    So we can't even play this if we're jailbroken?

    Take it from me, you're not missing out on much. I Have played this previously on my New Zealand account.

    Oh wow. Jailbreak detection? Hmm, let's see if it can be bypassed...
    However, not cool dev. Not cool.

    Nope, doesn't work. It's still in alpha though.
    It's possible to modify the jb detection in Flex but I'm too lazy to fiddle around yet.
    If this game is successful, some community geniuses will get it working in no time anyways.
    Wasted effort on trying to making this non playable on jailbroken devices. They just could have spend that time on making the character able to move around lol.

    I actually think you might like it-- we went into it with the same notions you guys have, but the nature of the control system, the real enemy AI that results in emergent behavior and the ability to control the camera make it unlike what the title "rail-shooter" suggests.

    I'm a developer, so of course I'm saying this, but I encourage you to check it out. I think it might surprise you after a mission or two...

    Well yeah, I wanted to try it but I couldn't like many other users due to a jailbreak detection you have integrated. Why?
    It's wasted effort which you had could spend otherwise. Remove it please. Makes no sense and you'll probably miss out on customers.
    Meanwhile I was able to bypass this protection (see screenshot).

    I hear you-- we're just being conservative at first as we launch and have a bunch of people using the online services. We'll be examining whether it's worth it or not for sure.

    So were you able to try it? And how far did you get? The game really opens up after the first couple of teaching rounds and once you get the pinch to zoom feature, the scores start to get interesting...
