    What i normally do is wiggle a bit up and down to gain speed...and then try to hit the gates to get even more.

    That's at least how i start up my game.

    I think the game is MORE than good enough that it doesn't really need any updates.

    IMO, solipskier is the perfect example of How to ruin an awesome concept of a game out of sheer laziness. Best thing I love about iOS games is the dev-user interaction. Apparently these devs dont care about the user feedback. Could have been one of my most played games. Right now I play it for a couple of seconds before I remember there is not even a pause button here and I quit it to play something else.

    Currently the competition of the week for the Bullet Hell Fanatics group.
    (And yes, I know it's not a shmup, but we play other games too)

    All are welcome to join the bullet hell/shmup competition! My current high score is only ~27 million.. I still got a long ways to go! ;)

    For got to ask (haven't gone through all the pages yet).. But is Gamecenter gonna be added? It would be nice to compare scores with GC friends.

    One of only game that lives on my iDevice for good. I actually tweeted at Brad, Eli and Jared 2 days ago saying they need to TA Plays it and it appears they heard me. Not having a pause, or updated graphics or even multi-tasking is not necessary.

    If you don't own this game, buy it now.

    Still needs GameCenter. Awesome game, but a high score chaser without leaderboards is irrelevant these days.

    The average game for the average person might take 1-2 minutes, but people that actually like the game and enjoy playing should be topping out MUCH higher than that. Pause would be a welcome addition.

    just got my high score and the game took 8.5 minutes. I think not having a pause might be a problem, but to me it makes the game better and more fair. Game is ridiculously addicting.

    Hopefully devs see this, and there is more support for this fantastic title.

    Yes, that says "Oh My God!!!"

    EDIT: This isn't working right, is it? Tapping the Restart, End, etc. buttons does nothing (tapping the center of the screen does) and as soon as you start to play, you die. :/

    I know... OMG right?

    Until you realise this isn't actually iPhone 5 (or above) optimised. The screen calibration is all off - and to get any of the buttons ready, you need to press the screen about one inch (2.3cm) to the right for anything to happen.

    I was so happy to see this get a well-deserved update. But, you know what? Know I'm thinking they should let sleeping dogs lie...

    My morning: From :) to :mad: ... This is such a hatchet update job I'm crushed - and because others also remember this game so fondly, how is their reaction going to be any different from ours? From a fond a memory to an embarrassment.

    I just picked this up now and I'm having a good time. It's nothing amazing but still fun.

    Exactly. Instead I'll bask in the sentimental glow of those times when it first came out. :eek:
