    I have just played Skysmash and Skyforce (why is there only a lite version available for skyforce ? ) they are nice games :)

    What are the best vertical shooters with touch control and auto shooting? ( I find that best for this device)

    Also any with global high scores ?

    I know there are threads about this topic but they include all shooters and are older threads, so any suggestion ?

    Make sure If you get Noiz2sa to get the free lazrhog version as it is superior to the zodttd version.

    And of course, if there are some with Global scores, it helps to keep it addictive.


    Edit: oops :), I was trying just to edit my post............sorry for the repeat !

    I agree with Siberian Strike. Believe it or not, the EA Star Trek game is quite good too.

    Arcade style shoot'em ups...

    Myself as a wish list for japanese developers, to bring the japansese arcade shoot'em ups to the iphone.

    The one developer that springs to mind is, " cave-atlus "

    The awesome graphical brilliance of " Deathsmiles " available on the ps3 and xbox 360 or any arcade shooter like " do don pachi "

    we can all dream but who knows???

    I love that game :)

    Tha is why I am enjoying Skysmash and Skyforce. Playing with touch controls for a shooting game is perfect for this device I think.

    Not many or any of these shooters with global scores ............have not found one yet.

    Have them both and enjoy both, but would like touch control with cell war :)

    Is it just me that finds that have to press a shoot button over and over on this device gets tiring? Thats why I like the auto shoot better. maybe i need to find the right game................who knows. In the arcade I would never go for a game with auto shoot but on my iphone, I seem to really like that style.

    ok:) I have been holding out on that one............sold.


    I also hear that Sentry Alpah is good but I like touch control and This does not have that...I think, not sure.

    Edit: I was just playing ifighter and switched to the touch controls and it gives me a headache because the screen moves as opposed to everything being on one screen like galaga.maybe it's not always the best control.
