    "...featuring many different control methods, four types of ships, and other features... the graphics look very good, and while the gameplay itself looks pretty generic, this is all judging from the screenshots. Everything you would expect from a shoot-em-up is also included: different gameplay modes, ship upgrades, and extraordinary boss fights."

    That's all the info I have for now.

    I love top down shooters. This one looks good. When is the release day?
    I must say the bar is constantly being raised for top down shooters on iDevice.

    guys, i've had a bit of time with this and i have to say, this is in my opinion the best top down/sidescrolling shooter on the iDevice.

    yes, i have had permission to give general details so you can ask general questions.

    I'm really excited for this. I expect the controls are really good. How long is the game? I know there are different ship and weapon options--just hoping for a lot of content. Any guess when this will be released? Thanks in advance for any info.

    there are 4 ships,all of which have different qualites (one you have to unlock), and the controls are spot on.
    there is a story mode, and an arcade mode, where you can replay all finished levels in story mode without having to watch the cutscenes (which are unbelievably awesome)
    no info on release

    Rotate your iPhone and any top-down shoot 'em up is a sidescroller.

    funny. but seriouly, the UI and sprites are changed for the side scrolling parts and vice versa

    Sorry, forgot to ask this before. About what percentage of the game is side-scrolling? Thanks.

    Thanks once more. Surprised it's that even; don't know why, but I had expected a bit of side-scrolling mixed in with mostly top-down. Rock on.
