Hey GS folks this is our new game called Phasers its for iphone , ipod touch and ipad. Please watch the video and let me know what you think about it. There is 3D effect on tilting backgrounds but i couldn't record that.
Does it run on the ipod touch? There are a lot of actors on a screen at once with a lot of spawning... I was just wondering if you have noticed any slow down on the device whilst testing at all?
Looks killer!! I love shooters and that one looks great. Ill check it out for sure when it goes live.
Only thing i would have to say (if you even want my opinion) is be careful. That Hubble image is pretty famous. I dont know if its public domain or not.
All of our graphics are either public domain or we have permission to use them in the game.
I've tested on two devices.. the iPad and the iPhone 3GS. There is no slow down whatsoever on the iPad. On the iPhone 3GS, we never get enough actors on the screen to have a significant slow down. During development, when you lost all your lives, "Game Over" would popup on the screen, but the level would keep playing in the background. Pretty soon there would be 100+ actors (bullets and all) on the screen, and the game would slow to a crawl, freeze, then crash on the iPhone 3GS. So we simply changed it so that it would pause the game when it's Game Over. The iPad doesn't have this issue.
Since you are obviously oblivious to this fact, let me inform you that hijacking a thread in the manner in which you have is completely rude. Especially to peddle your crapplication.
Normally I would just let it slide and ignore your post, but I'm saving that for the inevitable thread that gets started for your "game".

I think it would certainly struggle on anything older than a 3GS - at least that's been my experience with my own top down shooter.
Thanks for the update!
