TriBlaster

Yes, it’s similar to Tempest...but Tempest is an absolute classic, and it worth seeing what someone else does with the concept. One of the most impressive elements is the system of game progress: it’s truly innovative, and let’s you choose either to limp through levels with one life and limited power, or to play more carefully and to conserve life/power. There’s more depth here than you’d expect, and it’d probably be easier to appreciate if there were some kind of tutorial built into the game....

This game is pretty fun. It has basic gameplay anyone can get into. But is challenging enough for the better players to get to the higher levels. I like the various enemy types. This game seems to avoid copy and pasting the same enemy's and making stronger versions (except the strong grunt I hate that enemy) And then there are no IAPs which is amazing. More games need to be praised for not having adds or micro transactions! I think the thing I like the most is how it supports me using my left hand. If I start using my left hand the "jump" button will go to the right!

This game is pretty much Tempest for the iPhone, which is not a bad thing. I like the retro theme and the fact that there are NO IAP's that seem to plague the App Store nowadays. If I could change or add one thing it would be alternate controls, maybe a button on both sides to control left/right movement instead if sliding because it doesn't seem as responsive as it could be. It's not bad for a $0.99, I'll give it that!

For fans of the vector-graphics look and classic shooters like Tempest, (from which Triblaster seems to have taken a page,) this is a great little game! The option to 'jump' off the rails is a welcome option, as the baddies become tougher before long, and need extra time to hammer on.

I was never big into the arcade games of the past or the one this was based off. So I can't say much there. But what I can say is how insanely addictive this game is. Took me a bit to get the controls down. But once I did. I couldn't stop. Love it
