Customer Reviews
Brilliant port of a great game
Space Tripper/Astro Tripper has been around on various platforms for about a decade now, and it's made the transition to iOS beautifully.
The tilt control is very precise and responsive, and you can adjust the sensitivity and center position to your liking. This is my preferred method of control on the iPhone, as I find the touch control much too cramped and fiddly on the small screen. The larger iPad screen is much better for touch control, though I'm still on the fence about which I like better.
Changing the game to use auto fire was also a good choice. I was skeptical at first, but I can assure you it doesn't make the game too easy. It will, however, prolong the life of the cartilage in your wrist. Anybody that has played the PS3 version at any length is no doubt familiar with the lingering pain.
If you're into old-fashioned arcade-style shooters that don't cajole you with in-app-purchase nonsense, this is a must buy.
AMAZING SHOOTER!
There's a ton of content here - 3 modes, 3 difficulties... awesome challenge. I really can't say how much I LOVE this game. The controls are perfect, and it gets your heart pumping (which almost never happens with iOS games...). THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH IT!!! THIS GAME IS SOOO AMAZING!
**update**
and now there's no reason not to snag this one, added relative touch controls!!!
