A modern take on retro - for Android

[Tanooki]

I've got a leather fold case with a detachable bluetooth keyboard on the inside flap that magnetically sticks to it (magnet also on/off the tablet.)

i had it folded over and held it with my left and tried using my pointer or pinky to see if it would differ with wave 10 giving me trouble when I tried it. I also tried to put it on my lap, and also folding over the kickstand for it to stand up at an angle -- no help. What I tried in controlling it from wave1 forward was going between things. First I was more trying to tap where the target was, then I found leading the target was faster, and fastest was keeping the finger over the turret or just off of it and doing tiny circles for the best speed while leading the shot to see where the bullets went. I basically in the end used it like an arcade joystick/spinner like smash tv/robotron where I swung around the fastest to get it there.

I think the way you ended up using it was a good technique. I have found that the different control mechanisms have different strengths/advantages/disadvantages.

Part of the fulfillment I think is finding those other control mechanisms, but from the feedback I have got I believe wave 10 is slightly too difficult. A lot of players are getting stuck on it.

I will look into releasing an update with a slightly less challenging version of wave 10.

Thank you for all your help so far, it has taught me a lot on how I can improve.

Good, it wasn't just me. It's hard but manageable until the last minute, in particular the last 30 seconds if I remember right. Just too much from too many angles at such a speed you can't keep up with the hand in the way.
