Very nice, especially the visuals - you did a great job!

Some minor feedback:

- I couldn't figure out how to start the game - I'm probably a bit thick, but it took me a while ;-)
- is there any other control mechanism other than tilt? The iPad 1 gets a bit heavy after a while.

Otherwise a very polished game - hopefully you will do well!

Hei ciao

Hey thanks for your fast test on our game and ready for fast review !! :-)

Hei yes the controller is particular system ... at the moment only by accelerometer ... but i think we dev different system in the future by buttons or joystick (in future upgrade).

Thank you again

I work for next upgrades ;-)

Congrats, Andrea! Bought my copy yesterday.

I'm with Scott, would be nice if there's a different control scheme.

The game looks amazing. Who's your artist?

@Andrea - Thanks for the artist info.

Astro Slayers run smoothly on iPhone 5 resolution but I am having performance issues with my apps on iPhone 5. Did you run into any performance issues with iphone 5(graphics are not smooth)?

@Johnny, we've got some new apps for the iPhone 5 in the next couple of weeks and all run smoothly on the iPhone 5. We didn't make any engine changes. We are now using 1.5 with custom mods.

@Scott, that helps alot. Thanks.

@Johnny, there was a performance fix in 1.5 which we also back-ported to our 1.4 That might have made a difference. I think there is a reference to it in the 1.5 thread. I'm off out now but will see if I can find it later.

so I fixed my slowdown issue. It seems I was setting up the screen resolution wrongly. Thanks Andrea and Scott.

Anyway, sorry for the thread jacking. Lets get this thread back on track. Astro Slayers is one good looking game.
