One of the most impressive elements is the system of game progress: it’s truly innovative, and let’s you choose either to limp through levels with one life and limited power, or to play more carefully and to conserve life/power. There’s more depth here than you’d expect, and it’d probably be easier to appreciate if there were some kind of tutorial built into the game.... ### 4/5 — Requires iOS 9 *2015-09-23, version 1.1* I like the improved gameplay. It runs great on my iPhone 6 that is running iOS 9. Unfortunately, my iPad 4 is running 8.4 because I'm waiting to see if iOS 9.1 provide will improved performance. Requests: iOS 8 Support iCloud Support MFi Game Controller Support Thanks! ### 2/5 — So-so, but nothing great *2014-08-17, version 1.1* Too repetitive, too easy for too long. Plus, this is a TOTAL Tempest rip-off! If you're going to rip an existing game off, please improve on the design & try to bring something new to it... ### 2/5 — Not so hot *2014-04-15, version 1.1* I found control to be awkward and fairly non responsive. Perhaps this is by design, but I don't think so. ### 5/5 — Great game *2014-03-31* Revitalized my addiction to Tempest. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-03-28, version 1.0* I love this game & has been my go to game since I got it. I usually don't review games even when they bribe you w/coins or points to do so, no only what I consider a really good game do I review. One of the negative reviews I read said that all the good reviews were either related or new the developer but I don't believe it because I'm not related nor do I know them & I give it 5 stars. When I first started playing it would boot me out sometimes on the 4th level sometimes other levels; as you know this is very frustrating but I liked it so much I kept trying & then it started after booting me out when I opened it up again would open to the same level I was on when it booted me out; which made it a little better but still frustrating. I've been playing for a few days now & it pretty much stopped booting me out even though I don't know why. I've made it to level 35, once you get to level 25 you can start there every time if you want to. The next save level is 50. There have been complaints about the controls but I hope they don't change them because if you would just play a little while & get used to them you would realize that the way the controls work are part of the awesomeness of this game! On some levels it's like trying to pat your head, rub your stomach, walk & blow a bubble all at the same time. All you do is move your finger left & right but the way the track (for lack of a better word) is I find my finger going all different directions because of the perception you see while playing. Yes it starts out easy but just keep playing & I love the jump button, it also takes time to realize how cool it is & how to make it work for you. I've never written a review so long but felt I needed to tell people how much fun this retro shoot-em-up game is. Some are comparing it to tempest which I've never played but think I would like it but the point is don't compare it just enjoy it for what it is and for the price you can't beat it! ### 1/5 — What a disappointment! *2014-03-27, version 1.0* I watched and read the and I'm confident that the positive reviews are from the developers and their friends. I was a HUGE Tempest fan and was really excited about this game. Especially since it was less than a buck. Boy was I wrong. The controls are HORRIBLE! Bad movement and horrendous firing mechanism. DELETE!!! Maybe the next update will make me change my mind. Sorry! ### 5/5 — Beautiful... *2014-03-27, version 1.0* ..if only every Tempest clone was this good... ### 4/5 — Awesome game *2014-03-27, version 1.0* Love tempest so it's obvious I would love this game. Only thing I don't like is making us start completely over when killed. It really is hard to play. Please make it a bit more easier. ### 1/5 — Fun for 2 min *2014-03-26, version 1.0* Level 2 does not work on my iPad mini ## Frequently asked questions about TriBlaster ### What kind of game is TriBlaster?
