Good idea poorly executed controls are awful movements too sensitive on touch controls the ship feels allover place but I like certain weapons these shud av been skill based not selected, the game don't look right in landscape mode, most shooters are portrait mode. the touch controls aren't very good more tweaking needed

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear you had issues with the touch controls. I'll look into some further settings.

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.

Hello. Thank you for your feedback. Touch controls have now been added after listening to player feedback, like yours. All players now get asked if they would like to control via Tilt or Touch, and it can be changed at any time from the settings.

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!
