Great Game!
AcEMaNz

I love the insect style enemies and bosses. Gameplay mechanics are good but sometimes the ship doesn't follow your finger and gets stuck but its only when you are at the bottom of the screen. The weapons are cool and I love the system of having 4 side weapon slots, a front weapon slot, a rear sentinal slot, a shield slot, and nukes. I like having upgrades while playing plus the story line is good. All this game could use is a few more missions but overall, it is really good.

Where's the music!?
BigFaceGhost

I like the game and all the upgradeables, but there's no game music. All u hear are your weapons firing, and that's pretty buggy too. Sometimes you hear it, and sometimes you don't. I rebooted my phone after installation and it didn't fix anything. There's nothing like a good game with good music to go along with it. Please fix. At least I can listen to my own music while playing.

Not good

Boooo!

Great game, poor controls

Awesome game. Love the art and the upgrades. This would be 5 stars if the controls were more reflexive.

Great Shoot em up!

I really enjoyed this game! The people who are commenting about the controls must have been playing while blindfolded… they are not that bad and definitely do NOT hinder gameplay. As of right now there is no music in the game but I actually like this because I can listen to my music while I play. The difficulty is fair as you get nukes and extra lives and there are a number of weapons combos to play around with. The giant bug enemies are awesome and remind me of something out of Godzilla. Overall an enjoyable and easy to learn shoot-em-up!

Very polished!

The best shooter I have played in awhile. It has music during all levels, so not sure what the other reviewers are smoking! Was moderately challenging, but after several tries I finished it.

Would like fast path to huge guns

Pretty fun all things considered and I spent some good time today playing but I think it should be easier on easy for casual game players to amass huge guns while standing in line. I got stuck and it felt like I played the same parts over and over, even though I was on easy. I'm sure that the game would have more replay value if it had a mode I could whoop without thinking.
