One of the best shmups on iOS, but... – Space Invaders Infinity Gene Review

UPDATE 2: I have to lower my rating to 1 star because there is *no workaround* to the phone call issue. I get frequent calls, so that almost every time I try to play through the stages or survival mode I get a call and my score and achievements are lost. I tried airplane mode; nobody was able to call, but after I got a high score, it forgot it and didn't post it after I turned off airplane mode. There is no way to turn off calls on an iPhone without turning off cellular data too. STGs are no fun if you can't post highscores, and thus, this game is no fun. Actually it's much worse because it frustrates me so much. There are some glaring problems that bring it down to 2 stars that most other shmups don't have a problem with. The killer is the first one. *) If you get a call during a game, when you hang up, the app restarts itself. Had a world record billion points? Too bad, it's gone. I've recently lowered my rating of this game to 2 stars because it's so frustrating losing hours of gameplay to a phone call. With this game you really have to turn your phone calls off first, and risk losing a friend or losing your mind. *) No leaderboards for each ship/shot type. Different ships score differently, so that means that pro shmupers will only ever be playing with one ship. What a waste. *) please get those obviously hacked scores off the leaderboards. Shmups are about scoring and tainted leaderboards ruin our fun. *) ship control not as accurate as a Cave title. Precision is important, and swiping your finger in small increments or very low speed doesn't move your ship. There's kind of a coefficient of static friction that blocks your ship from starting moving, making it hard to dodge thick bullets.
