A complete bargain, with a ton of polish.

I'm seriously blown away by how much there is to this game. It's like a cross between Geometry Wars and Osmos, but maybe that's a lie. It's completely unique, and looks and sounds great. And it's universal!! I love this game! :D Hah, what a gushing. :D

Ol' Kooistra hits again HARD with Second Wave. Everything that made the original great is back tenfold, with all kinds of new gameplay in tow. Don't hesitate to grab this now.
Great Improvement

The first blue defense was one of the first apps if not the first one I purchased on the app store. This continuation adds far more content and gameplay value over the original. If you haven't played the original and you're a fan of shooters, you should definitely give this a try. For anyone who played the first blue defense, get this now!
Fantastic and beautiful

Slick use of multitouch make this beautiful shooter a bargain even at $5...I nabbed it for $1. And it's universal
Unexpected

You can't tell much by just looking at the screenshots, other than the obvious quality. The gameplay is wonderful - both smooth and fast paced. Making it universal is another added bonus! A great game, and for $0.99 it's an absolute bargain.

This should win some kind of award. The quality... The detail... The depth... Simply amazing... Nice update to Blue Defense. Now what about a sequel to Blue Attack? I love this universe and graphic style. Nice work John. Keep it up! P.S. Why is Blue Attack not in the App Store anymore? I was hoping to play it again on my iPhone 4...
Buy it Now!

I came across this game by a review in Touch Arcade. They talked about how great the first one was, and after viewing the trailer for this I was just blown away. This has the best music of any iPhone game i've ever played. Being responsible for 6.8 billion lives on earth is actually a bit intimidating, but it adds to the pressure of saving the blue planet called earth from hundreds of red and green little aliens! It has many different game modes, which keeps things interesting. You can play a survive till you die type of game, choose your own level,or compete for awards. It also has it's own strategy on how to deal with certain aliens as well! While i'm not very good yet, i'm sure i'll be keeping this as one of my favorites games on the iPhone.
