Others make you think to get through a series of complicated puzzles. Violet Storm doesn't have any of that. What is does have is pure, intense, unabashedly over-the-top, non-stop action - rendered in fantastic glowing-neon style with fast-paced techno music in the background.It also has enemies - and plenty of them. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and all are coming for you, one way or another, in an infinite series of increasingly challenging waves to repel. To help you do that, we've included some fittingly over-the-top weapons. Take, for instance, a super-multi-laser bomb, which, when it explodes, shoots thirty-two rotating laser rays in all directions, destroying everything in its path. Or a five-way, triple-bullet blaster firing at an insane 1,000 rounds per second. Or a fast, triple-barrel homing missile launcher, which not only creates a spectacular show of blue trails, but also destroys anyone trying to even get close (or not so close) to you.And the most surprisingly satisfying part? The enemies explode into lots and lots of pieces with the sound of shattering glass, which somehow irresistibly draws you in to keep going and going until no more hitpoints are left.Don't miss all the mayhem - download Violet Storm right now and join the fun!FEATURES- Insanely fast-paced, action-packed, over-the-top combat- 25 different enemy and 10 weapon system types!- Quad-damage, invincibility , mega-laser-bomb powerups (and more!)- 3 different gameplay modes, including Speed Havoc and Sniper Mode- Infinite waves of varying and increasingly powerful enemies- Fantastic futuristic design and graphics- Universal support for both your iPad and your iPhone/iPod Touch- Full Retina Display support for iPhone 4 and 4S- Fast-paced, energizing background music- Autosave so you never lose your progress- Three difficulty levels- Local and global high scores- Game Center supportVideo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDAKuTcxitYFollow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/SCSGames… Expand

    This game feels like a lot of missed opportunities, really. A lot more could have been done, and could still be done, in order to make this game live up to its hyper-colorful, action-packed experience.

    The over-the-top weapons and graphical effects look great, but even those aren't implemented perfectly. Regardless, outside of those features you're still left with a competent arcade dual-stick shooter.

    Violet Storm aims to shift the focus of the twin-stick shooter from being a fragile, yet powerful ship to something more brutal and thuggish, but its novelty wears off quickly without any real threats or changes in the gameplay.

    While it certainly looks the part and controls well enough, Violet Storm's lack of variety - not to mention challenge - puts it at the back of the iOS shooter pack.
