No analog stick functionality with MFI controller support for a SHMUP?

newlygrownappendage

It's cool they implemented MFI controller support but it's practically unplayable being limited to a D-Pad without analog stick support for this bullet he'll shoot me up. Maybe it's my controller; Mad cats ctrli game pad but I don't think so. Besides that it reminds of some of my favorite arcade shmups like Armed Police Batrider and Batsugun. There are so many good shmups on this platform it would be awesome if somebody would make an iPad compatible Bluetooth 4 way seimitsu joystick gamepad for this purpose.

Finally made it to stage 5 on normal #~40 on Game Center lol

It's a good game. You kinda gotta memorize tricks for each boss and for parts of levels. There's no reason to die on level one or really even get his by the first boss for example if you memorize his 4 or so attacks. You don't really have to leave like an inch big section on the bottom of the screen even. I have no idea how to beat the stage 4 boss without dying a bunch but the cylinders (not diamonds) he shoots at you don't hurt so don't bother trying to dodge them. I'm sure it's beatable but itseriously crazy hard. 99% of the players probably don't make it through half the game. I've been looking for a game like this for awhile and this is great. Seems like something that woulda sucked quarters outta kids pockets 20 years ago.

could be.....

one of the best SCHMUP's on the AppStore if it wasn't absurdly difficult. surprises me that the majority of reviews here and elsewhere share the same sentiment but the dev seems to not care or they would have tweaked the difficulty. if you think you are a god at these games or you like playing for 30 seconds and quitting out of frustration this game is for you.

Great but too hardcore

This is an incredible bullet shooter, but "Easy" mode seems anything but to me and "Normal" modes means near insta-death. This plays wonderfully on my iPad; if only I could see past the first two bosses. Please developers, make a wimp mode for the rest of us. My recommendation is only buy if you want extreme challenge.

Could be fun

Too hardcore for casual gaming. Too bad since I was looking forward to a good arcade style scrolling shooter.

Unfair gameplay bad controls and ui

Easy mode plays like expert mode. You have to look at the top to see when special move is charged. Your ship should change color. Instead of 2 finger tap for bomb you need to tap in lower right. First boss shoots super speed laser without warning which insta kills you. Boss 4 shoots very dense bullets at super speed. Poorly implemented shooter.

Game should probably come with a disclaimer

Ofasu

I don't normally leave reviews, but after looking at some of the piss poor reviews people left about garbage controls to wah wah its to hard and , don't waste your money I want a refund. I decided that this game probably should have a disclaimer that looks something like this If you can't beat contra without having to enter the up up Down down code. Don't buy this game. If the first thing you do after you beat a level is run to the closest save crystal. Don't play this game. If you have to reach for your wallet or moms wallet cause you need the best equipment or the first level is to hard. Don't bother downloading this game. If most of your achievements,unlocks, and hidden crap you got were the result of selecting yes after being asked if you really wanted to purchase this from Apple. Skip this title and Go on to the next game. This game doesn't mess around. There's no holding your hand helping you through the first few levels. It tells you to pick a pilot and goes good luck now go save the world. The devs should be commended for making a tough game like this. Where you have to sit down and play knowing that you don't have unlimited lives and countless of continues to fall back on. The game doesn't care that one more shot would of killed the last boss. Remember what you learned from that encounter now go back to stage one.

Fun - BUT HARD!!!

If you don't take this game seriously it is pretty enjoyable.. but if you let it get under your skin you might end up needing a new iphone after you threw the one you're on at a wall!!

1 of the better Shmups

Anodyn3

It's definitely a tough game. But w such fast load times, frustration has no time to sink in... Would've been a quarter muncher back in the day for sure!

Never says credits are one use

HumphreyBogarden

So I paid to max out credits. Because u need more credits in all modes. But nowhere does it say that the iap for credits is one use only. They should regenerate for the extra two dollars we paid. Shameful money grab. Like I'm going yo pay two dollars each time I want to play. Thx for the greed.
