Here comes the newest shmup to hit the iOS App Store, Sky-High Strike. It is a work by another Taiwanese developer known as "Benny Bird." This time this shmup is free, despite the approximate file size of 60 MB. Compatible with iPhone 3GS and above.
Known Features:
- There are 7 stages divided into 2 sub-stages each. Completing all of them will unlock the extra hard stage.
- On starting the game, there are five selectable weapons.
- The only IAP is to get more of the in-game currency. It can be spent to buy upgrades to the only available ship, and to remove the ads.
- When you die, there are no continues but restarting the whole of the last stage where you die from the first part.
- The only way for the player-controlled ship to explode is to lose all lives.
- Game Center leaderboards are available.
- The control scheme is touch-type but you cannot move up or down...
- There are some typos...
I think that the bomb SFX is not as fantastic for me...

I express my apologies for posting a bunch of mobile shmup threads in this forum in recent months, because some members perceive them as "spam." I have to redeem myself.
