The market here in Myrtle Beach is performing much better - I don't think we're going to ever see sales like there were in 2005

Glad to see that a shooting game is finally taking advantage of the accelerometer and not just tapping.

@Odo, for even having that name you should KNOW that in star trek the borg had Cubes and Spheres as well as other geometric shapes for ships.

Borg Cubes (Star Trek) and Death Stars (Star Wars) in one game.

Looks like they've ripped alot of things off

probably worth the $1 though, as long as they dont get in trouble for copyright

Anyone notice the chaingun sound is borrowed from Counter Strike? It's the SAW Machine Gun

I also found the sounds to get annoying VERY quickly.

Hey, now that makes fun! And you can even reverse the direction. They learnt from StarSmasher .

Two very annoying things: It ALWAYS tries to get the online score. Hello? I don't have a connection in this building, so don't do this every time and annoy me with "can't get the online scores" messages during the gameplay. Just put "enable online scores" into the settings as a global switch and everything's perfect.

Ok, you shoot with tapping. If you want to shoot more, you tap more often. Ok. But what'l ALSO reacting on a double-tap? A dialog which asks if you want to go back to the main menu. ARGH! I got this 5 times during my first play and it's really really annoying. Please make the "tap area" for shootings bigger. You know, bug fingers and such things do happen .

The enemy ships are basically Borg cubes and spheres. You know, from Star Trek.

Very addictive gameplay, and the graphics are nice. Worth the $1.

I have to admit the graphics are kind of nice. I thought with the enemies being simple shapes the devs wouldn't have cared about anything looking nice. I still wish they would have made more of a game out of it though.

It seems like they're taking the Starsmasher approach and releasing a partial game in hopes of gaining interest. At least they're not charging more than $1.
