    Let's hope you'll get more attention with the new one, because i think you've got THE BEST biplane shooter in the AppStore. Cheers

    Its sad that some people may have missed out on this game because of skull art. I really hope you get more attention now with the current icon, and if you do I'll be happy for you.


    PS. Out of curiosity I googled "biplane nose art". Guess what? 99.9% came back with pin-ups. Well, you can always try that as an icon. :) just kidding

    i'm fine with either icon, can't say i pay attention to the icons when buying apps. only care about them after buying the app and trying to recall which app i'm after at any given time.

    my first impressions of a game are from the first screenshot of the rss feeds from appshopper.

    i give each new/changed app about a second of precious eyeball time, so whatever i see in that first shot is what i judge the app by.

    if i like what i see, i click the link to see the other screenshots, if i like them, i read the description.

    but if i had to choose one icon over another, i'd pick the new one probably, i like the slashed/scratched paint in the background of the newer one.

    Installed this on my iPad 2 in anticipation of the update, and have been having quite a bit of fun with it even in 2x mode. Got my guy up to level 14 so far, but once I get to wave 9 or 10 the bullet hoses bring me down fairly quick so progress has slowed somewhat.

    What are other people getting for level/wave number?

    Wave 8 was my ceiling. Can't remember my level. By that stage you really have to utilise the maneuvers. I'll start from scratch once the update hits.

    Finally decided to check it out today. Been forgetting for a while. Some good dogfighting is always some good fun. Can't wait for multiplayer mode.

    Yep it is. But I'm not sure if the update has already come online in all Appstores.

    Global dogfight and coop isn't working..we get to the GameCenter screen successfully, but when I click ready to launch the game, my friend stays o the screen she was on when I invited her. Same happens when she invites me and clicks ready when I'm connected already. It just says 'searching the skies' while the other person goes back to another screen :(. Running the current OS on the fourth generation.

    There appears to be a bug that sadly didn't present itself during sandbox testing: invitations do not work.

    Game Center Auto-match does work and so do local Dogfight and Co-op modes. As a workaround we recommend playing either locally or using Auto-match.

    We are working on a hotfix for this, sorry for the trouble.
