This is just like that old game, er, you know… ::coughs into sleeve::

Yeah, that one.

Okay, I can’t remember the name. But it’s just like an old game where you were, I think, a helicopter, and had to shoot things and rescue little chaps. This is the same, but you’re a flying saucer.

Normally it costs money, but as part of the App Store implosion event, it was free over the weekend.

I’m not sure how much I like it.

The problem is, it starts off being very easy to survive, but my lack of steering skills means it takes me ages to rescue the little guys, so it’s several minutes before there’s any real danger (i.e. ground-mounted guns) – and then I die almost immediately, as I’m rubbish.


Honestly, I’m not sure the game’s at fault. If I could get better, it would get more interesting more quickly. If I didn’t have five pages of games on my iPhone, I’d be more likely to get the practice I needed, but as it is, I can see this being ignored. Which, I think, is probably a shame, overall.

I really do like the look of it, though, except I’m not quite sure why it keeps going widescreen on me. I think it means there are people to rescue nearby, but I’m not sure.

Also, I really, really, really overuse commas.
