Boring

Do not recommend for people who actually enjoy more intense strategy games. Very simple and not the strategic depth I wanted

Edit:

Hi Stefen!

I’m not sure how to write a response to you, so I hope you are able to find this. I feel like the over world and battles need a bit depth. I felt like the battles where just a simple rock paper scissor style of combat. It was really easy to just store up enough resources and over whelm the aponte. The over world didn’t seem to offer to much in the way of strategy either. I felt like all I had to do was find a place that would offer me the most resources and then send a huge fleet to destroy the enemy.

I think adding a larger over world and a more in-depth battle style would be nice. Maybe a little more hands on approach in a couple areas would help? Adding more depth in the AI would help. Since it’s not multiplayer, I think that’s where I would start.

I don’t want you to just focus on what I’m saying because you are obviously doing something right and I hope you know that I think that developing this app is very impressive. No hate form me at all. I just don’t think I would call it a deep strategy game.

Best wishes!

Response from developer

Hi Muffins-for-everyone, Do you think strategic depth could be intensified using the game mechanisms that are already in the game? Or would it need some new ones? I was thinking of making the maps larger with more planets so Deep Warp Gates could be placed more strategically, but I think the AI is not diverse enough in its approaches to Deep Warp Gate placement to exploit this properly once the human player figures out its placement strategy.

Multiplayer?

I love it but do you think you can add a multiplayer or hot seat or just a skirmish I think that would make it a bit better

Occasional Crashing

I wish I could rate this 5 star because it’s super addicting and fun, but I keep crashing whenever i fight the enemy mothership. It gets super annoying because I keep having to replay the level until it doesn’t crash.

Response from developer

Really sorry about this Snoiper. Just added a fix for this issue. It'll go live with version 1.2.5

Very disappointed

I was enjoying the game until it just started repeatedly crashing over and over again when ever I initiated combat. It seemed like a very enjoyable game when I first started playing but turned out to be a very annoying problem to the point where I deleted the game because it was unplayable. Would not recommend. 👎

Amazing game, multiplayer removed

I found this game to be amazing years ago, but I came back to find that multiplayer has been removed...

Bland, but want more

Arts great, setting is interesting. It's gameplay is absolutely bleh, but it's got enough eye candy art to keep your attention. I'd pay for the app if they polished the gameplay and focused more on the story.

Great game

Good game lots of strategy

Just great

An example of what makes a great game.

Really fun game

Really good and interesting game
But it gets a bit to of the same
Build the warp gates
Wait
Get money
Build ships
Send them in as one big fleet
Pray enemy doesn't have bigger fleet

This could be changed if you add a bonus to having multiple fleets
Also the mothership
Is the weakest ship in battle
If no other ship is active it gets get in 3 seconds
Make have some resistance e.g guns that shoot things on their lane once destroyed u can start destroying the ships health
Something like that
Just too much of the same thing
Kind similar to the other guys comment
But it's the truth

I came back for more!!!!

This is truly a singular game, with no game coming close to it!!! I had to delete it once to get more space. Then a year later I spent 2 hours searching for it again!!!!

Great visuals, but repetitive

Game starts out ok and seems to give you lots of upgrades to choose from. But considering the goal of the game and amount of turns you get... every. Single. Round. Is. The. Same.

Spam ships and beat enemy A.I

It only gets 'harder' by giving you less currency to start off with at the start of the game.

Gutes Spiel

Ich wage mal eine Renzension,obwohl ich noch am Spielen bin.Minimalistische aber sehr schöne Grafik und das beste:bombastisch-orchestraler sound mit sythiklängen.Mit Kopfhörern reist einen das ganze echt mit.Die Spieltiefe wird immer besser,weil man mit mehr Schiffen auch mehr Strategie hat.
EDIT:Wenn man die App installiert und dann deinstalliert zeigt Itunes das 100MB als "Andere" oder "Other" auf dem Iphone 5 zurück bleiben. Saubere deinstallation sieht anders aus.

Gut!

^titel

Very fun!

Love these type of indie games, love the strategy and the story.

Not bad

It's ok for a free game. Gameplay is quick but feels repetitive. The Sci-Fi concept is interesting and it's what kept me playing for a bit. Overall I feel like it needs more depth, graphics, and the ability to skip Mothership explosions.

Finally

Finally a game that's original, addicting, interesting and fun to play all at the same time. It's like every great strategy game on PC in the plam of your hand. The fighting is spectacular, the story is engrossing and the combat is intuitive. How is it that this isn't the number one game on the app store?

Can't Stop

This is an incredible game I can't seem to take my eyes off it or put it down every attribute about this game is amazing and I'm glad it's not one of those "waiting" type games because I honestly hate those games. 5 stars must have.

Superbly implemented game

From a technical perspective this game is superlative in every way. Its gameplay is clean, crisp, and straightforward. It doesn't crash. It doesn't lag. What you get are five-minute chunks of easy, enjoyable fun.

There are three areas where the developers could improve it, however.

First would be a longer single player campaign with more frequent dialog and perhaps even a few meaningful player-driven plot choices would be nice.

Second would be minor UI tweaks. For example, they should add a "back" button so that you could go back to see dialog that you accidentally tapped past. There should also be an option to skip the agonizingly slow death animation of a mothership.

Third, the mechanic for earning Research Points is flawed. The 5RP penalty for taking extra turns is ridiculous. What's the point of saving up RP to buy the expensive ships if you're going to get penalized for playing slowly enough to be able to afford to deploy them? The current model rewards only one strategy: rush to the enemy ASAP and mass produce cheap fighters. I feel this should be reworked-- and by that I mean, drastically overhauled.

Despite the above, I will say this is one of the best coded and most consistently fun games I have ever downloaded on an iPhone. I definitely recommend it.
