## What is Quintet?

You've always dreamed of shouting "Fire the torpedos! More power to the shields!" I have too, and this is why I built Quintet.

Quintet is a multiplayer space game where players work harmoniously to control the same ship. There are 5 roles: Captain, Helm, Tactical, Engineering and Science. How successful you are will depend on how well you all work together.

Quintet is especially fun to play in the same room with friends.  Don't be shy about playing out your roles in person and using strange accents. There are also one, two, three and four player ships available. 


Other Great Features:
* Desktops, Laptops, and iPads can all play together on the same ship. 
* Players ships can play with or against other player ships.

Note:
* Gameplay requires an Internet connection. 
* Quintet is graphics intense! Runs best on iPhone5 or iPad 2 and up!

## Key features

- Multiplayer spaceship control
- Five distinct player roles
- Cooperative gameplay
- Cross-platform play (desktop, laptop, iPad)
- Single, two, three, and four-player ships available
- Play with or against other player ships

### 1/5 — disappointed

*2020-04-04, version 16.0*

.

### 2/5 — How??

*2020-02-27, version 16.0*

How am I supposed to rate it if I can’t play it?? I can’t open it without crashing. Needs fixed.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-02-02, version 16.0*

Opening splash screen comes up then just exits out of the app. Tried restarting phone, reinstalling, and using a different device and no change.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2019-11-09, version 16.0*

The way the game plays to the sound design is fantastic

### 5/5 — Good game

*2019-08-29, version 16.0*

I am a big fan of this game and it’s fun style of gameplay but the game has not many players

### 5/5 — Quintet

*2019-08-11, version 16.0*

Love it. Can you play solo.

### 3/5 — Great Idea

*2019-08-04, version 16.0*

Great idea, pretty good execution. That being said absolutely no one plays this game so it’s useless. I tried multiple times to play multiplayer and only once was there one other person.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-09-04, version 15.0*

It is really good with nice controls that (if the controls r to big u can make them smaller in the settings) and a really good feel when u get a ship full of people and have loads of fun. If u added cargo and ship upgrades that would be so cool and u can have a couple saved ships that u made. Still amazing and especially how you've got it to work on iOS.

### 5/5 — Quintet is Good, Project Elpis is Better!

*2016-05-30, version 15.0*

The base game quintet is amazing, as a sci-fy shooter with rp elements it makes it unique. But if your brave enough to get the addition to the game it unlocks multiple gamemodes as well as a standalone game more focused on the RP elements of it. Great game and would love to see it rise in more players. I hardly spend any time in the base game and now spend all my time in the RP expansion Project Elpis.

### 4/5 — Great, most of the time

*2015-12-24, version 15.0*

This app is amazing, it handles really well, and it looks really cool. My one concern is that it doesn't work that well on my iPod touch 5th gen (laser repeats the countdown without pressing button, frame rate isn't amazing, but can be kinda fixed if you go into the options tab and lower the graphics quality). It's odd though, because it runs great on another iPod 5th gen and an iPhone 6. It's almost perfect, just has a few bugs it need to work out!
