Great game but needs UI improvement

I want to give this a 5 but cant because the game should be full screen on iphone 5 and the UI should be enhanced with no thumb pad because you can use your left thumb to move freely with auto fire. Both thumbs activate the special and the right thumb while holding can activate time shift. Simple:) Try that and you have my 5*****. Also screenshots a bit deceptive as it looks full screen and the actual game is less than that ( much less for the iPhone 5)

Freemium tactic in a premium game

Bought this for my son (10 years old). This game was developed with a rating of ages 9+, but requires you to link to a Facebook account to be able to use all features (saving, leaderboards, etc.). But Facebooks terms of service require you to be over the age of 13 to create a Facebook account. I could see crippling features like this in a freemium game, but not in a $6 premium game. The graphics are spectacular but if you are using an iPad the gameplay only takes up about half the screen and the controls are way too small on an iPad. Because of the crippled features well be requesting a refund.

Horrible Controls

Never played the game before and was looking forward to it on my iPhone and iPad, but the controls are horrible! Why would any developer create a control system like this(virtual D pad) when Cave has showed time and time again how to do a SHUMP on touchscreen devices(and many other developers now). Digital Reality please change your control scheme and dont waste peoples money on sloppy ports!

Bleh. COULD be good but....

I cant stand the black bars and the lack of gameplay viewing area. I also cant stand any game wanting me to log in facebook. If you at least improve the games viewing area id bump to 4-stars

Controls are Game Breaking

My biggest gripe with them was the d-pad. Why they chose to place it in such a static location beats me. It doesnt work. If you take your finger off the screen for just a second and then place it back on, the game will not recognize your touch relative to the new location you just placed your finger but to the location of the statically placed d-pad at the bottom left of the screen. What does this mean? Well... it means that if you lift your finger and stray even the smallest amount away from the center of this static d-pad then your plane will start to move in that direction. Why is this so bad? This is bad because when your in the heat of battle and dodging a barrage of bullets from enemy planes, precision movement is key in order to not be hit. Pretty much every time I played the game to give it a serious go, this small quirk has gotten in the way— Every. Single. Time. Other than that, the game is fantastic. The presentation and graphics are top notch for an iOS game. I wasnt able to get very far into the game to see how the story fleshes out but it appears to not be half bad. Therefore, I will merit the game an extra star for these pros for a two star rating. Its a shame. Ive always been a fan of the genre since the U.N. Squadron days on the SNES. I really wanted to enjoy this game but unfortunately this issue is game breaking for me...

Great app

Just like consoles controls are fine I like it the way its is dont worry bout negative comments

Pathetic port of a great shooter

Awful doesnt even begin to describe the control implementation in this version of sine mora. And in a game where split second maneuvers are needed to save from frustrating defeat, Its enough to ruin what would otherwise be a great experience.

Dont buy

Pictures on the app are very misleading and the controls are too lose for the small screen and tight game play. Asking for my money back.

What the heck? What were you thinking?

You have to use Facebook to save the freaking game. Hey devs, been developing games long? Have you ever even spoken to anyone who plays games before? How could you possibly think this is a good idea? How could you possibly NOT MENTION this in the app description? Not only is this poor design, probably lazy, if there could be a reason/excuse, but its downright deceptive to sell us a game that cannot be saved. Thats a bit of an important feature, if I may be the first to inform you. Also, great job using about 60% of the screen. It irritates me on the ipad and I cant imagine what it must look like on the iPhone. This must be laziness, again. And, if you have a device with a retina screen, this game just looks absolutely awful on it. Other than that, great game! One star for your deception and laziness, but you may keep my money because youre not one of those disgusting freemium developers and I trust you WILL fix this travesty. I just cant believe you would willingly ruin your own game.

almost 5 stars.

needs minor refinements, full screen display, Id really say 3.5 stars. BUT still no Gamecenter support, and sensitivity adjustments for relative touch inputs, and FULL SCREEN, and customizeable button layouts. almost every game out there this is standard equipment. i do like this update. defininatly going in the right direction, just a lil bit further guys the finish line is right there.

Great game!

Sine is a well rounded game, it is easily appreciated by all types of gamers. Although not optimized for iPod 4, it will still run( a little sluggish). Im sure developers will optimize soon. Rating 5 stars because game is absolutely gorgeous! This game will go far! Hopefully maybe a more diverse level up system in the future! :) PLEASE OPTIMIZE FOR OPOD4!!!

FULL SCREEN?

This game is impossible to play on iPhone, black bars and extremely small game area, please make it FULL SCREEN

touch control patch

thanks for adding touch controls, now this game is actually playable

A lot has been said.

I think it is worthy of 5

No full screen no multitasking

Is not full screen and foes not support multitasking!

Excellent

Everything about this game is first class. Highly recommend.

Getting closer

Well... Even after the update (which Im grateful for) controls dont seem to work as expected. Just a little more tweaking and youll get your masterpiece finished. Its a great game and even though theres no full screen support and its kinda hard to play it, Ill still recommend it to every shmup fan. Thanks for this game. Ps: Are dialogues in latin too? Because thats awesome!

Lazy port of great PC game

Low resolution, letter boxed graphics, poor frame rate and virtual d-pad controls. Yuck. Get this on Steam. The iOS port is terrible.

Cry cry!

I dont know why people are crying about this game...its absolutely awesome!

Control needs improvment

One of important thing the developers miss is the feel of control in the game. It has to be somewhat changed or improved to make it feel natural when it comes to control a small plane in the game. This feels almost like done all the homework but didnt review some parts.
