    Blasterifics - 5 stars
    by SK177135 - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013

    Addictive and colourful, a great conversion of the PC game of the same name.

    A tail of melted thumbs and eyeballs - 5 stars
    by mrijprice - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013

    I'm never gonna get out of this alive! Death came swiftly. Death comes with a strange regularity. In a bunch of eye melting pixelly ways. Yours thumbs won't thank you. Your eyes won't thank you, but your brain will. How can something so pretty be so damned evil? Well, spawned from the bullet-hell spattered brain of Rob Fearon, how can it be any other way? Are games art? This question has been answered: loud and clear. Dead again. And again. And again. But progressing nicely with every game.

    Excellent - 5 stars
    by StephenParkes - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013

    On a par with Super Hexagon in the best short game experience available on iOS while also jumping into the number one dual stick shooter on iOS. This is my favourite game if the year so far and developers are going to have to work hard to wrestle that accolade away from DRM.

    I need faster thumbs! - 5 stars
    by Spraydough - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013

    Crazy fast, crazy tricky, crazy colourful, total fun! The best arena blaster I've seen for an age.

    Beautiful! - 5 stars
    by Krakatomato - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013

    One of the prettiest games on iThing and an absolute joy to play..

    Awesome festival of retro shooter goodness - 5 stars
    by Retroeric - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013

    Fast, furious, colourful, noisy, chaotic. Please sir, I cannot tell a lie, DRM is the dogs.

    Very nice - 5 stars
    by CorpusAbomino - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013

    I'm not sure if I'm winning or losing but it's pretty awesome none the less. Very Minter-esque. Good controls and nice, colourful graphics.

    Soft & brutal arena shooter - 5 stars
    by alienbraincookies - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013

    Hypnotic, relentless, shiny and very challenging arena shooter... Shoot the glowy death, make stuff explode. ALL the stuff! I like how you can dip in and play casually, or attempt to take it seriously and laugh as it tears your teeth out. Love your manta!

    More colours than Skittles and sherbet - 5 stars
    by Uvtkingy - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 29, 2013

    Stuff all these awful casual games and advert ridden atrocities. This is the real deal. Do you lament the demise of your local arcade emporium, then this is for. Do you like Robotron but with many many deaths. Then this is most certainly for you. Well, i enjoyed it anyway.

    In icade mode, you always shoot forward, but it sure is fun to play with the big stick!

    You can start a comment thread directly from the info page for the game (near the top where it would normally say how many comments there were) and it will auto link for you. Or, in a case like this (since you wanted to post in the sale forum, not general) go to the App Store, copy the link to the app, and use the tag appinfo=all (in brackets) then the link, then /appinfo (in brackets)

    That's just the abbreviation for the app name - Death Ray Manta. Looks like a fun game.

  11. Manefaces, yo bro!!! Nice short chatroom chat, hope you are doing well. :)

    It's pretty good, a very retro dual stick, kinda similar to robotron kinda, but not really. Has a quirky style, and only one life which kinda sucks. The graphics are psychedellic, and the gameplay is real fast and hard.

    But yeah, highly recommended! Especially cause it has icade joystick support!

    Here is a screenshot for you.

    It's a fun little Jeff Minter-like thing, worth a looksie. But I have maybe a dozen similar titles and don't think it'll make it into the rotation.
