The game is loaded with sound effects. Can you please provide us with some details on your iDevice? Would love to help get Assault Squadron running the way it was intended for you Masmo Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 1,624 5 0 Overlord In your pants #8 Masmo, Dec 9, 2010 Grabbed the game and was loving it until I got frustrated with beating it on normal. I kept failing at the last boss using up all my continues and after about 5 times I deleted it. It's a good game, but I'm not the best with bullet hell shooters Powerpuff_kate Well-Known Member Nov 28, 2010 51 0 0 #9 Powerpuff_kate, Dec 9, 2010 NO!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not free anymore!! Missed the chance. ipod_david Well-Known Member May 3, 2010 1,332 0 36 #10 ipod_david, Dec 9, 2010 .99 is still a steal, mate! Herosoft Ltd Well-Known Member Nov 23, 2010 155 0 0 #11 Herosoft Ltd, Dec 9, 2010 Deleting, rebooting and reinstalling fixed the sound problem, so apologies there. Still a horrible game, though, sorry... ipod_david Well-Known Member May 3, 2010 1,332 0 36 #12 ipod_david, Dec 9, 2010 *lol* please share with us what in your world is a good shmup? Herosoft Ltd Well-Known Member Nov 23, 2010 155 0 0 #13 Herosoft Ltd, Dec 9, 2010 No problem - Espgaluda 2, Dodonpachi Resurrection, Phoenix, rRootage, Space Invaders Infinity Gene, Noiz2sa and Nunix all spring to mind. TechnoTrancer, ISUD, Icarus-X and Alien Swarm are also pretty good. Nice graphics and big bloated cutscenes alone do not make a good shmup. RCranium666 Well-Known Member May 28, 2010 456 0 0 #14 RCranium666, Dec 9, 2010 No offence, but you're out of your mind. Attack squadron has the best graphics of any shmup in the app store. Everything is ultra sharp. And yes, I'm including dodonpachi, espgaluda, phoenix, super laser and icarus x in that list. My favorite is phoenix because I love warning forever. I wish someone would bring ikaruga and raiden4 to the app store! I know shmup is like ikaruga, but it doesn't seem ready for prime time. Herosoft Ltd Well-Known Member Nov 23, 2010 155 0 0 #15 Herosoft Ltd, Dec 9, 2010 Uh, it wasn't a list of what had the best graphics. ipod_david Well-Known Member May 3, 2010 1,332 0 36 #16 ipod_david, Dec 9, 2010 gfx is not what makes a shmup a good shmup. DDP, Phoenix are really great games. but play assault squadron on extreme and get a blast, its not easy and very challenging!
