I genuinely enjoy this game.

One of the first mobile games I played was phoenix two I still play it from time to time. When I saw this game on the App Store I was almost Instantly impressed by the visual design. I bought it and downloaded it and now I’m trying to unlock annihilation mode, I will probably buy the game on steam soon and I can’t wait for the next update to come out. I hope this game grows bigger and more levels are added.

Phenomenal

Deeply satisfying game that puts most of mobile gaming to shame. The game is gripping, interesting, and perfect for passing time. Would highly recommend if looking for a staple on your phone

Brilliant

I love it.

Phenomenal game

5 Stars

Awesome!

I’m really enjoying this game.

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.

Nyooom

We nyoooming with this one

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.

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.

Stopped Loading

I tried to play this week and I just get a black screen. It used to load fine before.

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.

Response from developer

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.

really good

I got this game because it looked fun.
But I accidentally killed the final boss on my first serious attempt :(

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

Response from developer

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

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!
