Great, the old version was WAY too hard for me, I'm guessing at least 90% of people who bought it didn't get any further than level 2!
Lookig forward to the email to get the new version! Kevlar -------------------- |

This new easier version rocks. I can actually get to the boss at the end of the first level... and if I stop doing dumb things I'll beat him...
Running on My C500 I've found my favourite control layout is mode 2 with 2 Up/left 3 Up/Right 5 Down/Left and 6 down/Right Holding both 3,6 gives me straight forwards etc. * for fire... works a treat. I think I'm gonna end up missing my stop on the tube because of this. -------------------- Like a monkey ready to be shot off into space. Spacemonkey. Ready to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

I could get to level 6 every time on the original game, and it drove me nuts that I could never get past that part. On the original game it was just a matter of memorizing where everything came from, how many times it shot, and making sure that you never died a single time, because you really needed that max fire-power and speed on the later levels.
I am really excited to see the "director's cut." I have always felt this is one of the best games on the smartphone, well worth every penny I paid for it, and a great challenge to master. Hopefully we will see those emails soon that tell us how to upgrade. I bought my copy through Handango, though, and they tend to be slow to get updates sometimes . . . |
