Was an early supporter, but its too choppy and really bland. Dev hasn't been here in a while and there was an update that was supposed to come but hasnt been released yet. :/ Edit: But its free so try it. Sorry for the harshness, it really could be a good game if it was smoother. DaGreen1 Well-Known Member Mar 9, 2012 159 0 0 Florida #3 DaGreen1, Mar 10, 2012 For free, I'll give it a shot. It looked pretty good, but even with your suggestion poster above me, I'll reserve judgement once I play it.

Has a nice 3D looks to the typical airplane shooter like this. Also has a lot of negative reviews on the AppStore, most of which complain of crashes, which I haven't yet had one. One issue, however, is that the menus seem to get cut off. Thanks for posting syntheticvoid! flameon Well-Known Member Jul 26, 2011 1,172 0 0 #6 flameon, Mar 10, 2012 On my iPod Touch 4 32gb, it is very choppy. :/ gunxsword Well-Known Member Dec 24, 2010 2,556 0 0 Sydney #7 gunxsword, Mar 10, 2012 This game gets a little choppy during late game, when you're flying at very high speeds. But it's only a minor framerate drop on my iPhone 4 so it's not much of an issue. A pretty good endless runner genre 'flyer'. Habakuk Well-Known Member Dec 11, 2008 4,779 9 38 Vienna, Austria http://rossau.wordpress.com #8 Habakuk, Mar 10, 2012 Runs fine on iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (both iOS 5.1) with default controls. Not easy but pretty FUN and exciting! Nice graphics and explosions. Good flight feeling. Drive precisely sideways to get through the little hole in the wall. Restarts quick. Straight full version, no "In-App Purchases" for real money or other complications. Thanks for the freebie and the heads-up. Featured in my blog.

Unfortunately it doesn't run that smooth on iPod Touch 4G... awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #10 awp69, Mar 11, 2012 Strange that there's been quite a few comments about it not running as well on the iPod Touch 4G when it's pretty smooth on the 3GS. But I guess I have heard of some games not running as well on the 4G due to memory issues. dclose Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2011 1,866 0 0 #11 dclose, Mar 11, 2012 Have you upgraded to 5.1 and tried running it then? I had tons of games that crashed or ran crappy under 5.0.1, on my iPod Touch, 4th gen, and about 3/4's of them now run fine with the upgrade to 5.1. No idea if that will help in this case, but it might be worth a try if you haven't done so already. Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #12 Royce, Mar 11, 2012 Game's alright. I got it at release and never regretted the purchase. It does feel like a great idea that I wish had been taken further, but for free I see no reason not to pick it up if it interests you. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #13 awp69, Mar 11, 2012 Main thread seems to indicate a big update on the way, but the dev's been sidetracked. Might be something to pay attention to if you've already got it. It does have some good ideas in it as it stands. But could use some fleshing out. AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #14 AnarKitty, Mar 11, 2012 I remember being very impressed with this based on the video Sanuku made when it came out, then forgot about it. Might as well give it a shot now - and I do hope it gets the awaited update, too. LOLavi Well-Known Member May 23, 2011 8,364 0 0 iPhone gamer Finland #15 LOLavi, Mar 11, 2012 No, I've already removed it, but you're right, I haven't actually got any crashes since 2 days ago when I updated! Sri Ram Well-Known Member Mar 6, 2012 433 0 0 #16 Sri Ram, Mar 11, 2012 Great game, but the control schemes aren't the best. I wish it had a Tilt for moving+Buttons for Dodge and Fire. shaking doesn't always register well for Dodge. And sliding controls kinda suck, should've added a joystick instead Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #17 Exact-Psience, Mar 11, 2012 Downloaded this game and I think this game has potential, but ALL the controls are mediocre but flawed at best. I think a left, right, shoot and dodge button will work much better. To me, the game also felt like a Runner rather than a shmup. Sri Ram Well-Known Member Mar 6, 2012 433 0 0 #18 Sri Ram, Mar 11, 2012 Yeah,as an endless flying game, this isn't bad at all, looks great infact. But it would make a much better game if any of the enemies actually fire at you. That and proper controls Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #19 Exact-Psience, Mar 11, 2012 They should do something about the CONTROLS first. The game has potential, but the control are pulling it down. DaGreen1 Well-Known Member Mar 9, 2012 159 0 0 Florida #20 DaGreen1, Mar 11, 2012 To be honest, the others who are saying this game runs choppy, especially on a 4th gen Ipod Touch... are totally correct. I tried it, and while it did run, it was slow as all get out. In fact, there was at least a 5 second delay from where I died to the screen where nothing showed up. And the controls are laggy as can be. I'm only glad I didn't pay for this. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
