    WOAH WOAH WOAH, those bosses/elevators levels!!!!

    This is too awesome.
    I've lost sensibility of my right thumb due to too much playing...second 'world' is fantastic.

    Fans of action games, bullet hell (wait till you see those nasty green slimes), shooters....be sure to get this.
    Oozes polish at every screen.

    I'll probably sleep tonight with those scientist screams stuck in my mind.

    Some notes for the dev, minor but stil....

    1) You already sync via GC, but just scores.
    It would be cool if the unlocked levels and upgraded weapons/earnt gold coins could sync between devices too.
    So we can play on iPad while the iPhone recharges :p

    2) Controls are perfect now after playing further, but probably an option for slighly spaced out direction arrows could be cool.

    3) The buttons YES/NO when you press retry are a bit small.
    Personally I would get rid of them altogether...when my combo breaks and I'm trying to beat a friend score...I want to restart the level as fast as possibile :p (Maybe a long press on retry instead of a confirmation screen?)

    As I said, very minor things...game is triple A polished.
    Looking forward all your future titles since now onwards.

    Didn't have time to post earlier as was too busy playing. Nothing new to add that hasn't already been said....controls, gameplay, upgrades, everything about this game rocks.

    Oh...and the music. I had to play on mute last night as wife was getting annoyed (to lazy to get up and get my headphones) but when I played on the train this am.... totally makes the experience complete.

    Well done!

    Wow I've only played for a few minutes but I had to come back and say just press the damn buy button!

    I am LOVING this game! Everything is done so well. The controls and gameplay are awesome!!

    Ok going back to play. This is a 5 star experience.

    OK, this game is the perfect excuse to finally get a MFI controller! What should I get, to use primarily with my iPhone?

    Much thanks, Anthony. :)

    Just for clarification, that's 200 MBs installed, right? The iOS version is a ~ 200 MB download which turns into 700 MBs installed.

    I own Pang Adventures but somehow just don't like it at all. But this...is....just.....AWESOME.
    My only nitpick will be an easier way to access the upgrade screen, feel so indirect now after every match or maybe I have missed something? And the arrows, seems too small or too far left on the screen.
    Great game and beautiful art! Just wish the dev make good money on this game:)

    Buy Zip Zap by Kamibox. ;) Most in-game GC buttons only allow you to see leaderboards/cheevos for that specific game but the GC button in Zip Zap opens at the main GC bit where you can add friends, send challenges and whatnot. I'm on iOS 9 but don't see why it should be any different for iOS 10 users.

    Sorry for off topic. :)

    Won't work since with iOS 10 the button in Zip Zap doesn't open anything.

    Wow thanks for the awesome response so far everyone! Just to let you know we do have a some tweaks coming to play a little bit with the UI in terms of smaller text and button placements. There is a lot to cram on the screen at any given time so it is a bit of a balancing act. Stay tuned and keep butchin!
