Like the small file size too! Anotherkellydown likes this. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,126 703 113 #4 anthony78, Jul 17, 2019 This game is fantastic. Probably one of the best shmups I’ve played on iOS in ages. Only issue is that while it’s full screen on iPhone X, it needs some work. Some text is cut of on the corners and by the notch. Also think the pause button is cut off because I can’t find it even though the game itself mentions the pause menu. The gameplay itself is very well done. Kind of a mix of old school games like Galaga and a non-dual stick version of Geometry Wars. Probably my only other wish was if it could be portait. But amazing first release by this dev. Jackaluk Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2015 401 94 28 #5 Jackaluk, Jul 18, 2019 Can anyone confirm if it has controller support? yotryu New Member Jul 27, 2019 3 1 3 Male #6 yotryu, Jul 27, 2019 Thank you so much for the kind words! Admittedly I haven't thoroughly tested the game on iPhone X, but hearing there are some problems makes me keen to give it a closer look and hopefully address any issues, so thank you for mentioning the issues! yotryu New Member Jul 27, 2019 3 1 3 Male #7 yotryu, Jul 27, 2019 Unfortunately there isn't proper controller support for the game... yet. I've had this planned since the beginning pretty much, and am about to start getting the game working fully with controllers. Hopefully I can get this into the next update, but if not, it'll be the one following - I'm currently trying to get an update out each week with extra content / balancing / improvements, so if all goes to plan I hope to have controller support out within 2 weeks! Thanks for asking to confirm! yotryu New Member Jul 27, 2019 3 1 3 Male #8 yotryu, Jul 27, 2019 My apologies for the late replies to you guys - I was only just made aware of this thread today! I'm the developer of Starazius, so if you have any questions, feedback, suggestions, or any other comments, please don't hesitate to reach out and I'll do my best to respond! Also, thanks for showing interest in the game! It means so much to me to see even a handful of people giving it a look and trying it out! Anotherkellydown likes this.
