Ratings and Reviews
Fun Gameplay
Nine variant missions with multiple levels in each one make for hours of potential gameplay, but expect burnout before you have mastered the game.
The tilt controls are a bit awkward particularly when it is necessary to rotate around 180 degrees. Some of the scoring is odd...such as keeping "breeding enemies" alive to run up your score. Despite these negatives, the controls and the game itself is well executed.
Great when it works, but crashes a lot.
I've been playing in this series since I got the iPod touch second generation and have been a huge fan since then. Now I try to play it on my iPhone 6+ and it works, as long as it can get past the Game Center log in every time I open the app. Nine times out of ten, as soon as the little banner comes down from the top of the screen, the app crashes back to home screen. Once I can manage to get through that, I can usually get a good few minutes before it crashes again. The app needs an update for the newer software. This is the only problem I have found while trying to play. Fix it and I would give it five stars as it should have.
Edit: It does work now! Thank you!

I came across this game by a review in Touch Arcade. They talked about how great the first one was, and after viewing the trailer for this I was just blown away. This has the best music of any iPhone game i've ever played. Being responsible for 6.8 billion lives on earth is actually a bit intimidating, but it adds to the pressure of saving the blue planet called earth from hundreds of red and green little aliens! It has many different game modes, which keeps things interesting. You can play a survive till you die type of game, choose your own level,or compete for awards. It also has it's own strategy on how to deal with certain aliens as well! While i'm not very good yet, i'm sure i'll be keeping this as one of my favorites games on the iPhone.
