DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT BUY. This game has many broken controls and too many bugs. Also there is only one mission and it is the worst game I have ever played. I bought it knowing I was taking a risk and can tell you this is a small software made by someone in their basement just to collect your money... BEWARE!

Conclusion first: A high potential game needs polishing. Has some degrees of replayability but still lack of content. Pro: +Using gestures to fire weapon +BIG BIG Spaceship +BIG BIG Explosion +[spoiler]I AM IRON MAN[/spoiler] Con: -Unclear tutorial -Lack of content ======================================================== This game makes you feel like Iron Man. You open your hand and put your thumb finger on the touch pad to fly. Change fly direction by rotating your hands. Just like Iron Man. It is pretty unique and interesting. I can just flying all day. After finishing the tutorial (which can be skipped), you fly into space to fight enemy's spaceships. You start with one ship and enemy with three (unfair!). The enemy will keep warping in new ships and so do you. Looks like player can have up to 4 ships while enemy can have up to 10 (unfair again!). You are invincible but your ships are not. You need to destroy all enemy ships before they destroy yours. [b]I found that using the laser (open hand to fire) to destroy a ship in a few seconds and watching it explodes (really really big one) is the most enjoyable moment in this game[/b]. There are 4 weapons you can use. Interesting thing is you don't pull trigger or press button to fire. Instead, you make gestures with your fingers to trigger the corresponding weapon. For example, by holding your fist you can fire a machine gun, by opening all fingers you can fire a laser. That means you don't need to switch to a weapon before you use it. Very creative way to switch weapon. However, the creativity has its drawback. It needs some time to get used to the gesture control. There is a short tutorial get you through all the gestures. But it is too rush for me. The developer should use some graphics to better describe each gesture not just using text. Another confusing thing about the gestures is that the game heavily rely on thumb finger position to recognize different gestures. For example, there are FOUR "Open Hand" gestures in this game, the only difference between them is where you put the thumb finger : Open 1. thumb finger not touching anything, nothing will happen. Open 2. thumb finger touching touch pad, trigger flying. Open 3. thumb finger touching button A or B, trigger lightning weapon. Open 4. thumb finger touching joystick, trigger laser weapon. Besides, The "Fist" and "Index" gesture in this game also need to put thumb finger on touch pad. It was mentioned in the tutorial indeed, but again, the tutorial is soooooo rush that you probably won't notice it! The developer really need to put more effort into the tutorial.
