>> Game Play Basics:
Steer your ship manually by tilting your device left and right, or tap your enemies to engage the ON-RAILS "Autopilot". To maximize damage, it is best to be facing your enemies directly before pressing the right "Weapons/Fire" button. Holding the left "Shield" button will allow you to deflect all enemy projectiles. Prolonged use of the Weapons/Shields will cause a temporary overload. Note that it is NOT possible to fire your weapons while Shields are active until you level-up your starship and unlock Translucent Shielding at Level 5.
Successfully completing each mission will unlock new game content while allowing you to level-up in an RPG-like fashion. Completing missions 5, 10 and 15 will allow you to FREELY acquire one of 4 unique playable starships.

Fabulous
Finlaggo
A great game. Graphics and sound effects are amazing, as is the music, gameplay, and AI.
Awesome and fun game to play!

I honestly can't believe the quality of this game. It looks AMAZING on my 4S! What a great gem. The graphics are TOP notch, and while the gameplay is simple, it's very engaging and controls are extremely well handled. I'm loving the cool voice over segments, they really add a good level of depth and submersion. A must play!!!
RIPOFF!!!

This game is terrible for the price. Wait for it to drop to $.99 and you'll have a decent deal. LAME LAME LAME!!! Do not buy!!
Excellent game, excellent graphics.

I have to say the graphics are amazing. One of the nicest looking games I have seen on the iPhone. I like the voice acting. It adds a cool campy space video game feel of an older Genre. Very much worth the money! Looks amazing on my phone (4S)
Mind-numbingly repetetive
Sopants
About 8 seconds in, you've experienced everything the game has to offer. Repetive can be good if it's done with a sufficiently compelling gameplay mechanic - but nothing so compelling is at work here. You pretty much fight the same battle over and over and over, and it's an incredibly shallow battle at that. You can't even aim your weapons. You can steer your ship, but it doesn't make a really great deal of difference if you do - just fly in any direction you like, hold down the fire button until just before it overheats, tap the shield button if you see the enemy fire. That's it. To be fair, defensively, steering can help dodge an enemy projectile or two, but you're just as well tapping the shields. The only sign of the production values so touted in the app description is some voiceover that goes on in the background. It's original and new throughout the game, but does nothing to stave off the monotony. Pretty graphics, though - although it does slow down pretty badly from it's nice 60 fps clip when explosions and effects happen (Ipad 3). Really, slowdown should never be an issue in a "space" game - having no terrain or 3d background to draw frees up a ton of resources, and system power can be devoted to character models and effects. Might be a 3 star app at 99 cents, but at 4.99 it's a definite "stay away".
No tutorial/story

Game has no story and its not obvious how to play. Want a better action space shooter? Try Arc.
Simple yet challenging
Runetail
Even with all the choices of weapons and shields you can still be challenged by the early boards. Great space battle game EVAR!!
