    One thing I wish for is some more music. Attack and Defend both had some of the coolest soundtracks ever. This is more of a drumbeat =P

    Oh, and I like the story. The blue guys are funny.

    i know this game is miles more complicated than your other two, but secretly i was hoping for a lower launch price (even for the first 24 hours(.

    i sincerely hope your game does go on sale sometime, because im not the biggest RTS fan, but the art style and the videos looked really brilliant. this is definitely going near the top of my list anyway.

    congrats on the release and i look forward to hearing people reviews.

    Jkooistra first of all you are an awesome dev and I love that u have stuck around this entire time. I now have all three to further show my support. I love your art style and your games are all solid titles. The more I get into this the better it's getting. Loving the complexity.

    Thank you sir for yet another great game! :D

    Just downloaded the game after having a buncha technical issues with iTunes and a dinner. I'm gonna sit down right now and beat it :)

    It's peculiar that people are asking for a lower price; I was sincerely expecting something higher - six or seven dollars at least. I don't think they understand the depth of this game.

    Thanks John!!

    Great stuff John, have cleared the first 4 campaign episodes and really enjoying it so far. A lot of information to take in though and kind of feel like I am still flying by the seat of my pants and getting by on sheer luck rather than understanding which ship is which and what each ships capabilities are and how to best use, develop and deploy them.

    Movement of units could be more streamline as moving multiple units one by one is restricted and cumbersome on the small screen especially when needing to quickly summon ships to attack or defend. The ability to group ships into squads and easily move them as a single unit would be a huge improvement.

    Maybe also some tags to identify each ship when selected. Sometimes ships end up overlapping and can be hard to distinguish which is which when selecting one from a bunch.

    I agree with most of the people here... the game seems more difficult to pick up and play right off the bat, but there seems like enormous potential here once you become familiar with all of the options.. and there are a lot.

    I'm looking forward to many epic multiplayer battles with my friend as soon as I go thru the campaign and nail down all the controls.
