore final boss without any problem, good maneuvering the ship is the key. I say the ship control in this game is perfect and realistic.
It's the same with any new game - it will introduce a new control system that naturally takes a little time to adjust to. When I first started I was, admittedly, a little off-balance, but a short time later it became so second nature to me and with engine upgrades, control is no issue what-so-ever. And that final boss - hah, give me the drill any time..
Great game! The controls are awesome. Take a slight bit to get used to but once I did, they freakin rocked. Loved it, playing through on hard now. Normal was a blast.
