iStriker 2: Air Assault - Lite [ A 3D scroller shooter ]

[c2matrix]

Thanks for all your advice. After looking into the touch control problem, we now improved the relative touch control algorithm, It now response more fast than ever, we also adjust some other parameters. After playing for a long time, we are sure it will be suitable for most users.

You can see the changes in the Full version ( coming soon ) and the next update of the lite version.

I realize touch controls are different than arcade controls, but I find most shooters on iOS which follows the exact speed of my finger is often way too easy.
This one differentiates itself in that regard, and good on the developer to make that decision, for my money, it was the right one.

I got used to the ship speed within minutes.

I like the demo, and I look forward to enhanced iCade/8-Bitty controls, but the touch control options is a step back from the first iStriker game.
I liked the option to control bombs by adding another finger anywhere on the screen and a swipe to release the special weapon.

I remember people criticizing this aspect because they wanted buttons, but I found that the original controls were the best, and I wasn't alone with that opinion.
It's too bad these kind of controls are removed in the sequel. I like to be able to play without any buttons on screen at all.

That being said, it's minor nitpicking from my side, and I love the lite version of the game.
The difficulty is spot on, even on Easy, it's not a walk in the park to complete the stage, it's just right, providing a challenge without being ridiculously easy.

For my money, the first one was one of the best Shmups on the AppStore, and it seems the sequel will be just as good.

I do miss the additional challenge of rescuing soldiers a bit, but the game is great fun.

Much thanks for your feedback, iStriker : Rescue & Combat is somewhat complicated for some users to control. So a main purpose of iStriker 2 is make the control simple.

We like both the games, and hope users can like them too.

I understand completely, I just find it regrettable that the button free, swipe to fire special and touch w/second finger to bomb, isn't included as an option, like in the first game.

No matter, I'm gonna play the hell out of this one on my 8-Bitty and iCade Core when the full version is released.

Edit2: And now it's up... A minor delay to the Danish region I guess..
