Customer Reviews
Fantastic 2D shooter
If you like 2D shooters, you should definitely buy this game. The Warp mechanic (which lets you jump to top/bottom of the screen) is well used and allocating points to ship upgrades every 5 levels gives some additional, fun strategy. It's good on the iPhone and even better on an iPad. The controls do take a little getting use to, but then they work quite well. I prefer having the Warp be controlled with a button (as opposed to the default of tapping with 2 fingers). I do wish we could have a bit more control over the positioning of the buttons, but it works quite well as is. The main thing you have to get use to is the slider control for controlling your ship. That does take some practice, but not that much.
One complaint I have is that there is no way to get to Gamecenter leadersboards within the game. Instead we are stuck with Crystal in-game, even though the game does use Gamecenter too. I hope they will add the option of going to Gamecenter leaderboards in a future update.
new update
The new update is pretty nice for helping with the controls. I've played around with different control schemes a bit and still don't have the perfect layout, but it's closer. It would be nice to actually be able to drag the buttons around to where I want them.
Awesome!
Get it! Great game!
