Let me first and foremost say that this is now one of my all-time favorite games on the iPhone. While it lacks in any sound or sound effects the gameplay is very hands on and the random levels are challenging and leave you wanting to go back and replay it more and more.Suggestions for future updates:- Main Menu (ft. Play, Resume, High Scores, Settings, Help, Exit)- Sound / Sound Effects (but still allow the user to control these in a settings panel so they can listen to their own music)- High Score (show both local and global leaderboard)- Help (listing of the types of enemies, and listing of powerups)- Add powerups (multiple guns, explosive charges, lasers, seek-n-destroy missiles, planetary pulse, planet life boost, allied ships providing support)- Alternate Modes of Play (ex. Timed Challenge... complete a mission in an alloted time)- Challenge friends directly or at least offer and "email a friend a challenge"- Look and Feel (the blue and red of the game is great, but you need to have a tighter adherence to the style in the pause button and high score screens)Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing how this app develops out!

I’ve had this game since my first iPhone 3G in 2010 and it’s always been one of my favorites. However, I haven’t been able to play this game in several years because of incompatibility with modern iOS. Suddenly, and update comes from the developer several days ago, in 2019, claiming to bring compatibility to the game with modern phones, however the game still does not launch. I thought the developer had stopped working on the game, however that doesn’t seem to be the case, although, whatever compatibility tweaks were incorporated in the latest update were not implemented correctly.

This game was my favorite back when I got my first iPod touch many years ago. It warms my heart to see it’s still around and still works on my new phone.

I looked at the title to see if it was another TD type game, but it's something very different. You've got to keep your planet safe from a huge alien invasion. To do this you tilt your phone/touch back and forth to shoot them down... oddly enough I couldn't help but thinking about movies about the miracle of birth while playing (you'll see what I mean when you play it).The game plays fast and the graphics are simple yet very cool and futuristic at the same time. the shooting is easy once you get the hang of it, but it is certainly not an easy game... the challenge is there big time.For me one of the best features was how they handled the "health meter". In this game you've got a count of how many lives your planet has -- and then you watch it go down as the aliens get past you. It's one thing to see your health bar go down, but another thing all together to see that you missing that one guy just cost 100,000 people their lives! I was really freaking out when I'd realized that I'd already lost over 4 million people! That beats the old health bar hands down!You also will have different angles on the various levels and you even end up with your planet in the middle and you having to rotate your device 360 degrees to fend off the alien scum. Yes... you will be swearing by the end of the game... but in a good way.It's a well spent buck and wonderful way to kill some time -- and keep the planet alive.
