Lacking Multiplayer

I bought the game almost a month ago to play the multiplayer. So far, I still have yet to be able to match up with any players online. It’s always only (1) player online (me!). I’ve tried manually selecting regions and still same results. Maybe if the game was cheaper $0.99 or even FREE (with in game purchases available for customizing) they could get a ton more players on the platform and it would grow so much faster. I believe this is an awesome game with great online potential but as it sits, not enough people are buying it and actively playing online. I would easily give this a 5 star rating if I could play JUST ONE online multiplayer game. Honestly, I would have spent more money in-game to customize versus cost to purchase the game itself.

Issue with controller

Tried using my ps4 controller on my iPad Pro and it works in the menus but when I get into the game I can not move the ship with the analog sticks or the dpad. All other buttons seem to be working just not the movement. Please fix 🙏🏼 I tried binding my analog stick to movement but nothing happens and I have to restart the game in order to get out of the “binding” screen. Also kind of strange all of the buttons on the binding screen are all keyboard inputs even though this is a mobile game.

Honestly amazing

I’ve played a few different shooters like this. Most you will play are pay 2 win crap. This here is a premium title, has MULTIPLE different game modes to play, no limit on how much you can play. Has CROSSPLAT multiplayer with mobile, switch, pc. Has leaderboards to grind for. Has a leveling up system, at the end of runs you get XP which can level your profile up and unlock new designs and customizations. That leads me to customization. This game offers it! Customize your ship, enemies, sound, abilities, colors etc. it’s honestly a blast. It has some bugs but the dev is always on top of it fixing up what needs to be fixed and adding things. Definitely worth a grab if this is a game you’d enjoy
