Now, it’ll never overtake Combat, but Strike is a decent enough shmup to drop a couple bucks for. The one stage demo was enough to tell me I’d enjoy it, but I’ve been starving for a new shmup for what seems like ages. There’s no relative touch, direct touch and virtual joystick only, but it’s not too terrible. I was able to get to stage 5 on my first play through without issue. I am still wondering what purpose credits have. You loose them upon death and there’s no shop or anything to purchase upgrades. Right now, it looks like just another metric to judge local only scores by. Upon death you are also given a few stats for damage percentages and enemies destroyed. However, there is an icon for GameCenter leaderboards on the main start screen, so hopefully there’s just an issue with Apple needing to update GC boards or the developer figuring out what leaderboards to officially include or something. Could even be something on my end, though it would be a new issue for me. To the dev; Thank you for providing iOS gamers with another shmup. If at all possible, maybe add relative touch controls? Other than all this; no other notes. I’m enjoying it. =) **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review and for reporting the issue with the leaderboards... it should be fixed in the next release. It's true that the credits can't be used now. Maybe it'll evolve into something more meaningful, but no clear plan about it now. The Expert control looks like a virtual joystick, but it's actually a scaled relative touch. We can probably also add a 1:1 relative touch, since you suggested it and it's easy enough to add. This game is a bit of an experiment, and we plan on improving it with time. Thank you again for your support, it really makes a big difference ! ## Frequently asked questions about Fractal Strike ### What is Fractal Strike?
