    I just took this one NH9PFH4MKM9M

    Looks very entertaining.. congratulations..

    the only suggestion I got is in the up and down and fire buttons make higher resolutions icons so it doesn't look like a low res pixeleated icon.. Other than that the graphics and music are pretty great. Just left my review on itunes :)

    No problem mate, Thanks for supporting it, I noticed your post :)

    Sorry for the late reply to, my internet crashed....

    Not to bad, it's pretty retro.

    I think it's starts off to hard and you get to powerful to soon if you last long enough, I find I can just spam across the top most of the time and I kick ass.

    The Graphics are sort of basic (in a sense) but I think thats sort of feel you're trying to give it? I noticed some of the enemies are very blurry.

    When you unlock all those cool weapons and you goto the next level and you don't have them anymore it's sort of a buzz kill to.

    I noticed the missles/lasers you fire spawn from the back of the helicopter. You know you can set them up so they spawn in x +24 of helicopter, so it looks like it's firing from a certain point.

    It's a pretty cool little game but I think it needs some fine tuning.
    Also maybe throw some planets in the every new level or something, the backgrounds are all pretty much the same and leaves you feeling like you're not really going anywhere.

    The game definitely has that addictive little buzz to it though,

    Hope that helps

    Congratulations on the release!

    Much appreciated! I'll look into addressing your points.

    Balancing the power-ups is certainly a good recommendation.

    First and foremost, congrats on the release! Always exciting to have a new app go on the store :)

    I agree with that ozboybrian said above. In addition I do have some suggestions for you.

    The rockets seem no different than the lasers, the only place it see an actual affecting difference is on the boss at the end, perhaps have them explode after X amount of time, blasts can help take out more enemies. In addition to the weapons, perhaps have new weapons replace each other, so instead of collecting the other guns and being able to fire all of them at once, which I found removed the challenge, have it like any other shmup, once you collect a new gun, it replaces the current one you use.

    Most annoying thing I found was control responsiveness, sometimes the buttons would not react after I gave input, thus my character not moving. Got me killed a few times. In regards to movement, I feel like the character should move all the way up and down, instead of being limited to moving no further than above the buttons, perhaps look into a tilt option for control?

    Perhaps add some more graphical pzazz to the backgrounds instead of a color change.

    Remember this is just my opinion on some constructive criticism. You have a solid foundation for a game and I hope you extend the life of your title with new updates that add features and fixes.

    :)

    I've been playing it too and I agree with ozboybrian & nexusgamestudio. I like the retro graphics, but i'm pretty old!
  • RushDawgRushDawg Member Posts: 86
    Fantastic suggestions Nexus! I will definitely look into them. Seems like unbalanced power-ups and controls are the two most common concerns.

    On a humorous note, someone suggested that the game be updated to have a story. Here's what they recommended:

    In the future, Earth is under attack by hordes of interstellar monsters. They've already destroyed our satellites, planes and space shuttles. Our only hope is to use helicopters equipped with special technology that allows them to fly in space. Are you bad enough to pilot these helicopters in space and save the planet from aliens?

    Friendly reminder for those who've used a code to please leave a rating on iTunes. Additional feedback is always appreciated as well.

    Have a great weekend all!
