Crashes on startup

Game won’t even open. Using iPhone XS Max, App Store says “works on this phone”. Please fix, I’d love to play this!
Awesome game, but controls are awkward

This game is everything I could want in a shoot 'em up, however there needs to be customizable controls. I much prefer swipe/auto fire than a tiny d-pad. My fingers get in the way of the action so much it hurts. I really want to play this game, but the current control setting is so off putting. If there were some different controller configurations such as swipe/auto fire and things like that, this would EASILY be a 5 star game. Here's to hoping the controls get improved. Great job on an awesome game!
Not terrible

If only this controlled like the Cave shmups!!! The visuals/music are great but the controls BLOW. Weird virtual d-pad crap. Floaty ship blah.
Amazing indie shooter.

In a single update, this caring dev has just produced one of the finest vertical shooters on iOS. The brilliant 3-D engine rivals what you've seen from AAA development teams, and backs it up with fantastic ship designs and bullet patterns. The soundtrack and audio create a moody futuristic vibe. Control is now pitch-perfect, and scoring is handled through Game Center. Fans of hardcore vertical shooting and quality indie developers should grab Shmup without delay. PS- GameCenter doesn't work on pre-3rd gen devices running pre-iOS 4.0.
Fun ikaruga clone

Works well on my iphone4 but won't install on iPad. Needs more color. Very difficult!
Great mechanics, but difficulty is a downer
Kip, lol
The actual gameplay is great; it plays and feels like a shooter should, in my opinion. The graphics are great, and I like the style. I don't like how difficult it is. When i say "difficult," I don't mean "requires skill" difficult, I mean "unavoidable deaths, no continues, no checkpoints, no save spots" difficult. I have played the first level a ton, and have played the first few seconds on the second level a few times, but then I die and am forced to start at the very beginning of the game again.
AWESOME!!!!

First off, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this OS4.0 available! I've really been wanting to play this since you've incorporated swipe controls! Now for my review... This, along with Phoenix, are my two favorite shoot-em-ups in the appstore (that run on my 2nd GEN...) ISUD is pretty decent as well... but I'm getting off topic... With the update, adding swipe controls, a point system, lives... this game has become VERY playable. And VERY challenging! I've just scored 6,000,000+ in Phoenix, and I can't get past Act II in this game. Having difficulty settings is kind of pointless though. The enemies are not harder on "hard" or easier on "easy" - on hard, you get two lives, easy = 6... or 7... but there's no change in actual gameplay. If in hard mode you made the enemies shoot faster, or more projectiles, that would make this game A LOT better! That being said, this is still a 5 star app, especially at 99 cents. The frame rate is solid (even on my 8GB), the graphics are pretty decent (the enemies pink ball projectiles look kind of fruity... but in Act II, some of the enemies blue+grey/silver projectiles look pretty bad@$$... hehe), I don't see anything about Retina Display in the description, so I'm guessing it looks the same on newer generation iDevices... but it's also never crashed, and given me hours of entertainment. Thank you for keeping with this game, and planning on making updates and changes to it in the future. Can't wait! =o)
Great Game!

Good - Speed, enemies, strategy! Bad - Needs a pause button that does not reset the game. If you turn the screen off (power button) the game resets. Once you have beaten an act you should be able to start the next act with full lives. Gameplay should change with 2 players. Change the color of the indestructible targets you can barely see them against the background!
