Bobostein, Just out of curiosity, what's your top 5 in space shooters? (across all platforms). And which ones were used as inspiration?
Hi Prodigy_BE, Good question! Here's my list in random order: Rtype Gradius V Ikaruga Dodonpachi Power Strike Might be a bit retro for some but there you go I tried not to copy any game for Touch Force to keep it a unique experience for the user. In terms of inspiration, the idea was to keep the game playable and keep the user feeling in control like in all classics. Cheers,
I'm old, just like you (an indie-dev too, actually), so the retro thing is a plus. too many games require absolutely no skill these days. And there's few greater experiences than really mastering a game. Finishing Super Ghosts & Goblins with 1 life, and stuff like that I'll give it a go, once it's out.
Touch Force is an addition to the shooter em up genre so hopefully you will find it fresh If you can complete Super Ghosts Goblins with 1 life then that would rank you No.2 in the world since i only know only 1 other guy who can do that
Looks like the ships disappear when your fingers leave the screen. Sort of a variation on Phoenix hd's phantom. I hope the graphics and models are detailed; I couldn't see that in the vid.
Hi Max, should be out this week. It's free to play until you defeat the first boss and 1 inapp purchase to unlock the full game which enables unlocking of boss mode. Cheers
Hi,Touch Force controls are very unique but still take nothing away from the genre yes the video does suffer from some compression issues the game should be out this week hopefully. It's free to play with one inapp purchase. Cheers,

Can I just say holy s***! I'm a huge shoot'em up/bullet hell fan and this game is really fun and adds a new mechanic I can honestly say I've never seen before. And a full unlock for only $.99 cents. No ads. No energy timers. Just fun! Thank you devs. I put a nice review on the AppStore. Someone needs to move this to the iPhone/iPad section with the appropriate app info and the button. Really awesome job. I hope you guys are successful and add more content and maybe an endless score chasing mode. I'd pay another iap for it. Billy
Hi LordShad0wz/Billy Glad you like it! hopefully the update will be out by next week, then you can enjoy the new graphics, new enemies and the 5th/Final Boss! The current version on the Appstore doesn't compare to what's coming next Btw, I'm the developer of this game Cheers, www.superstargames.co.uk
