If it plays as good as it looks you are going to make many people very happy. Good shmups are rare on iDevice. When was it submitted?
I checked out the gameplay videos on your website and they look fantastic. I know they are vertical and that makes things a bit more difficult, but if you managed to rescale them somehow and place them in YouTube, you could actually embed them into the post and attract a lot more attention for the title.
Visuals look great. Definitely bought pending some idea of the animation quality. Makes or breaks 2D games like this. Speaking of great 2D animation, someone really should release a Metal Slug style game.
There's 2 types of touch control - a standard one where you touch on the screen where you want your plane to go, and an alternative where your plane moves relative to how your finger moves on the screen. Your plane auto-fires, so the only extra control is a double-tap on the screen to activate your currently collected powerup.
