Tractor Beam Hack 1.5000.6 + Redeem Codes

This game is very underrated. I’m so happy it’s still available after 9 years. It’s also apparently been updated with new features like a timed mode.

I’ve had many apps and games on my phone, but this one has been a staple. Solid gameplay, retro graphics. It’s a modern classic. I wish more games were like this one. I’m a sucker for vector graphics look and feel.

It’s more fun than actually playing an Asteroids clone on the iPhone because of the control scheme.

I just wish there were more modes... the new timed mode is a step in the right direction. Maybe some day the developer could include a weapons mode or a rival mode where there’s an enemy spacecraft? Maybe a hyperspace button that can be used once or twice to save you from collision? Or a shield? Or alternative ships, like ones that look like the old cinematronics space war ships? It’s encouraging that after 9 years the developer is still updating this.

This game should not be abandoned. I hope to see continued support for it and who knows.. maybe now after 9 years a Tractor Beam 2 is in order.

If you like retro games, play this game!

It’s amazing honestly . Admire simplicity. The one who admire is complicity is a dummy but one who admires simplicity is a genius.

This game is great except for a problem with the gameplay. The most annoying one is if you die with many asteroids on the screen you have to wait about 7 seconds for them to pass. This is exceptionally annoying on the timed runs because you sit there while the game wastes time. When you die, all the asteroids on screen should disappear so you can resume immediately.

Not a lot to it and yet it's pretty cute and compelling. Your score is entirely based on the distance you make (up if in portrait mode). It supports multi-touch so my favorite move so far is to find to asteroids up ahead and have them sling me up ahead and then use whichever rocks I find while whizzing by to correct my course. It's interesting to see how the implement the harder difficulty levels. Smaller area, more rocks, faster moving, and your tractor beam will not simply pull you to the rocks but will also do more to pull the rocks to you.

The controls are pretty simple and intuitive but it can be frustrating when you, for example really need to pull to the left but there aren't any asteroids to the left to pull to. Although a few game in I caught that it is wrap around although when tractoring I think the game always draws the quickest onscreen line to the object (so your ships can wrap around but not your tractor beams).

Even if you only p,ay it for a few minutes, it will be a FUN few minutes. And if you back to it again you just may find it addixtive.

Old school graphics with a fairly unique gameplay mechanism. I found myself wishing that there was something else to do, like collect special floating bonuses, but, its fun as is.

Certainly worth a buck. I've paid more for crud. My hat is off for the developer who came up with this idea.

Deceptively simple. Very well done. Incredibly addictive. When I feel like playing a quick game on my iPad, Tractor Beam is inevitably the one I pick.

The rules are simple, but it's astoundingly difficult but in a fun "I will get through this time for sure!!" kind of way. The graphics are reminiscent of 'omega race' for you old schoolers. One of the most well executed games for touch interface.

Did I mention it's REALLY fun?

Finally, a game that looks sounds and feels like when I started playing asteroids
The generative music goes seamlessly with the sound efx and the controls are perfect for the touch screen. So easy and so hard. Just the thing that used to have me spending all of my allowance in quarters at the arcade. At .99 its a steal
This is the best vector based game for the iPhone. IMHO. And the first time I've felt like writing a review

Thanks!!!!!

Not only is this the best iPhone game I've ever played, but perhaps the greatest game ever played known to man. If this app were a god, I would praise it's name all the day long. I would sing joyous hymns of heavenly blessings to my dear sweet lord. Oh powerful and all knowing tractor beam hear my words of unconditional love and devotion. Do yourselves a favor and buy this app and start the rest of your life off with absolute contentness. Amen.

Great use of multitouch too! Game runs super smooth on my 3GS, and has a surprising amount of depth.

A couple of suggestions/complaints. It sometimes hangs on load. It seems weird to me that I'm playing in a cylinder (i.e. the top of the screen wraps around to the bottom), yet my tractor beam doesn't wrap around the cylinder. Finally, as I think other reviewers have suggested, it would be nice to have leaderboards, achievements, etc. Thanks for making such a great game!

Fun concept, not much of a game though. Could use many more features, right now it's very bare-bones and unexciting. (Not even leaderboards?) Most of my deaths are inevitable due to flawed design, I've found myself stuck with no options many times. I know it's supposed to look like asteroids, but the graphics are bland, and the wireframe look has been done a thousand times. Ugly icon too. Lack of creativity, uniqueness, and features is mostly what's holding this down.
