Glandarius Wing Strike Lite (iPhone)
Jul 23rd
I was very good. I only played this twice last night. Self discipline, that’s what that is. My opinion hasn’t changed at all – it’s still a fantastic shooter that’s very iPhone-friendly. Anyway, here’s a screenshot of the game over screen. (Yeah, I’ve got a few of those today, I know.)
I’m just curious about what the “Honor” is. I assume the Class is based on score, but Honor? I’m not sure. Being called a Hasty Man amused me, though, so I think I approve of it, whatever it is.
Glandarius Wing Strike Lite (iPhone)
Jul 22nd
After Big Top Ten, I thought my lunchtime was at an end. However, just as I was about to get back to work I saw a post on a forum that started “If you like vertical shooters”, at which point I was sold. I bounded over to the App Store and downloaded the Lite version of Glandarius Wing Strike, which is, obviously, a vertical shooter. This one seems to be of the bullet hell variety, as in DoDonPachi and Giga Wing. (Though it’s fair to say that at least in this one-level demo, it’s more bullet heck than bullet hell.)
And it is good. More than good, it’s fantastic. It’s very fast, massive amounts of fun and the control scheme works brilliantly. I think I’m in love. It costs £2.99 so I can’t buy it now, but come pay day it shall be mine. Until then, I have to stop myself from playing it so much that I get sick of the first level. I may even delete it, just in case.
