    Or maybe circuit_strike.one. It is more a asteroid game, but the "advanced" controls in that game are brilliant. You have to get used to it, but if you have it is perfect.

    I was looking at Isotope today, and enjoyed the lite version. It's pretty old though...are there any better games of this type out there now?

    Edit: Btw, I have Geofighter and CS One. My all-time favorite is Meteor Blitz though, so far.

    Critical Wave is my favorite dual-stick shooter and it's currently on sale for 99 cents. I paid 3 bucks when it launched and it's well worth it at that price; it's a steal at 99 cents.

    geoFighter and Abstract War 2.0 are worth checking out.

    Hmmm...from what I've read it only has survival mode. But apparently the controls are exceptional. Does it have nice particle effects when enemies explode? I would like some kind of campaign, but for 99 cents it's hard to turn it down.

    I have GeoFighter. I don't know why, but I've never been able to get into it.

    What makes Abstract War worth checking out?

    Nothing. After having played every dual stick 'geom wars' clone, I must say abstract war is the worst of the batch. I suggest meteor blitz..I promise it's brilliant. Critical wave is def good for .99

    Well, as stated earlier, Meteor Blitz is possibly my favorite iPod game of all-time. I don't really expect another dual-stick shooter to ever surpass it.

    Anyway, I picked up Critical Wave. It's quite nice! Will possibly just grab Isotope as well, since it's different enough and seems good enough to have anyway.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

    What do you mean by campaign? It's a series of levels, with each level consisting of several enemy spawn waves followed by a boss which "evolves" each level, growing ever larger and more dangerous. There's no story to speak of, but it's not just a neverending stream of enemies the way that Minigore is.

    Pew Pew is a great dual-stick shooter that is very similar to Geo wars too. Might want to give it a go.

    Yeah, I picked it up. It's really good.

    Ended up picking up Isotope as well, because the lite felt so nice. These two together along with my semi-regular Meteor Blitz and CS.One sessions should satisfy me nicely.
