Thanks!
Game dev here....
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your comments. I hope you have as much fun playing it as I did writing it!
When you play, there are 3 difficulty settings and 2 control styles so be sure to set it up to suit you.
In reply to anotherkellydo, there is no gamecenter support right now, but if there is enough support it could certainly be added as an update.
Enjoy

First of all, I'm quite impressed anytime I play a game by a one-man dev "team". I like how you made the credits screen showing your play testers, two of which are siblings (?) and your wife (I'm assuming)
I tried both contol settings and ended up feeling more comfortable with the tap to move rather than swipe. I'll be completely honest and say neither were very intuitive. They definitely work with a little practice [EDIT]: I recommend playing on casual difficulty until it clicks, but I feel like there's a better solution. A virtual stick, or floating stick might work better IMO. Out of curiosity, did you try a virtual contol method?
Either way, I'm glad I supported you. I love indie games like this. I'm sure you put a lot of time and effort into it!
If you're slightly curious about this game, try it out and support indie devs. Especially for this price.

Thanks for the comments, it's nice to have your feedback.
If you're on iPad it's worth getting used to the swipe controls as they are more precise once you get into the game a bit. With the swipe you have to use very short jab type swipes (as if quickly scrolling a menu down).
If you're on iPhone/iPod then using tap with hands either side of your device works well.
Yes, I spent a long time with controls, and added the swipe after play-test feedback. Virtual joysticks I'm generally not keen on without the tactile feedback of a proper physical joypad (but I get sticky fingers - so it could be just me!)
Yep, one man and siblings...
Techie stuff: you might be interested to know, this is my first game. It uses Apple's new programming language swift and sprite kit, so is exclusive to iOS. I started dev in January, mostly working at night - supported by my day job.
Here's a new trailer (spoiler warning on this though)

oh nooooo... i've just bought it on my desktop iTunes and then realized that it requires iOS 8 when i've tried to downloaded on my device... i mistakenly assumed that it would work also on 7 
what a shame, wanted to play it... i was a great fan of Atic Atac back in the days.
