Maybe generate a particular code that allows people on a special bulletin board to display a special "badge"? <br /><br />I'm sure people have been pestering you with "mission editor", "ability to customize plane like RPG", and so on.GuyReviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270600804829601202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11719805.post-83019921577649259912010-11-22T10:42:18.804-08:002010-11-22T10:42:18.804-08:00I played it through on iphone and it's quite g...I played it through on iphone and it's quite good. nicely done.<br /><br />Saw an intermittent bug (well, I couldn't isolate a repeatable process, so I'm calling it intermittent), where starting a level after the game has been sitting on the menu and in screen-off state, the level immediately fails, as though it was keeping some state from the last level played. If I can find a more repeatable process to get it to occur, I'll post something.<br /><br />Game is still very good though, this minor point aside.KimPallisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418501466730095519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11719805.post-81097166911217142852010-11-20T10:45:14.222-08:002010-11-20T10:45:14.222-08:00Just a couple comments...

May need a "approaching boundary" warning. Sometimes zooming out may help, but not always. <br /><br />4) Plane control is not that big of an issue as there's the "prev/next" plane button in the lower left. <br /><br />5) Needs a help screen of some sort. <br /><br />Here's the strategy guide for Steambirds...

Haven't looked at bonus missions yet though.<br /><br /><br /><br />That may seem like an overly negative post, but on the whole I'm satisfied with the purchase / game. It's quite fun and sufficiently unique to feel new and fresh. 99c was a total bargainUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857778855289469682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11719805.post-90394991292132183872010-11-12T15:51:14.110-08:002010-11-12T15:51:14.110-08:00It's not flash based.

Not very androidy. Menu button takes you out of the game instead of bringing up a context-senstive android menu (like most apps...). there's no software way to turn off the music (which might be a good idea on a *phone* game). My fingers (which are not that pudgy!) have trouble hitting the thing they're trying to hit, and when they miss, something unintended happens. if that something is scrolling instead of moving my plane, that's OK (just a little annoying) but when I miss the "play" button to start a mission, for some reason the game decides I clicked on some other still-locked mission and informs me of this. then I have to exit out of that prompt, go back to the mission, and try again and hope I don't miss this time.<br /><br />It's still a good game, of course, but yeah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11719805.post-46942868676433368492010-11-12T02:38:17.832-08:002010-11-12T02:38:17.832-08:00The flash version was really really good so this i...The flash version was really really good so this is an instant buy for me.<br /><br />Turn based games are the only games I can play on the buss and there are few of them with the quality of SteamBirds.<br /><br />The screenshots in Market aren't looking so hot.
