I've never heard of this game...anyone know if it's any good? I decided to post this because of it being a SHMUP, its tiny file size, and the screenshots.

In addition to… $0.99 Buy Now Watch Media DetailsListen in amazement as music syncs with dazzling action in this pulse-pumping, high-speed shooting game! In addition to the current 2 modes, a hidden AWAKEN MODE has been added! Use your awakened might to evade over 10 times the normal onslaught of enemy fire! 2 exciting new music tracks have also been added! =========================================== A shooting game tailored to enjoy in short bursts makes for an unparalleled, soaring adrenaline rush. - donpy (@CDIP) =========================================== Experience 3 Unique Modes: - NORMAL MODE: The main Techno Trancer mode. Novices and experts alike can enjoy the quest for 100 Phases and 10 million points! - 60SEC MODE: Aim for a high score within a 60 second time limit. Awakening adds to the clock. - AWAKEN MODE (Hidden): Face a hail of lasers in this hard mode. Skilled pilots are given the choice to awaken, or die! Key Features: * Operating Your Ship Move your ship by dragging your finger across screen to avoid red lasers and destroy your enemies! Enemy lasers are slowed by the anti-gravity field that automatically expands around your ship. If you're not crazy about facing a laserstorm head on, you can take your time by catching and dodging them with the field. * Collect Energy Bits The more enemy lasers there are in the anti-gravity field that surrounds your ship, the more "energy bits" will appear when you destroy an enemy. Collect these to increase your score. In addition, each time you collect an energy bit, the Energy Gauge at the top of the screen will increase. When it fills up completely, you will enter Awakened Mode, where the screen lights up in a dazzling light show. You will be completely invincible and have maximum weapon power until the gauge reaches zero. Also, destroying enemies in Awakened Mode will release large amounts of energy bits! * Reverse Enemy Lasers with an Anti-Gravity Field Blast If you find yourself surrounded, shake your device rapidly (*1) to discharge your anti-gravity field on the entire screen. This will temporarily cause all enemy lasers to reverse course. (This can be used when the icon at the top right of the screen is flashing.) But use this with caution: you will lose your anti-gravity field for a short time after using it, making it impossible to slow down enemy lasers. *1 Can be set to activate by simply touching the screen with 2 fingers (via Options). Gameplay Hints: - The only things that you cannot touch are the red enemy lasers. You can touch enemy ships without taking damage. - Enemy lasers need to touch your ship's core to damage it, so you can get very close to them and still remain safe. - Avoiding enemy lasers is easiest if you move slowly and smoothly. If it looks like you're going to get surrounded, try to weave your way in between the enemy lasers to escape. - If you think your ship moves too slowly or too quickly, adjust the speed in the Options menu.

Nice little shmup with some interesting scoring mechanics. Definitely worth checking out if you're up for some pretty fast score-chasing gameplay. There's a lite version if you wanna check it out beforehand.

BTW, I was hoping you would pop by this thread and chime in I might just need to buy this to support the devs who still manage to produce visually arresting games that take up less than 20 Megabytes. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #4 Greyskull, Oct 3, 2012 I only played for about 30 seconds, but this bears a strong resemblance to the games of that Japanese indie SHUMP maker who made Noiz2a, among others. I used to have all of his games on my PC, the oldest must date back to 2000 or 1999 or so. And yes, I'm aware that some of his work has been ported to touch devices.
