Pros and cons of Nanoids app for iPhone and iPad

Nanoids app good for

Nanoidsis a fresh and exciting space shooter game where you defend your planet Petra from the onslaught of the Nanoid invaders. On the  left side of the screen you will find the rather small directional pad to allow your ship to maneuver while on the right side are your weapons. You will encounter different kinds of enemies and from the beginning the game will starts on a crazy fast pace and almost immediately you will be on a mad dash to survive. There are powerups and gold coins along the way to help you upgrade your weapons. The missions are incredibly challenging. I havent even squeaked by the first two levels yet - adding further to my interest in the game. This shoot em up is far from predictable. Its crazy fast and challenging, but its also very, very addictive. The game controls are a bit too small and often difficult to control. I can also barely see my ship - and by the time I do, its often too late. Also kill stats or some indication of how far Id gone to accomplish my mission would be helpful - and maybe its just me, but adjusting the level of difficulty would be great, too. I want to be able to move up and not die trying! The graphics and in-game sounds are top notch and I especially like the campy music to go with the retro sci-fi arcade feel of the game. When I had my first crack of the game, the first thought that came to mind was - "So this is how Star Wars feels like!". Excellent game destined for space shooter greatness.
This game is truly awesome the graphics great game play great, my only issue the only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars the controls are terrible both thumbs on the screen come on how about 1 button for your bombs touch when ready an 1 thumb to move your ship auto fire please guys fix this problem you would have an awesome game .
...hard to see the sheep. You should redress the finger placement.
Great shmup! Love the $ aspect and ability to replay levels in order to earn $ for upgrades. Makes game stand out from other shmups. A must have!
very good game. i gave it 4 stars because your finger covers the aircraft and its hard to avoid being hit sometimes. i think it needs an offset for ur aircraft position. (it would be great to make the offset an adjustable setting)
It was totally not what i thought of the icon after i played this shooting game, it is clear that i was shocked, but it does not matter, good shooting game!

Some bad moments

The controls of the ship simply dont do. This is one of those shooters you need to see where your thumbs are being placed and they dont offer to use the tilt function, so my money Is wasted. Shame, the game looks good, but I just cant enjoy it due to bad control scheme! Perhaps you can give an update that will make this game playable.
Pretty mediocre as far as classic overhead shooters go. There are tons of better ones elsewhere on the App Store.
This game really pissed me off! Lovvved this game at first. Had me hooked for three full days until I shut off my phone and lost everything I worked for! Tested again and sure enough I lost everything again. Game does save after shutting off phone.
The game starts of great, just the right amount of difficulty, but once you get to the 3rd and 4th levels, you realize how frustrating this game can get. In order formy weapons to stand a chance against the stronger enemies, I was forced to play the first and second level over and over again in order to earn the money for upgrades. After I finally unlocked the sun, I tried it, and killed only 9 enemies on my first run. The smallest enemies seem to have more health the the first boss. Good game, but maybe have difficulty levels in the next update.
This game is hard to the point of not being fun. The map only has like five levels and it seems like its trying to make up for this by making you retry level after level in order to get cash to upgrade your ship. It doesnt tell you what any of the upgrades do either which further frustrates the player. There are numerous enemies right from the first level that can kill you very fast or in one hit, making this too frustrating to bother with.
If you have the free version dont get the update it just stops letting you play
