The daddy of iPhone twin-stick shooters is back down to 59p, so I thought I’d see how it stacks up these days. It’s not to shabby, as it happens.

There’s a distinct lack of documentation, just a brief help screen with no mention of the different game modes or why I’d want to collect the omen things that drop now and again or anything like that.


Still, the core shooting action is fun – especially in Rush mode, which is a lot faster than Survival mode, which can drag on a bit, but which seems like it might be the only mode that lets you collect those omen things. They seem to help you rank up, but why I’d want to do that, I don’t know. I should probably look for a guide online, but this sort of stuff should really be in the game.

I like the different weapons, I like the controls, I like the perk system – every now and again you get to select a new power from a random list – and like the main character’s hat. No, it’s not as good as Minigore, but that’s nothing to be ashamed of – Minigore is special.
