Wow, thanks! Really nice game and the right way of distribution! :)
Art and menus looks very interesting, bosses and aircraft design is awesome! Very good effect for taking items! You do a great work.
There are some things I want to fix, imho: ships explosions - they too fast and transparent, so ships just dissapear; pauses between enemy's waves dont needed; and may be try to make background scrolls faster? :roll:

It is really well made.
I never, ever want to hear someone say this about their own work. For anything.

Sorry for my mistake, what I meant is I spent lots of time making it until I believe it is quite good.

Yes, i played it on my ipod touch4. Really well made :) Ships and bosses design VERY GOOD! Yes, I say it again))

About game improvement, i think its good idea to make it a bit faster, more dynamically. Not bad, if levels would be shorter. Shmups is a fast and replayability action, and short levels are more suitable. About explosions: just try to add a non-transparent explosion animation, that covers the ship)

Nice game, maybe a bit too easy. I get lots of extra lives and only die from the cheap boss instant kill attacks where they just fly into you.
But please change the german description... Auslaender is NOT a good translation for alien... You dont want to have a game say: destroyed all the foreigners...

Hey 2DStar,

I played through the game last night on my 3rd generation ipad.

The game played well with no issues. Overall I think you have built a good title, that with a few adjustments would be a solid shooter.

-- When a player loses a ship, the new ship should be invincible for at least a second or two. On a couple occasions I died only to have my new ship appear right on an enemy, and lose that ship as well before I had a chace to move.

-- New enemies for the later stages would add variety.

-- As mentioned, the soundtrack becomes repetetive after a few stages.

-- The difficulty was a little too easy, I finished all seven stages on my first game.

-- The larger enemies movement seemed a bit static, if they moved faster and converged on the player's ship more aggressively, I think the difficulty would definitely be harder.

PS - I really liked the asteroid field, would have been nice to see those space rocks make another appearance on a later stage.

Thanks for the update! And I want to ask you once again: Please make an explosions less transparent and more tough! Check ones in the "Astrowings 3 Icarus" game :roll: OR you can add some particles from exploding enemy.

I need to put more time into the game, but seems fun. I did sign up for iCade beta testing; any shmup that includes iCade support gets my dollars. It should be a requirement; a lot of the shmups on iOS would be so much more fun with iCade support.
