    Funny, I'm working on the same type of game - my temp name was alpha quadrant. Don't think I'll use that now.

    It seems to be a scrolling space shooter with vector graphics and techno music?
    nice main ship
    I like it a lot so far! Power up

    (See also Space Invaders infinity gene and R Rootage... )
    I'll make a techno shooter at some point!
    In the mean time, see my radarhead? =:-){

    Edit; oh I see you already have tilt. Great!

    Picky advice:

    It does seem to be less than obvious what are the enemies and such.
    Though I'm watching on a very small screen at the moment

    Also, try and add tilt control with accelerometer

    It's not actually a shooter, it's an avoid em up. It started out as a shooter, but with the enemies and everything on the screen, it did not run too well.
    I am hoping future updates of gamesalad will allow me to turn it into a shooter. I already have most of the enemies ready to go...

    Maybe I should add the controls screen in the video so you can see that it has a tilt option.

    Actually I noticed afterward that you did have tilt. My bad! ;-)

    So you mean the gs engine couldn't handle all the shots and stuff without slowing down?
    Uh oh...

    Did you try simplifying or deleting the background elements?
    Everything takes up gPU power I guess, so prioritizing is in order

    I'd really like to do a shooter at some point with LOTS of stuff on the screen,
    I hope this is possible!

    so you trailer is playing on 3GS?

    I also want to make a shooting game & do some work, but maybe wait for next version of GS!
  • hrsmediahrsmedia Member Posts: 522
    @goliath thanks, hope you enjoy it.

    @franzkeller I did try using very lightweight images, and not spawning the enemies etc. but didn't really work out too well. I'm working on something for another project... ;)

    @victorkin111 I recorded the trailer on iPhone simulator.
