Information Seller:Firi Games Genre:Action, Arcade Release:Aug 12, 2011 Updated:Sep 28, 2019 Version:2.6.3 Size:100.4 MB TouchArcade Rating: User Rating: (26) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal Phoenix hd is on the nz appstore now! Wow wow wow! I didn't thought it would be that great but there IS no turning back from that hd experience. The 60 fps framerate is amazing and the new effects and backgrounds are jaw dropping... I hope that firi finally get the attention they deserve by going free because this is the best shmup available on the appstore. Small things i would have liked: a full screen version because, as of now, there are black borders on the edge of the screen on my ipad. But i assume this as something to do with the retina resolution on the 4th gen being smaller. Oh and the sound of the bosse's explosion is not loud enough but that's just a small rant Anyway you know what to do now and i can't wait to see the next game from you guys sapphire_neo Well-Known Member Jan 20, 2011 3,936 0 0 #2 sapphire_neo, Aug 11, 2011 :wills time to move faster: MUST HAVE IT NOW RCranium666 Well-Known Member May 28, 2010 456 0 0 #3 RCranium666, Aug 11, 2011 Damn you Kiwis!

I hope you are wrong. Actually looking at all the photo's the black bars are just on the sides, the usuall retina/universal con has black bars top and bottom too. sapphire_neo Well-Known Member Jan 20, 2011 3,936 0 0 #9 sapphire_neo, Aug 11, 2011 It's using the native iPad res, but respecting the default iPhone aspect ratio so that devs don't have to rework the enemy spawn algorithms for the added space in iPad mode. A slight disappointment, but a minor price to be paid given at how much the dev is asking for the game and the fact that it's universal. The other option is Phoenix HD for iPad that will add only a slight play area to the game but will be a different SKU and possibly more expensive, like Silverfish MAX. Guise Well-Known Member Jul 10, 2009 2,027 13 38 #10 Guise, Aug 11, 2011 I'll go ahead and ask: will Phoenix HD include any audio options, such as muting the music but keeping sound effects? I hope. Selachii Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Nov 13, 2009 659 6 18 Game Designer Netherlands http://www.firigames.com #11 Selachii, Aug 11, 2011 Phoenix HD on the ipad has 2 thin black bars on the sides, indeed to keep the same aspect ratio as the iPhone. We 'need' to do this to keep the gameplay exactly the same across devices. If the iPad playfield would be wider, it would impact the scores of iPad players and thus be unfair (regardless of it being an advantage or disadvantage). It is not because we are being cheap or lazy, suggestions for the empty black areas are welcome! Not yet Guise, but you are not alone, have faith! gunxsword Well-Known Member Dec 24, 2010 2,556 0 0 Sydney #12 gunxsword, Aug 11, 2011 Last edited: Aug 11, 2011 Yes. I play with my own music on and can still hear the sound effects without the in-game music *Edit: HOLY COWs the missiles look so much better now!!! ALL HAIL CORSAIR!!!

Selachii Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Nov 13, 2009 659 6 18 Game Designer Netherlands http://www.firigames.com #17 Selachii, Aug 12, 2011 Very interesting, could you mail your crash logs to [email protected]? We'll fix it asap! If you bought the ships in Phoenix, you will still have to purchase them again in Phoenix HD as it is a separate App. kevlar x Well-Known Member Feb 11, 2009 395 0 0 Wales,uk #18 kevlar x, Aug 12, 2011 Omg this game runs like a dream on ipad 2. I'm having a problem purchasing the iap tho, says ' this is not a test account ' blah blah blah. My ipad is jailbroken if that makes any difference. Selachii Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Nov 13, 2009 659 6 18 Game Designer Netherlands http://www.firigames.com #19 Selachii, Aug 12, 2011 Not sure if it makes a difference, but maybe make sure you're logged into the App Store correctly (log out+log in)? Jail-breaking is a territory i'm not familiar with so it's hard to say. your personal robot Well-Known Member Nov 11, 2008 3,606 3 0 nonverbalist Berlin #20 your personal robot, Aug 12, 2011 One word: breathtaking! This game was looking fantastic, now it's looking incredibly good. The backgrounds, wow!! Everything running perfectly fine on my iPhone 4. Still think, you should wipe the old high scores since the game changed a lot. But again. WOW.... best endless shooter! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
