Evacuation

Evacuation is a game of strategy, quick wits, and explosive decompression!

Aliens have invaded your cargo hold, and the only way to get rid of them is to vent them into space! But try not to airlock too many of the crew - they aren't insured!

Tap the doors to open and close them, or tap the floors to place a flag for your crew to rally around.

If you accidentally evacuate the captain, it's game over - he's also the pilot.

If you lose all your crew, it's game over too - when you have no crew, no one can hear you scream...

Fun!

This game is really cool, I dig the mechanics and the pixel art. My only gripe is that sometimes it misreads where I tap and places the flag instead of opening the door (or vice versa). Consider adding a "Campaign Mode" where the levels aren't randomized. Cool stuff guys!

Needs Improvement

Great concept but the controls are horrible and really need work. Half the time, the game isn't precisely recognizing where I'm tapping.

Great concept saddled with a poor control scheme in v1.0

Neat idea, with a nice old school look. Unfortunately, the controls are vague to the point of frustration - I can't tell you how many times I've tapped to place the flag and opened a door instead, sending my whole crew to their doom, and that's nothing compared to the number of times I've tried in vain to get a door to open, only to continually place the flag where I don't want it. If the developers can get the controls fixed, this will be a great little game, but as it is, it's bound to frustrate more than anything.

Love the web game, iPhone version needs work

Like others have said it is a great web game and I think it translates to the iPhone great. The only issue is that I can't do the same open and close timing to get rid of aliens without losing people. They really need to fix the responsiveness of the touch controls for it to be a good game.

Controls in 1.01 are spot on!

Excellent pick up and play game, I haven't noticed any of the touch detection issues that seemed to plague the original version. The only major addition I would want is a save upon exit feature. I hope this game gains some recognition, with some minor updates/polish (difficulty modes limiting complexity of puzzles?) it could really stand out.

Great game

I saw a review for this game in Play Magazine and figured I should check it out. The game is well designed and a lot of fun. This is a really great action/puzzle title. The random levels keep you coming back (I don't think I would have liked the game as much if I had to do the same stages over and over.) This is a great game for small breaks but not recommended for hour long playing stints. The gameplay is sold and I have only had one or two times where I got a door opened instead of placing a flag which were probably from user error/big fingers than anything else. There are a few problems that keep it from 5 stars. While the gameplay is just about perfect but the game does not save upon exiting. This means you have to kill off your crew before you quit if you want to save your score. The game also only saves your highest score. A few more statistics would help (top 5 scores, total people killed, total aliens killed, total doors opened, etc) There is also a glitch; if you touch outside the top of the ship it usually causes the game to crash (I have been able to repeat this crash many times on my ipod.) This does NOT affect gameplay since you never have to touch this area of the screen and I have had no problems with the game crashing other than this. This is a great title and well worth checking out. You will certainly get your dollars worth.

Great idea but controls need work.

Like many others I came to this game through its Flash version. The concept is spot on but the touch controls are still a bit iffy. In addition this game should have some basic menu options including keeping track of your score. All-in-all this app has potential but these issues do have me wishing I had saved my money and stuck with the free Flash version.

Best Game ever

Ben Foddy make THE best games ever, and this is one of them. It makes you think, it's fun to play with friends, it's also fun to see the crewmen get sucked out of an airlock. 100% best buy, all the money goes to support his website.
