Go on - own up... Who is Denji2084?

Only played LLamasoft games... And just thrashed every other score on this...


Nice game btw... Is there any way to fast forward the level intermissions? I tend to do best in the zone... The break is destroying my rhythm - unless that's the point!

  • *Beautiful yet relatively subtle/restrained art style. Love the clouds, parallax, light sourcing, scaling. Lovely.
  • *The music and sfx are great, but explosions etc are hard to hear. Sliders or levels for music and sfx?
  • *Difficulty curve is nice. A very gentle game that rewards you for going in hard (which you have to do later in the game).
  • *The bouncing around (especially late on Fursday) is really annoying...must avoid enemies more I suppose!
  • *Controls are responsive and easy / logical. I really like them...BUT I find the 'rate of turn' (for lack of a better term, not the turning circle) a bit too slow/sluggish for my liking on the later levels, especially when being pursued when it becomes difficult to fly around/away from the enemy (not due to trying). A bit like the Novice controls on GR. I'm a big Time Pilot head (not that I'm much chop at it these days) and it feels just a wee bit slow (iPhone 4)...That being said of course I expect the game to get more difficult later on....and (a) my scores have improved already as I've gotten better at the game and (b) I'm in bed and really sick, so I could actually be the sluggish one.
Great stuff. So pretty :)

Edit: 3.5/5 on TA. http://toucharcade.com/2012/04/09/a-loo ... ive-a-day/

The graphics in Fluttershyday gave me my first genuine WTF moment in video-gaming in years. ZOMG!?! :lol:

Really feeling this one now. #2 on OF, though that's sure not to last, hehe. No real dramas with the controls at all. It's weird, even though I'd like the turning a wee bit faster, I seem to be able to respond faster now.

Edit: wouldn't mind a way to skip or quicken the between level intermissions (like in Space Giraffe).

I find a bit funny even a bit 'odd' that they seems to be ( TA ) so 'shocked' by the whole 'New Age' experience :lol:

But then again, being all time here with Yak I got used to much higher levels of 'oddities' like Yak for example listening all day to Rob Hubbard singing, duets of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner, tekkno tracks of My Little Pony ( that's me all day ) , mad preachers on the radio mixed with real time radio scans of LA police, the occasional mention of John Travolta and Tom Cruise and that's just the beginning of a long list .. :lol:

There have beens moment during developement ( of Five a Day ) I was in tears laughing, I think I'll never forget when Yak was trying to find out 'a good transition' between a level and another and came out with the sun, the 'OooooH' and the gong .. I was literally crying for too much laughing almost chocking :lol: :lol:

But yes I think this game is 'succefull' in delivering a different experience, when they say 'different than the usual LS stuff' I'd say maybe/yes/now because then I should add 'have you seen Yak recently ?', that's exactly what it is :mrgreen:

OMMmmmmMMMMmmmMMMMMmmm ... I am going to lit up those joss sticks ...

Yak stop waving a banana at me telling it's an orange now ... LISTER THAT'S ALL YOUR FAULT !

Amen break ships....ROFL!

790K odd. #1 on OF...for the shortest time ever no doubt. That's enough for today...maybe. I think I'll do it from the start again to accumulate more ships.

Bought it as a big supporter of you guys but tbh Time Pilot was always a bit of a no-go for me game wise. Always felt too static compared to the other shooters of the day so dont expect me on the leaderboards.
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

Is there something wrong with game Centre and five a day. No achievements listed and it's not recording my scores or showing any high score tables at all just the minimum of information about the fact a few peeps on my friends list are also playing it.

Openfeint seems to do that these days.

It's near to useless at times
