Comments:
This is a quite robust and challenging version of a game i've been playing for years. Weapon powerups greatly compensate for not being able to shoot behind you, like you can with twin-sticks. It just needs a good chiptune song, sound effects and some fine-tuning with the tilt mechanism.
This game would be phenomenal if the weapon powerups were revised. Often you will pick up a weapon only for it to be much worse than the one you just lost. They seem to upgrade randomly, to the point where the player is much better off to get a good weapon and then ignore all other powerups. This isn't how these sorts of games are meant to be played!
This game is one of the most fun games I have. The controls, while a little tricky at first, give an entirely new gaming experience that requires different strategies than, say, Asteroids. The only problem I can see is the weapon power ups. You should have each type of weapon get stronger/faster the higher the multiplier gets. That would make unlocking rockets, which requires an outrageous high score of 1,000,000, a bit more practical. Otherwise, great game.
I tried to make this game work, I really did, but the contro, method failed completely. You would think that tilting your device would actually move your craft in that direction, but that is not the case. Even in touch control mode the game was utterly unplayable. I sense this game would have been good had I been able to play it, but alas, no.
But that's not a bad thing. There is a slight learning curve with learning weapon powerups and getting used to the tilt (which is better than the touch controls IMO), but once you get your feet on the ground it hooks you. Also the points to unlock powerups is also a great add to replay value. This one is a keeper."
