Awesome Game!

Tried the light and bought the full version. Love the neon style, graphics, etc

The touch controls on an iPhone is definitely hard to play as your thumbs are covering the screen.

Definitely takes some time to get used to moving and turning.

One feature I’d request is to save iCloud save, so I don’t need to redo the unlocks.

Cheers

Needs Dynamic/Floating Joystick

It’s a great game for the most part. I love space shooters and the wide variety of upgrades give it a lot of interesting replay value.

However, the controls are just frustrating if you aren’t using a gamepad. The game desperately needs a dynamic / floating joystick option (that appears where you place your finger). I just do not have the skill to be able know exactly where the joystick is on the screen to accurately manipulate the controls with any kind of accuracy. And accuracy is required to get anywhere with this game.

Developers, please add this as a controls option in the future. It will drastically improve the experience.

Good but…

I love this game but sometimes the waves (specifically 1-20) feel very similar. It Also needs more specific paths for specific builds such as the carrier. I really like the bosses, you guys did well. it also needs an increased frequency of singularities.

Glad you're having fun! If you turn on some Challenge Modes, you can skip most of those starting waves, and also increase the frequency of celestial hazards!

Amazing build diversity!

I’ve played Nova Drift since Early Access on Steam and it’s great to have it now on iOS! Customizing your ship and trying to find fun, interesting, and/or powerful combinations of upgrades gives this game incredible replayability. The graphics, sounds, and music are all beautifully done. Everything fits together really well and Nova Drift will forever stand out in my mind as an example of excellent game design.

great game, anyway

please add a leaderborad button so you can look at your score and the top scores from the menu.
Best roguelike/roguelite ever (you can even play on mobile)
This is one of my favourite all time games.

Thank you for the great review! If you use the "Daily Challenge" game mode, which you may not have unlocked yet, you can compete in global leaderboards!

Fantastic, deep, outstanding replayability.

Love this game. Never write reviews, but this title needs all the love. No IAP, incredibly fun, and endless builds and strategies for success, as well as being flat gorgeous. Get it. Thank me later.

セーブデータが消える

iPhoneで実績もなかなかやったのに、iPadで起動した途端、スマホでのセーブデータが消えた………
苦労が……
好きなゲームなのでまた始めましたが、クラウドセーブ対応してほしいです

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. We'd thought we fixed the possibility of this happening already. It should theoretically already take saves from the cloud, so there must be an edge case where it can go wrong. Please be assured we are investigating. Thank you for your patience!

The Newest Update Sucks

In the game, the update continues to show up, can’t play any more. ——from one top ten records player of Game Center.

Suggestion

Love the rouglike and old school asteroid feel of the game. Here’s an idea maybe have bigger you play with like battleships and carriers and you can upgrade them and you can control them or have them as a support ship you can call in or use. Just an idea

Wonderful to hear you're enjoying it!

Not actually controller compatible

Touch controls suck. Game has an app-kill button that’s also a menu close button so app constantly shuts down when absentmindedly trying to exit a menu. This is due to the GameMaker engine not a dev-issue, but is still happening regardless on an app I’ve purchased based on controller use. Will update review some time after fix.

Fix the controls!

Bought this on Steam when it first came out and really happy to see this on mobile, so no problem paying twice.

Not sure what’s so hard about getting the dual stick controls right since there are literally thousands of other examples, so I’m a bit frustrated for a $10 game with an established presence and beta testers. It just stops registering input randomly and this doesn’t happen with other similar dual stick shooter games. Everything else in the game is slick, but the controls and UI around editing them is absolutely infuriating. Please fix!

First, I want to say that I appreciate the praise, and I'm grateful for your positive review despite the frustration you had for the controls. I'm very interested in how we can improve the experience of editing them and using the joystick, but I'm a little confused about what you'd like because Nova Drift isn't a Twin-Stick game? If your input stops registering that sounds like a bug or a hardware problem. Maybe we can chat over email or discord?

A great start

I have been playing the steam version of Nova Drift since it first released. I have enjoyed following along as the game has evolved from a rough pre-release into a complete and polished game. I was wondering if a mobile version would come out, and I’m glad it did. So far, it seems like a faithful recreation of the PC version. My only complaint is that mouse and keyboard support seems to be unfinished at this time. I’m sure they will be implemented in due time, and then I look froward to being able to play on my iPad.

Thanks so much for the review! I can look into turning mouse and keyboard on for mobile.

Tiny complaint don’t know if it’s global

I’ve been having a blast on this game but it’s been losing my progress/not auto saving other then that I’m happy this game is on mobile as remember watching gameplay and it being on my bucket list for so long

Stupid fun!

This is such a fun game, giving the sense of “one more run”. It is reminiscent of Geometry Wars and Asteroids. The music is great and the controls are responsive. A controller is highly recommended, though.

Love it but blast radius doesn’t work and hidden power doesn’t refund??

I LOVE THE GAME (love you chimeric) but I made a singular strike flack, so big booms, visually it’ll show a blast a quarter the screen but it’ll only kill what the projectile hit, just a small bug, but amazing game nonetheless

Hidden power let me keep magnitude, and didn’t refund it for whatever reason

You are welcome! That's nice to hear :) As for Singular Strike, I'll roll a build and try to reproduce the issue. I think that issue is just visual- if you have the "blast radius" mod it will work, but if you don't, it won't (which is correct), but it looks like it should.
