This games not worth $1, its worth $10
Even in the low-cost realm of the App Store, this game is worth far, far, more than the developer is charging. Ive been playing it with a cheap gamepad on my MBP, connected to a Cinema display, and even at the best-quality and highest resolution its smooth, fast, and looks as good as any arcade game Ive ever played. If youre looking for anything remotely like "1942"-style top-down shooting, buy this game now. The last two hours of my life may not be coming back, but they were well worth it.
I will admit that some of the more advanced the controls take a bit of getting used to on the gamepad, and dont necessarily match the simple diagrams in the "Help" screen, but they were relatively easy to figure out. (For instance, to fire the special weapons, instead of hitting the gamepad buttons, hold down the right rocker and tap the direction pad.) There are a few other eccentricities similar to games of this type, such as bombs not working on targets the player might think they should, but they do little to detract from the experience.
In short, the best game Ive ever played on my mac. Ill be playing for a while. If the developers come to their senses, theyll start charging significantly more for this---buy it at this ridiculous bargain while you can.
