Favorite vertical shooter

One of my favorite games gets even better. The most amazing co-op experience on Apple TV seriously one of the best games and all my purchases restore to the Apple TV amazing! Love the leader boards and how they work, love the different ships and looking forward to them adding more.

Crappy game

Doesnt appear to be any way to get a upgraded ship without paying

Well Done

Totally digging this game. Challenging but fair.

Great game!!!

The game is amazing in every aspect! The only thing missing in this game is the possibility of unlocking the ships with the coins of the game, which would be worth even if the ship was expensive, but still is an amazing game!

New Feature Suggestion

Maybe you should implement a feature that lets consumers buy ships for a large amount of coins, something thatll take a while like 50,000 or 100,000 coins, so there would still be incentive to buy. Otherwise great app.

Phoenix HD

Ive owned Phoenix since before it was HD - and its still on my phone, years later. Each ship is like an entirely different gameplay mode, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. If youre a shump fan, this is a MUST OWN. The coin tripper basically takes away any need to grind in order to play with +health and +powerups on EVERY run, as well as still being able to save up enough to take on a scoring run every 3-4 games. I can not wait until Phoenix 2... !!

Needs visual stats

This game is great and fun to play even if you dont pay for the other ships. I just wish you could see more upgrades to the ship. After so long, you stop getting upgrades at score 300k or so. Thats pretty easy to get to for me and a lot of other people. I would recommend that same thing, but after al the upgrades you get stars upgrades. At a certain point you get missiles, so a thing you could do is plus 5 to missile damage. That way it doesnt feel pointless to keep going after so long. Just an idea though.

Great but

Really fun and addicting but why do we have to pay real money for a new ship each ship should be bought with cousins and not money its good that we get to test drive the ship after we wait the time limit but dont you think like it be a lot more fun to get the ship a little harder than paying real money for 1 ship...? Please make it where we can buy the ship with coins instead of money because people have to actually play the game to get something better so people have to watch ads for coins,people have to play your game for coins, it make your game more popular because it doesnt make it easy

Still my favorite phone game ever.

Ive been hooked on this game since the first time I ever played it. Its everything I want out of a video game: visually stunning, great game mechanics, and yet very simplistic and entertaining. No need to buy the extra ships, unless you wanna show your support like I did. Once you save up enough coins to buy the powerups the starter ship is more than capable of handling all the high score action. Tip: you can control your ship from any part of the screen to give you a better look of your surroundings. Also try to hold on to the health power ups as long as possible so they will only activate when you run out of juice. Try keeping the ship in the middle of the screen to give you leeway on all directions. Suggestion to developers: work out a multiplayer, co-op perhaps?

Every weapon

Great game! Id love to see updates :)

Its... So... Awesome!!!

THIS game right hear, this is where its at! Put on some killer loud electronic music of your choice and go nuts! Best game Ive played in years on my iPhone. Never gonna be off my phone. Never. Im following these guys on Twitter and cant wait for Phoenix 2. Sweeeet nectar!

Ugh...another game created to make money

If love to talk to the people who made this game. You can tell they designed it to make money...not because they wanted to make a game they would love to play. Where is the story? Where are the levels? Does it really just go on forever? 1 life and you start at the beginning?

Solid game

Its a solid game. What else can I say?

best iPhone shmup

other scrolling shooters simply cannot compare to Phoenix, and I feel like Ive tried at least a dozen or two at this point. gameplay stays varied, extremely replayable, every ship is worth paying for and changes the gameplay significantly. animation is smooth, graphics and ui are pretty and accessible, and the game just keeps being fun. theyve set the bar for phone shooters pretty high.

Add monsters.

It would be very cool if you guy added goblins and zombies.and also CROSSY ROAD

Solid Bullet Hell Gaming.

This is a quality bullet hell shooter with good graphics and addictive gameplay. The only complaints I have is the fact that each ship is 99 cents and the general monetizing of the game isnt implemented too well. But there are only two ships I liked so $0.99 wasnt too bad.

pay to win

you will not get shogun on test flight, you HAVE to pay for it pay to win ranking, the more you spend, the higher you get

Ghost ship

Great game. Graphics and game play are the best Ive come across. Very addictive!

Pretty fun but...

The lack of rewards is disappointing. It would be nice if you could earn new ships, in addition to being able to buy premium ships.

Fantastic game, subpar business model

Ive had this game on my ipod for years. Its addictive, fun in short bursts, flashy, controls well, and is a wonderful score chaser. However, as good as the game is, it has one glaring issue that should be addressed to keep the game fresh. That issue is the in-app purchases. Your basic ship is free, but each of the other 7 ships costs $1 to unlock. Not too long ago, a store was added to the app that added a new wrinkle to the formula: coins drop as you destroy enemy ships, and you use those coins for buffs on your next run. None of the ships are unlockable with these coins. Why? I say this as an open letter to the devs: you can keep the in-app purchases in place for those who wants the ships and coins faster, but why not let the rest of us play to earn those ships? It would give us goals and a reason to pour more time into this wonderful game. You can even keep the timed demos to try out ships before we unlock them. Just let us earn them with our skills instead of our wallets.
