    You can flip your screen simply by turning your device upside down. This is handy if you have an iPhone and your headphone jack is in the way of your left hand (like it was for me).

    Updated version seems to have sound cutting out at various points ... can be playing a level and gun sounds drop or interface sounds drop...

    Shame really ... still hoping they introduce a new campaign - on 3rd or so play through and its fun but i can imagine this game being epic if they took the engine and created something like a privateer 2 or elite style game.

    Hey guys, it would be great if you head over to our support page and log the issues you are having. We did make some changes to sound to reduce the performance overhead, but if you are seeing performance and sound dropping issues - that's no good. Just click on the support link in my sig.

    Thanks for your help!

    I'm trying to get the "Ol Jalopy" achievement, it's been easy going until the shredder boss. The first two forms are a breeze but the final stage kills me every time! Any ideas on how to defeat him for good? Even with the best engine the shredder is able to catch up to me and buzz me to death! I have the most advanced engine, shield, scanner, ect. Currently have the anti-stun, 20% shield recharge and 20% weapon fire rate tech equipped. Experimenting with both the best energy and kinetic weapons.

    Awesome game - it is absolutely so much fun! This and only a few others top my list of great iDevice games.

    Quick question - when do you get the 2nd thrust button (super thrust that propels you forward and then recharges)? The button seems to have just appeared for me and I can't remember/see how it was unlocked?

    Is this linked to the mining drill?

    Yes the thrust special ability is only when you have the drill equipped.

    Keep your eye on the scanner whenever the boss is not on screen. As soon as you hear the boss charging up for a dash attack and you see him charging, move perpendicular to his trajectory. He does this three times in a row each time, so I usually end up travelling in a sort of circle. You should be able to do this much more easily than in the large hull ship because you will accelerate faster.

    The best way to attack him is to get as far away as possible from him while still having him on your short range scanners (you will unlikely get too far from him), turn around and fire backwards. I have the thumb guide enabled so it helps with aiming. As soon as he gets close to you start flying perpendicular again, rather than back the other way. This way you will take less time to accelerate and get some distance.

    I personally use the weapon that does 600 damage, and shoots every 0.6 seconds (I forget the name). It ties with the Starcore 2 for highest damage per second, but it fires more frequently than the Starcore 2. There is no benefit in having your shots penetrate through targets for this fight.

    This game was the best but once you complete everything there is no replay value. Moving onto other games. Hope Venan got enough money from sales and come with a update or sequel

    By everything, do you mean achievements too? I'm currently playing on my 5th play through to pickup my last achievement and I'm still having fun. But, I don't see myself playing it too much afterwords though. It would be awesome if this game had dlc.
