XF Paintball - $4.99 Universal + Lite

[sizzlakalonji]

I tried the lite, and was impressed enough to buy the full version. Other than a few minor localization issues, this game is pretty ace. It'll probably get lost amid all of the big games tonight, but that would be a shame. At least check out the lite.

Full version



Lite version

I downloaded the lite version. There seem to be two free and two paid versions, and the difference is only the letters "HD" in the title. They're all universal and optimized for newer devices.

Anyway, will work on getting a mediocre gameplay video up for those who aren't patient enough to wait for Sanuku.

Yeah, I noticed the strange issue of the multiple versions too. I just chose the version with the largest file size. I'm really enjoying the full game. For some reason, this is resonating with me better than most FPS on this platform.

Another strange issue is that the language is listed as English, but some of the menus are in French.

One of my big complaints with this game is that, at least in the lite version, there's no sense of "Hey I'm actually shooting something!" That is, there are no paintballs. I'd love to see the wall or the person I'm shooting be splattered with paint. Without that feature, it's kind of like laser tag.

Is that present in the full version, or is it the same?

I'm glad you mentioned that, because I had forgotten that point. You're right, in the lite version, there is no paint splatter, and it does seem lacking. In the full version, there is indeed the paint splatter and it makes a big difference. I had mentioned the localization thing earlier, but it is certainly obvious that this is a game made by French speakers. The translation isn't the best, but it's not game breaking by any means. It could certainly be fixed up in an update though.

What control schemes are offered? Is there gyro/accelero support?

I'll be buying the full version then. Because the lack of any paint splatter was really making the game unenjoyable for me. I couldn't even tell when I had shot my gun. My phone has been lacking a FPS type game where you can play against bots in single player, and hopefully this game can fill the void.

As for alternate control schemes, I don't see any in the lite version. The default control scheme is a joystick for movement and swipes for turning, similar to MC3/other FPS games on iOS.

Video of the lite version is uploading now; will be a while though, because my internet is complete crap.

Video of the full version will be around sometime after I buy it.
