*-**-*** RAYFORCE Details ***-**-*
TAITO is famous for arcade shooting games, and the RAY trilogy is one of the most beloved series!
Ever since the 1993 release of the trilogy's first installment, RAYFORCE, fans have been thrilled by the game's cinematic visuals and gorgeous layered raster scrolling graphics. RAYFORCE became a 2D shooting instant classic, and now it's available for iPhone and iPod touch!
*Two Game Modes: Remix Mode and Arcade Mode!
The Remix Mode provides a new, iPhone-optimized experience with simple flick-style controls.
For the hardcore, Arcade Mode is a faithful touchscreen recreation of the original arcade game.
*Two Shooting Methods: Auto and Manual!
Auto Mode provides automatic, button-free firing for both the standard weapon and lock on laser, allowing players to take on this challenging game with a single finger.
Manual Mode adds weapon controls (a toggle for the standard shot and a fire button for the lock on laser), providing a more arcade-like play experience.
*Two Display Types: Zoom and Original!
The Zoom display enlarges the play area, filling the entire iPhone screen with dynamic visuals.
For the purist, the Original display mode delivers a pixel-perfect rendition of the arcade game's screen.
*Difficulty Modes Added!
A total of 8 difficulty modes are now available, ranging from Very Easy to Very Hard.
*RAYFORCE's gorgeous graphics and striking raster scrolling, perfectly recreated!
RAYFORCE owes much of its unique look to the arcade technology of the time, and no expense has been spared replicating those visuals for the iPhone edition of the game.
*RAYFORCE's enchanting soundtrack is back!
One of the highlights of the original RAYFORCE experience was its sound design, perfectly replicated here under the supervision of TAITO's ZUNTATA sound team.
*Game Center Compatibility!
Individual rankings have been prepared for each stage and for each game mode.

Horrible controls
neko68k
Controls are laggy and strange. Take a hint from Cave on how this should be done. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
Brilliant game
CupidDeLocke
If you're a fan of shoot em ups or bullet hell games then you'll love RayForce. Graphics are good, sounds are good, all around this is a great game. Sadly, the controls for the arcade mode seem to be a little laggy. They need to fix that. Otherwise it's an awesome game.
Jerky graphics

I just bought this game for my iPod touch 4th gen. The graphics motion is not smooth at all, quite choppy like 15 frames per second, not good! I recommend you get a Cave shmup instead.
Overpriced but Fun
ggSupah
4/5 fun game style shoot n dodge. But 12$? Really? Graphics are Fine as well ?
Awesome

Very awesome game, very good controls, great graphics, and let's you wanting to play more of it. Music is good as well, game progressively gets more challenging as you reach the later levels. Overall the game is really good..
Works on iPad

Choppy emulation on my iPhone 4. Pretty smooth on my iPad 3. I love the game in the arcade!!! It's arcade perfect minus chops.
Not a Universal App, Dissappointing
Kale Menges
Tsk, tsk, Taito. While a solid port, the lack of true universal app support seems awkward and out-dated. Kind of kills the experience of a game originally designed for a full-sized arcade cabinet monitor or television.
Touch screen latency on iPhone 4s
Urzu06
This is a great classic but unfortunately I cannot recommend this for anyone other than iPad 3 owners. There is very bad touchscreen latency well over 300 ms that makes this type of game unplayable on the iPhone 4s and it just gets worse on lesser hardware. It is just over acceptable on the iPad 3. Hope the developers look into this issue.
Bad frame rate on zoom screen.

I have an iPhone 4 and it is choppy when playing the game on a zoomed screen. The normal screen makes it run smoother, but it's annoying especially for those that want a bigger screen and to those that paid $6 (or full price of $12!). Cave's shmups run perfectly fine and even on older devices. 3 stars though because this is still a great game.
