Ratings and reviews

horrendous gameplay and controls, instead of the ship moving with your finger or thumb, it moves side to side based on how you move your phone, this makes just keeping your ship still become very difficult, and kills any fun that could be had from playing this game. massive, massive shame because I have been on the hunt for a good space themed shmup, and I always forget about this one, think it might be good, and then remember its awful gameplay from its controls.

It's really good fun so far! I've always wanted a landscape shooter for my phone, and this one is great! there's obviously things that could be added to spice up the variety of the gameplay, but overall, it does what it sets out to very well.

Graphics and sound design seem fine. I would advise that the controls be revised however. As it's trying to imitate classic games, controls being only gyroscope based seem a little off. If you allow touch or the on screen joy pad, it would be perfect. Looks great so far!
