How many levels did you survive? Just curious to find out how difficult the game appears to be to others. I shared this game with my colleagues, friends, and family last weekend. The maximum anyone has claimed to reach so far is level 10. The maximum I have been able to reach so far is level 8.


First attempt level 3. Love the Why you built this!


On a iPhone, levels 1 & 2 were an easy intro, then level 3 was pretty hard, and level 4 was very hard [and where I died IIRC].


Level 8 on one play (~3800 score).

Does the player's ship have autofire or is the player supposed to use a fire button?


Level 8 on one play is really good! :-)

The player has autofire. No buttons need to be pressed. The player emits a green laser pulse automatically. As soon as one laser pulse disappears (either due to going off the canvas or due to hitting a ship or canon), the next laser pulse is emitted automatically.

For that reason, you may notice that the laser pulses appear more frequently while hitting low flying ships because it is quicker to hit a low flying ship than a high flying ship.


Tried twice, died pretty quickly on level 5


First try, level 6.
