Shmup Hack 1.5 + Redeem Codes

I think the reason people rate this game well is because they haven't been past act 2....well unfortunately there is nothing past act 2. The game ends because the developer needs more money to actually finish the product. He released a patch recently so he is still working on it. Buy the game, support this project, and he will have the funds required to finish it eventually.

Game won’t even open.

Using iPhone XS Max, App Store says “works on this phone”. Please fix, I’d love to play this!

Game wont even open

First off, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this OS4.0 available! I've really been wanting to play this since you've incorporated swipe controls!

Now for my review...

This, along with Phoenix, are my two favorite shoot-em-ups in the appstore (that run on my 2nd GEN...) ISUD is pretty decent as well... but I'm getting off topic...

With the update, adding swipe controls, a point system, lives... this game has become VERY playable. And VERY challenging! I've just scored 6,000,000+ in Phoenix, and I can't get past Act II in this game. Having difficulty settings is kind of pointless though. The enemies are not harder on "hard" or easier on "easy" - on hard, you get two lives, easy = 6... or 7... but there's no change in actual gameplay. If in hard mode you made the enemies shoot faster, or more projectiles, that would make this game A LOT better!

That being said, this is still a 5 star app, especially at 99 cents. The frame rate is solid (even on my 8GB), the graphics are pretty decent (the enemies pink ball projectiles look kind of fruity... but in Act II, some of the enemies blue+grey/silver projectiles look pretty bad@$$... hehe), I don't see anything about Retina Display in the description, so I'm guessing it looks the same on newer generation iDevices... but it's also never crashed, and given me hours of entertainment.

Thank you for keeping with this game, and planning on making updates and changes to it in the future. Can't wait! =o)

Should easily be 5 stars especially at its price of 99 cents, great graphics and awesome quality game overall, but unfortunately, I don't know what game looks like past act 2...I'm a huge fun of frustratingly difficult games, but it catches me off guard finding that type of thing in this genre...multiple scenes in each act require u to figure out the 1 specific set of steps you must take to not be killed in a situation that u have no chance of shooting your way out of...fun, until u run out lives and have to start the entire game all over again. After 2 days of this, I'm annoyed.

In short this game desperately needs a continue button so that players who aren't hard core enough to spend hours and hours on each act memorizing exactly how to not die, may actually get to see and enjoy the rest of the game...it's the difference between this game being awesome instead of annoying

This game is everything I could want in a shoot 'em up, however there needs to be customizable controls. I much prefer swipe/auto fire than a tiny d-pad. My fingers get in the way of the action so much it hurts. I really want to play this game, but the current control setting is so off putting. If there were some different controller configurations such as swipe/auto fire and things like that, this would EASILY be a 5 star game. Here's to hoping the controls get improved. Great job on an awesome game!

In a single update, this caring dev has just produced one of the finest vertical shooters on iOS. The brilliant 3-D engine rivals what you've seen from AAA development teams, and backs it up with fantastic ship designs and bullet patterns. The soundtrack and audio create a moody futuristic vibe. Control is now pitch-perfect, and scoring is handled through Game Center.

Fans of hardcore vertical shooting and quality indie developers should grab Shmup without delay.

PS- GameCenter doesn't work on pre-3rd gen devices running pre-iOS 4.0.

The game seams interesting in enough itself. But it's kinda freakin hard. L00l

ship needs better defenses

If only this controlled like the Cave shmups!!! The visuals/music are great but the controls BLOW. Weird virtual d-pad crap. Floaty ship blah.
