Pros and cons of Blue Skies app for iPhone and iPad
Blue Skies app good for
Phantastic game, very fluide, no bugs, worth the update, but: Rocking Pocket Games.......your logo sucks
Just bought this due to the lowered price and its amazing. The controls are very responsive, a very fresh feel to the old standard shoot and bomb arcade-style games. The levels are well designed to lightly ease you into the gameplay. It really feels like youre flying a helicopter and at this new price, its a no-brainer. Get it.
Action packed game that shows what the acceletation sensor can do.
To the guy who found this too easy: try the Hard-option!
Fun game controlls and graphics are good but there should be a Blue Skies 2 where you fly a jet instead of a helicopter also if there are different objective like defending something or attacking a primary object. But otherwise a fun game. Oh one other thing, when the people talk it shouldnt sound like a messed up radio it should sound like they are acrually talking.
Awesome value at under a buck. If you like the lite version, you will not regret paying a dollar for the full version. Great music!
For $3 you really cant go wrong with this one. $5 max. Im really enjoying this one. It reminds me of the Desert Strike NES days. Which is great!! Looks great, sounds great is great. PRESS SLEEP/WAKE BUTTON TO PAUSE MORONS!!
Some bad moments
Gameplay is very repetitive. Upgrades are meaningless and take ages to actually improve enough to make any difference. Controls are strange (clickable areas are not marked in any way) but ok after a short while. Just get the free version: you will see everything there is to see.
It crashes when you calibrate the steering. What happened did you abandon the app.
