...
Every single Gameloft shooting (FPS/third person) game after 1 July, 2011.
You could also try out their flagship products Modern Combat and NOVA to get a feel of their perfected control schemes. The number of alternatives and freedom in customization is staggering.

That's the beauty of audio cacophony . Playing solo does help you hear individual zombies sneaking up on ya some what... when your gun's not blazing that is.

Really like the update, thanks for listening to the fans about joysticks and unlockable guns. Made it to wave 7 so far. One suggestion in the next update, can you make it where you can play with the headphones on the top right of the screen. I find it's harder when the headphone jack is on the lower left ( where it's currently situated ) thanks !

The one thing Devs that I find troublesome
is when you have to reload
When you have to hold your device flat and swipe downward on the screen I often pull down the apple current weather , app activity, stock exchange figures screen!!!
Would be better just automatic reload

The game doesn't work. I received a message saying that I won a Pistol because I downloaded the game very early, but for some reason the game isn't working. I'm stuck looking at the floor with a red cross, and I can't do anything. I tried reinstalling but it also doesn't work. iPhone 4S with last iOS.

Great update! Thanks for listening to the feedback. Looking forward to unlocking those guns!

I've never been a huge fan of joystick + gyro for fine tuning controls. in games that require lots of waling around they've just seemed like such a faff. I guess for this one they may work.

You don't have to swipe down the whole length of the screen, you just swipe down from half and it reloads. An automatic reload would absolutely kill a suspenseful mechanic.

Auto rotation is a little bit tricky in a gyro game...certain motions (like aiming down to reload) cause the autorotation to kick in when you don't want it to. We would have to build in manual orientation adjustment, which would take some time.

This sounds like a bug with your gyro. Sometimes the gyroscope doesn't like to wake up. Rebooting should fix it.

After some more experimentation, we vote "no" on simultaneous joystick + gyro. Sorry guys.

Sucks, right? Notification center didn't exist when we started developing this game, haha. In the tutorial we tell players to swipe from top to bottom to reload, but you can actually swipe any direction. Swiping bottom to top or left/right will help avoid the notification pulldown.

How strange, you're still the only person from whom we've heard this. I'm so sorry! I'm sending you a PM, let's sort this out.
