These threads exist to push worthy games into the spotlight. Anyone who would overlook this game is obviously conformist scum!
Alright, thanks! Curious what this bigger fish is, but thanks for your diligence and coolness! I really appreciate it!
They'd rather write articles about the latest free to play game and how to spend as little money playing it, it seems... But in their defense, with so many games that come out from week to week it is easy to overlook a game or three. It's just a shame it seems more often than not that they skip over these kind of gems when articles as above can be given a back burner, at least in my opinion. On topic: what is the secret to getting the Hammer Layout? Getting 25 kills with no weapons (I assume only spikes) seems impossible with any of the ships I have. Also, can the ball and chains be used in that achievement?
Ball and chains are definitely the way to go for that achievement. Sorry for the vague wording. Anything resembling a 'gun' is disallowed (turrets, freeze rays, lasers, missiles, etc).
And don't use red. Green's good if you have balls or stick to blue if you only have spikes because the shield gets in the way. If you don't have many engines yet, use blue so you're agile. I recommend more hull than shields but use a shield generator if you have it.
Thanks guys! Got 39 kills on my third try after loading up spikes and 5 ball and chains to my Friend Ship layout! Onward to getting the Rotten Core, Crab, Heart of Gold and Anarkist blueprint! Edit: rotten gotten!
Wow, this game is amazing! I had held off on buying due to several reviews complaining about the controls, I am enjoying everything about this game.
Poll's open to vote for the TA forums game of the week! http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=212393
Thanks Echoen. We're currently tied with GTA for first, it would be amazing if we could beat out a game with that kind of marketing/history behind it! Everyone please vote, assuming of course that you liked the game.
Heh, for anyone who struggles with the controls... Welcome to physics. I think they are just perfect. This game is Lunar Lander on crack. (I mean that in a good way, of course!)
It would be impressive if starborn anarkist beat out gta! Go vote for it in the gotw thread here! http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=212393&page=8
Now that's nice sizable lead in the GOTW poll. I was wondered that the game wouldn't get the votes it deserved going up against GTA SA, but nice to see Starborn dominating this week
This also lays proof to the counter argument against some folks on the Game of the Year forum, requesting that ports be excluded from the votes since they had some perceived advantage. The fact that this is doing so well and ahead of GTA San Andreas is proof that (as I argued) iOS original games can stand on their own without being given a crutch and even compete if the game is good enough... I know I bought and love San Andreas but this game has kept me up until the wee hours of the morning, when I know I have to be up early, several nights in a row because I just can't put it down! That's why it got my vote!
Aside from winning the GOTW poll, the game has a lot of love shown here... maybe I overlooked it, buying now.
