I'm enjoying the simple clean design of the game as well as the layout of the menu's.
Instead of being flat, the options appear to be set at an angle, giving the menu more 'pop'.
The loading screen (which lasts only about ten seconds at the very beginning) does not tell you that it is loading, instead it gives you a variety of different instructions to distract you for a moment.
The loading screen messages I've seen;
A Test of Rage - Become infuriated at the spinning icon to advance.
A Test of Geography - Recite the names of all 7 continents alphabetically to advance.
A Test of Debate - Compel the spinning icon to stop using sound logic.
A Test of Tranquility - Relive a happy memory from your childhood to advance.
Gameplay is very simple; little red bacteria-like enemies appear and swarm toward your little white triangular ship. A variety of weapons spawn in at random, which you trigger by running into them. The music is a catchy-folksy-French tune that sounds like it belongs in the movie Amelie.
There are no on-screen controls (which is a problem in many iPhone games, where your finger is covering up important onscreen real estate). Instead, you simply tilt the phone to move your ship.
I appreciate game designers that don't take themselves too seriously - even the weapons have quirky names. This is a good game, well worth the $1.99 price tag.
