Press Reviews:

"The game’s visuals are, quite simply, awesome. Each planet is highly detailed and every weapon and explosion is a dazzling treat of lighting and particle effects.

"This is a fantastic twin-stick shooter, both in its free and paid versions, and if you have any kind of love for the genre then it cannot be resisted.

Customer Feedback:

"The graphics are beautiful, and the lighting fantastic, on the new iPad this is a gem."

"All in all the game is a little diamond and for sure, great eye candy! The unlock price makes this game a steal."

"The gameplay is like things you've played, and yet not really like anything you've played. It's hard to explain, which is frankly a very good thing!"

"The arcade mode is one of the nicest shoot'em'up style games I've played in a while."

"This game offers a true and very enjoyable arcade experience with drop dead eye popping graphics that you'll drool over. Awesome fun!"

Desperately needs gamepad support
$1K Master

This game would be so much more enjoyable if it worked with my gamepad. A version for the Apple TV would be awesome also.


Beautiful, fun, addictive
AppLord

One of the few games I've found that will hold my attention. Get better as you play, beat your scores, earn achievements. Great game!


Awesome :)
ChristofferX

Tons of fun. Will appeal to many, really love how I can just pick it up any time and play. Great for casual gamers like myself.


Great after a little of getting used to
Master Ill

Like the title says, the controls are a bit tricky at first but then you do get used to it and its very intuitive. Don't let that stop you in the beginning. Just keep trying and after a few levels you'll be good to go. Other than that, the game looks great, the weapons and levels are fun. I do have to stress again, it looks amazing!


Great action
Nickelstar

After playing my mentally intensive games, I love hoping on this one for pure adrenaline and challenge. The controls meld with my mind for an arcade blowout adventure. I loves me some Darkside.

Great fun, incredible graphics. Joypad support!
Gr4yman

The graphics on this game are fantastic. The gameplay is one of the best of any arcade style game for the iPad. An amazing recent change was the addition of joypad support. The ability to use an iPod or iPhone as the controller is incredible and makes the game a pleasure to play.
