Great when it works, but crashes a lot.

I've been playing in this series since I got the iPod touch second generation and have been a huge fan since then. Now I try to play it on my iPhone 6+ and it works, as long as it can get past the Game Center log in every time I open the app. Nine times out of ten, as soon as the little banner comes down from the top of the screen, the app crashes back to home screen. Once I can manage to get through that, I can usually get a good few minutes before it crashes again. The app needs an update for the newer software. This is the only problem I have found while trying to play. Fix it and I would give it five stars as it should have.

Edit: It does work now! Thank you!

Long time devs.

Good old games that keep getting updated to this day. Quite impressive! Most other games from this time donโ€™t exist on the store anymore.

Potential but broken

Purchased based on strong recommendation. Second time loading, app crashes within seconds. Very disappointed.

Great update!

Intense space shooter with lovely neon graphics. An impressive update to the best shmup on the iPhone.

YEEEAAH!

Making steps towards greatness! Eternally stupendous!

Unique? No. Entertaining? Hardly.

This is a perfect example of why I avoid buying games without a trial or free version to preview it. The game got boring after about 10 minutes. It's not horrible, but it's not particularly unique or imaginative.

Good game, awkward controls

This is a stylish game that plays pretty well... Except the main distinguishing element of the game - its control scheme - is unintuitive and uncomfortable. Rotating the tablet 360' to direct the main line of fire is awkward. Pressing to divide fire to other directions makes it even worse. I appreciate the novelty in deign, but don't enjoy the challenge of wrestling with a control scheme, so I'm not playing this one any more.

We may be a bit late here, but it is now possible to disable accelerometer controls in the game optiions. Let us know if you have any other suggestions!

Amazing

Wow. I have only 1 word to describe this game. INCREDIBLE. With the description and screenshots, the game doesn't look like much, maybe something like spawn glow. The thing that convinced me 2 get it was the plethora of positive reviews. I don't think I saw one below three stars. Those guys don't lie. Great game, great game. The only drawback is that the controls are a little hard 2 master.

It's great, but...

Great game and addictive... But it's definitely a .99 app though 1.99 isn't a deal breaker.
Hopefully it gets updates? Some new stuff or monsters every once in a while?
Lastly, how many people actually play this? I use to be 6 globally, now 19, but that doesn't really help if globally only 159 people play.
