Alien Invaders (iPhone)

This has been reduced to the bargain price of FREE! for a day or so to drum up some interest. The developer seems to feel that if people play it, then they’ll spread the word and people will buy it when the price goes back up. It might just work, because forum people seem to be pretty positive about the game.
I, in contrast, don’t like it much.
You tilt (or use a virtual pad) to move left and right and tap the screen to shoot. Between rounds you can upgrade your ship. It’s a nice system, actually, but there’s one huge flaw in the game for me… I’m awful at it. I’ve heard it really gets good after several levels, but I’m stuck on level seven. I just can’t avoid the enemy fire for the life of me. Sigh.
