Have you tried it yet, Gabrien? strivemind Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2010 2,784 2 38 Designer Ottawa, Canada http://www.strivemind.com/ #3 strivemind, Jan 15, 2013 If this is anywhere near as good as the PC version, BUY IT NOW. Shmup fans will be impressed. Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #4 Gabrien, Jan 15, 2013 Yes, but only briefly so far. It's...not bad. The core gameplay at least seems like fun and well put together, but I am having a real issue with the frame rate which is below 60 FPS, and the sound effects which sound particularly puny and unimpressive. Graphical effects such as explosions are likewise pretty underwhelming. strivemind Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2010 2,784 2 38 Designer Ottawa, Canada http://www.strivemind.com/ #5 strivemind, Jan 15, 2013 Last edited: Jan 15, 2013 Doesn't look quite as good as the PC version (things like lasers and explosions are lacking the big distortion effects), but still very smooth on iPad 3. No IAP that I can find. If anyone remembers Astro Tripper, combat is a lot like that. Music is good. Points are awarded for kills as well bonuses for various achievements (ex, clearing a group with a laser). Fights against larger battleships get pretty intense. Game Center leaderboards and achievements. AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #6 AnarKitty, Jan 15, 2013 I just bought it. I'll take this chance for a whole dollar. Thanks for the impressions, everyone. sugimulm Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2010 2,456 46 48 The last time zone for iOS game releases :( #7 sugimulm, Jan 15, 2013 I don't see it in the US store, even though AnarKitty bought any other link? AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #8 AnarKitty, Jan 15, 2013 Just clicked the link again, and no dice. Maybe this was released early by mistake, or pulled? Glad I grabbed it. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #9 syntheticvoid, Jan 15, 2013 Wondering too... Since strive brought up Astro Tripper, I've GOT to check this out.

Robotwars Well-Known Member Mar 23, 2011 281 0 0 #12 Robotwars, Jan 15, 2013 Thinking this was released too early as it has obviously not been optimized. Extremely poor framerate.

I Played the osx/pc version and it's simply beautiful, I hope that also in this version will be included the retro computer graphic filter, the ZX spectrum and apple II fx are totally gorgeous! aXon[Evil] Member Oct 12, 2012 23 0 0 #15 aXon[Evil], Jan 15, 2013 Sorry guys Hi People, I'm Luca From StudioEvil, developer of Syder Arcade HD. I'm sorry but this release (for nearly 20 minutes I think) was a mistake. The official launch date is January the 28th. The game is ready but we are working on a trailer video and some other few things. The game someone of you already have (Hope you like it) is for iPad 2+ and iPhone4s+ Sorry we can't support iPhone4. Trying to amend for my mistakes, if someone needs some info about the game I'm here for answers. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,781 566 113 England #16 psj3809, Jan 15, 2013 Damn this game looks great Then i hear about retro filters ?!? Are these in the game ? Would love to see the Spectrum filter ! But from the video it looks really good, great graphics and a bit different from the usual horizontal shooters. Roll on the 28th !! aXon[Evil] Member Oct 12, 2012 23 0 0 #17 aXon[Evil], Jan 15, 2013 Thanks! Actually filters are disabled on the mobile version for performance reasons. We are working on a way to make them work in the next release. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,781 566 113 England #18 psj3809, Jan 15, 2013 Ahhh shame ! But fair enough, would have been a nice bonus. At first i thought the game (the way you can go left and right) reminded me of an old classic game from the early 80's. The video by Sanuku is great as some of those later levels look superb. Any idea on filesize ? Anyway looking forward to it, instant purchase from me Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #19 Gabrien, Jan 15, 2013 Just to understand correctly: the game I downloaded is the release version, same as the one scheduled for the 28th? No further optimizations for graphics, sound, and frame rate in particular are to be added?
