Looks great!

There is a problem with the controls (or at least I don't understand them).
I also recommend you to add android:targetSdkVersion="14" to the manifest editor. This will remove the unnecessary menu button.

The graphics are very smooth.

Erel Thanks for your answer!

The movement is very very very soft, simply hold down the screen and slide your finger a few millimeters to the left and right to move the ship to the end. It may not be very intuitive, but it's the best way I've found to control movement and shooting with one finger. To fire you just need to click on the screen, if below the ship fired a single shot, if above the ship, fired two quick shots if you have enough energy.

Your advice SDK included: 14 in the next update.

Thank you!!!

Thank you for you interest!!!

I think the problem may be that your device has a version lower than 3.0

GameView Being Developed with hardware acceleration and it needs to be 3.0+

This is the link to google I just play review:

Cool game. I agree about the controls, they are a little difficult. In particular it is hard to move and shoot at the same time.

 

[CapReed]

Thank you!

About the control, should be as I spent so many hours testing it at the end I find it extremely comfortable control mode ... :sign0013:

The trick is to not lift your finger from the screen and move it slightly left and right to move the ship. One must get up when you want to shoot, shoot and even do a slight shift to the ship to move even shooting.

But it is clear that if you it seems difficult to control is that I improved. I'll see how I solve it. :sign0148:

Thank you very much for your comment.

Nice, but indeed the controls are not 100% working sometimes it doesn't "catch" the tapping and doesn't fire at all.

there is a typo in the text when the game is over, "Can yoy rate" or something like that.

 

[Jaames]

The controls are just fine. Looks great on my galaxy note 2.
Good job! :sign0098:

Sorex, my friend, thanks for your comment. I tested the app in five phones and tablets and has always worked well the shot, back to try and fix the problem you have with the shot.

Still, tell you that there are two types of shooting, which is produced by pressing at the height of the ship or below, and you should always work with the lack of established, and a much faster second shot that only works when pressed above the ship and there is enough stored energy. The Energy indicator is below the ship, is a bar that grows when killig aliens. Goes from red to green, and when energy is consumed fast shot does not work.

I think the problem you refer may be related to what I explained above.

But your comment is very interesting to me that this course should include a little help to explain these details in the application itself.

Again, thank you very much everyone for your advice.

ok, now I get it.

I was just tapping with the right pointing finger in the right side of the screen which was the double shot.

I thought the red bar was an energy bar and when it was completely gone you die,
but when having a closer look it seems that bullets don't even have an effect on you energy or "life". The bar is actually the double shot amount that's left.

So it probably ran out of double shots that's why it didn't shoot anymore.

 

[CapReed]

That's right!

When there is energy, the alien fire that hit the ship just subtract energy without killing the ship. This energy acts as a kind of "protective field". At the same time, when you have energy you can use the double shot. The energy is recharged mainly when you kill the aliens in flight. Perhaps this is a bit complicated for a space shooter, but I'm a little bit complicated.
