    Hi! I'm a little indie developer looking for some beta testers for my first iOS game "Oh Shoot!"

    It's an arcade shooter with a silly style. The unique thing is that you're controlling two cannons at the same time, one with each hand. They're mounted on rails on opposite sides of the screen, so besides shooting critters you have to evade your own bullets too. It's an exercise it dividing your attention and using peripheral vision.

    :) You can play with a buddy too, though for some reason people always end up shooting each other on purpose.

    The game will have music and game center support, but both won't be available in the first beta.

    I'm looking for testers for all iOS devices with at least iOS 3.1.3, from the first iPod Touch to the second iPad.

    I'm trying out testflightapp.com for beta testing. Please sign up here!

    Alright, I just signed up. The gameplay sounds interesting, so I'm willing to give it a go. 8D

    Edit: I'm using a 3GS, still on 4.2.1 at the moment.

    Awesome, folks!

    Response has been great! By now I have all devices covered except the new iPad 2. Does anyone already have it?

    I'll close the recruitment for this round in a few hours, so be sure to sign up while you still can!

    A few people applied but haven't registered a device yet. Please do so! I'll accept you after that.

    Thanks for your interest so far, I hope you'll like my game!

    Have just registered with an iPhone 4 running 4.3 :)

    Testflight states that I've successfully registered but to give you guys time to create a build for iPhone 4. I guess I just wait then?

    Yay, feedback!

    Got it, thanks a lot, very useful!

    I fixed the crash. I never would've found that one myself!

    I also tried showing only the fire effect in the main menu and indeed it's better than both.

    Considering enemies with weapons, they're supposed to exist. The angry faces and the kitty - shown in the first post's screenshots - as well as a powered-up star all shoot. On Hard, nearly the whole screen can fill up with bullets sometimes.

    I'll look into the rest tomorrow and will get back to you via TestFlight.
