Yikes. This feels like a poorly ported PC game. I want to like it, but the controls and UI are a nightmare for mobile. Landscape mode for a shmup? Out of your gourds. Transition screens, subtitles, all too slow and glaring. No confirmation when pressing restart level? Put this bun back in the oven for a while, it needs it. Glad I didn't pay the 8 bucks, I'd have been pissed.

Landscape mode is an absolute joke for trying to avoid anything going on. If it wasn't focused on a squadron it would be fine. Bosses take up the screen and it's a requirement to go around them. Going around them means (in landscape) that your squadron will take damage/go down. This is why other shmups are not landscape. Bosses are at the top of the screen and you avoid things. That said, avoiding. Can't avoid anything in this game. The window for picking up downed survivors is too small.

Wow, the controls really are bad, a shame since it looks great. Devs, there's a reason why these bullet hell games are always portrait mode. I tried all 4 styles and played with the sliders, none of it felt good. Don't know how I'm supposed to move my thumb across my huge screen, my hands aren't that big; Maybe I'm supposed to use my pointer, but then I can't grip my phone. Joysticks feel bad and send you to the edge. Additionally, the fire button is TINY, and my finger keeps sliding off it.
