In case you missed it, it's on the ( NEW ) LS website.

Check the "Donate" page and you'll find it :)

I like the sound effects. Force closes when I try to turn the sound up though.
I made a deviantart page.

Giles,

It plays really smoothly on my Nexus 7 with the icade 8-bitty controller.

Am not sure I've figured out all the game play subtleties yet though, as usual with Llamasoft shooters there seems to be a lot going on! I love the "rotate screen" to access vic-20 and c64 modes.

However, it has locked-up in the pause menu a few times. Also, is there a way to quit the application entirely?


p.s. I've just made a "curry" sized donation. Am hoping that will encourage you to make some more releases ;-)

Giles, did you do any further optimisations since the earlier test versions I tested? My ZTE-BLADE didn't manage them so well.

I tried it out and I do like it, though I haven't played the game before so the movement is a bit odd (trying to make tiny movements practically throws the ship across the screen, but I kind of got used to it)...it's still loads of fun though.

I'll definitely be pitching a donation in because of this :)

Just on my way to bed - thought I'd quickly check up on your site for any news and stumbled across this. Duly downloaded and donated. Had a quick blast through 16 levels with my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (sitting on the stand which came with 3DS Kid Icarus - cheers, Nintendo!) and my Steel Series Free controller. It feels perfect now with controller support and no bloody finger getting in the way of the action! Maybe I'm imagining it, but it seems faster than version 107 which I had been testing. This is classic Llamasoft. I love it. It's brilliant. Finally I have been able to give you money for your hard work after I've had so much fun testing it. Thank you. Bed now, or one more go? Suppose I could always play it in bed...

Works nice on my Nexus 7 :D
On the Xperia Arc S it seems to run in some kind of slow motion though...
Anyway, donation already made :)

I get force closes when using the volume or touching the menu button on my Xperia Ray (android 2.3.4) but aside from that it runs buttery smooth

Unfortunately the screen on the ray is pretty small so that doesn't lend itself well to playability and visibility

On my HTC Hero running CM6 it unsurprisingly bombed straight away, but i don't think that hardware supports any kind of GL/GLES

I have an Odroid-U2 that i'll give it a bash on when i have time, the android build for that supports Xbox360 pads so it will be interesting if that works, although I'll wonder if the display thinking that it's in landscape all the time will limit me to the old-skool version, or if i can override it to get it into it's portrait mode

Anyway, as it looks inevitable that my future android phone is going to have a much larger screen a decent sized curry will be on it's way

Huawei G300 http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_ascend_g300-4594.php Running stock 2.3.6
Force closes upon volume up/down, back or menu button presses.

ZTE Blade, running CM9 KonstaKANG 4.0.4 (Build 20120827):
No force close but unable to exit app except by home button.

Otherwise it runs great on both devices.

Odd. I'm using the same model, but with Swedish Snow RLS7 (2.3.5) and it runs really slow, as per the test versions. How stable is 4.0.4 on this device? 2.3.5 is generally very nippy and rock solid compared to the stock OS.

I've ordered my first smartphone (Nexus 4, on its way as I type) so I'll be able to play this soon. :)
