wow

oggo 15/5/10 è gratis.... ed è davvero bello!!

Cant open app

Cant open the app and I cant play it.

Clearly a port.

Another v-shmup disappointment. This one is relatively entertaining for a few minutes but definitely needs some optimization. The framerate is pretty low when theres any action on the screen, and ends up being quite distracting. That, combined with the unnecessarily sluggish touch controls makes for a frustrating gaming experience. Also, in case the developer hadnt noticed, there are no "A" and "B" buttons on the iPhone. It seems very sloppy and amateur-ish to leave references to them scattered throughout the game.

Best scroller shooter!

AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! When you master the "bullets time" and "scratching bullets", It become more amzing and addictive! This is also the only shooter support online top 10, I really like it!

I had high hopes...

I was pretty siked to see a shooter similar to "Raiden Project" on the iphone. Unfortunately low frame rate and sluggish controls really put a damper on this game. Its okay, but there are better ways to spend you dollars.

Sweet!!!

Awesome game, reminds me of one of favorite arcade games, 1942!! Its creative and different, but this different is good. A scrolling shooter with both 2-d and 3-D graphics... Interesting combination! Great game overall! I played it forever, but it remains 4 stars for several items I think it needs. 1) As in the other reviews, the controls lack substance. 2) Some explanation for stuff would be appreciated IN the game. 3) More planes 4) The bosses need more to them, such as in 1492, you can shoot certain "parts" on the boss so they stop shooting at you. 5) Landscape mode needs to be improved, everything is small, and the virtual controls need help. 6) The whole game just needs some improvement, there is just something about it that needs some help. I would highly recommend taking a look at 1492, and stealing some ideas from that. I think that this game would be improved greatly if it had more ideas like 1492.

Very Nice!!!

A very decent and fun game. Plz. make more games that is similar to "HotField". Also plz make an update soon that this game has more hard boss and levels. Thanks.

perfect work

A perfect scroller shooter with hot blooded music Deserve the bucks! Please consider add achievement system like those 360 games

I cant make it work

I cant make it work Ive tried everything Help!!!

good game!

the game is good, graphics: 4.5/5 music:5/5 control: 4.5/5 i find the game cant startup if you set wrong values on "Language" and "Region Format" ( both under "SettingsGeneralInternational" ), hope the author improve this.

Those were the days

Not too shabby. Reminds me fondly of those by gone days of nintendo 64...

Cool

Thanks a lot. Game is amazing =)))))) very cool. i love it!!!!!!!!

Modern Nostalgia

I loved those vertical shooter-scrollers in the arcade when I was young. Weapons Upgrades. No compilcated paths to decide but simple, easy to get in, game mechanic. A nice blend between 3D and retro style sprite graphics. Love it!

We need an update

Game gets real easy once you start using slowdown and lazers. You should make them more strict in the harder modes. What about the story, and characters? Soundtrack is dull, needs different sounds and instruments for each level. Its just needs refreshing basically. There isnt much to do after you beat it in all modes. Still a great game, can be better though.

Accelerometer control

***AWESOME! I requested, and you listened. Game has been updated to include tilt control*** Game would be twice as fun with the ability to control the planes using the accelerometer (i.e. iFighter)

Latest update didnt improve the game at all

Hotfield was one of those hidden gems in the App Store that warranted being played by shmup fans. The controls, while not spot on, were serviceable, and there were 3 control options in all so whatever the gamers preference one of the control options would likely met that preference. There was a touch option while holding in portrait mode, a virtual joystick mode while in landscape, and a swipe mode in landscape as well. None were perfect, mind you, but with a few updates the dev couldve gotten the controls to be better. It was a solid 3 star game, IMHO...and couldve, with the proper updates, gone right up to 4 star. I waited in anticipation for the proposed update which would include a tilt control option. The dev responded, and while the tilt control option is quite good and very smooth, the fact is that the dev REMOVED the other options save for the virtual joystick method. Well, not totally. See, the options for touch control and swipe are still there, but they cant be used. Go to the swipe method in landscape (the second option when playing in landscape mode), and you cannot control your craft at all. The option for the control method is there, but you cant control anything. Go to the touch control in portrait, and you can control...provided you keep your finger onscreen at all times, as failure to do so will engage tilt control. This becomes an issue when you double tap to unleash bombs, as that moment you take your finger off will engage tilt and undoubtedly you will be sent careening in whatever direction your device is tilting towards. Now, the touch method in portrait was my control method of choice. Now? Unusable. In summary, the dev added the option of tilt control but foolishly messed up or removed the other control methods. In addition, the game randomly slows down to a crawl now periodically, even after a hard reboot of the device, which never happened before the update. Memory leaks introduced to the game with the update? Probably. Back to the drawing board, dev. This update is anything but an improvement. A 3 star game is now 2 stars. Update this update with fixes, and maybe itll be the 4 star game it could be.

Bravo!

Hotfield brings back so many memories of the arcades and my favorite old consoles- the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo! This is a very playable and pretty to look at shooter, one of the best on the iPhone and I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys arcade shooters :) Keep up the good work C2Matrix!
