Greetings everyone,

As many of you know I started making apps when I stopped making plugins. I recently released one of my apps that took quite a bit more effort than many of my others. As such I am pushing it pretty hard.

I am seeking honest feedback on the app. So please let me know your thoughts. The app is free with no advertisements. I do sell in app purchases but they are not required to play the game.

The game is called Spacejet: Galaxy Conquest.
It is available for ios only. If it is successful I will port it to android.

Here is the iTunes link:

Here is a YouTube video of gameplay

If you like it please like it on Facebook

Thank you!

you were quite right the youtube link was broken. thank you.
 
Not bad. Reminds me of Galaga on steroids though.
 
I had a lot of problems with the controls when it came to movement. It seemed under-responsive, but it could just be fat-fingering things. It may be worth increasing the size of the left and right arrows a little bit to help with that. As for the content, as others said it's a Galaga clone, but not a very entertaining one. The gameplay is simplistic and bland and not something I would honestly pay for.

The graphics could use some polishing, more detail to the enemy ships and the players ships. The missile was neat as an attack, but worthless as it did the same thing the blaster did. Maybe simplify things and make it the blaster only? Less on the screen to press the more of the screen is visible.

More polishing might make this a little more entertaining, but it's too easy and too simplistic with poor controls. This was done on Iphone4.
 
I only watched the video so haven't played it yet, but I was surprised and slightly bummed that when the missiles hit they don't do any kind of explosion. I watched the first missile and was like sweet this is going to be awesome, got ready to make an explosion sound in my head when it hit, but then nothing. If you could add even a small effect it would look cooler.
 
i appreciate the feedback guys. The app was developed for ipad and scaled down for iphone. Kodi you are quite right it can be difficult to play on iphone due to the controls. I myself fatfinger it all the time. Haterofall, it does make an explosion sound when the enemy dies. I found that doing one every hit just sounded annoying. I may look into an explosion graphic though.
 
Kodi has fat fingers....Huge bloated circus clown type graspers with furry knuckles...all over me...hmmmm
