Default Shoot 'em Up on a Budget: Save 20% Off Sky Force

http://www.pocketgear.com/basket.as...ncode=edrv91324

"Ultimate classic arcade shooter, with 3d interactive objects, outstanding graphics, special effects, soundtrack and 100% of pure gameplay. See how to push the limits of your PocketPC to the maximum. 8 amazingly pixeled environments, tons of enemies to shoot and good old Earth to save. Try it, you won't be dissapointed."



I hadn't played this game until today, but it's awesome! Excellent graphics, smooth gameply on my X30, and cool audio effects. You can pick between three different figher planes: the fast but lightly armoured plane, the well-balanced plane, and the slow but heavily armoured plane. There's an auto fire feature, which I like because it saves the button mashing wear and tear on the Pocket PC, and you can also control the plane with your stylus. The demo only works for two minutes, but it was enough for me to get a taste of this shoot 'em up. The game is only $9.95, and if you use the coupon code edrv91324, you can save another 20%.

Default Great game!!

Love this game, been playing the demo for a couple months. Very satisfying and the sounds are awesome with headphones

Looks like time to play the real full version!

Indeed, that�s a really great game, but: I hate starting it again and again with low power weapons.

Hey, this is a state-of-the-art shooter game, so there must be some cheats to start with full weapon power from the beginning. Any ideas?

I love these kind of vertical (horizontal is cool too) scrolling shootem-ups, but I hate the joypad on my 2215. I find trying to play games with it too frustrating. So I generally stay away from games that are meant to be played with the joypad.

On the other hand, my Casio E100 has an awesome joypad. I remember playing Doom on it without control problems.

I just tried to purchase but it would not give me the option to enter the second 20% coupon code. Anyone else had any luck with this?

You generally can't stack 'em at Handango, sorry! :?

I just logged on to this forum to correct this it does not push the limits of any recent Pocket PC device, I play this game smooth on my SonyEricsson P900 so you can't say it pushes your hardware to the limits.

Does it has a 'jump to level' or 'save' feature ?
I have been playing a similar game called odyssey for quite sometimes, and one thing that really bothers me is the fact that I have to start every game from scratch. I cannot start a game and immediately jump to the higher levels.

The links go to Pocket Gear not Handango so this appears to be a coupon for Pocket Gear.

In the post by Jason it reads as though it is $9.95 and if you use the coupon code you can get another 20% of the $9.99. Maybe Jason could just clarify this as I would definitely buy this game with a further 20% off.

Thanks

Paul.

Maximus, you always have to start from the beginning, there�s no official "Jump-To-Level" feature. The same thing is bugging me, that�s why I asked for some cheats, but nobody seem to know if there are some.
