Engage in Endless Intense Action!

Star Bridge is a fast arcade game where you navigate and blitz through a randomized, mechanized and weaponized enemy trench.

Swipe left and right to dodge towers and enemy fire but also swipe up and down to climb over and pass under the hazards within the level. Launch homing missiles at enemies by tapping them, or tap and hold to engage your boosters and thread the needle.

Collect credits to help load up on power-ups such as protective Shields, zone passing Hyperspace engines, or enemy vaporizing Smart Bombs!

Star Bridge is Free to Play, however In App Purchases are available for the other starfighters and also credit packs. Prices range from $.99 to $14.99.

Pros and cons of Star Bridge app for iPhone and iPad

Star Bridge app good for

My reflexes kept me pulling back to go up and pushing forward to go down. Once I was able to get my brain to flip it around the game became addictive.
I cant put this game down! Easy to play and always challenging.
Having a great time blowing stuff up and dodging for my life! Super challenging game. Looks pretty good too. Stuff blows up real good!:)
Whats not to love? It a fun trench run that I cant stop playing!
Yup. A modern take on the game Zaxxon. Good for a trip down memory lane to colecovision.

Some bad moments

Graphics are beautiful, sounds are great, and the it is fun. However, what brings this game down to only 2 stars are the controls. Quite often youll find yourself triggering something other than your desired movement. I find them very frustrating. Gorgeous game otherwise.
You have to get used to the perspective but this is a new and fresh take on endless games!!
The gameplay is weird and unresponsive. You swipe left right up and down to move in a 3D environment but its too difficult to tell where you are. Its also loaded down with ads and in-game purchases you see on every screen. Finally when you first open it, it asks for access to your microphone, Im guessing to secretly record you since I cant see why else the game would need that. Deleted.
I havent been able to play it for more than a few seconds. Theres way too much going on for my iPad to keep up. I dont have the newest iPad but its not too old either, and the game is too laggy on it to play at all.
Marred by horrible swipe controls because without decent controls, this game is unplayable and its a shame because it looks like a game that had potential.
Why is it that it seems like a game that looks great, could be fun to play, and is even innovative in some special way, yet it gets poor reviews? Yep, you guessed it: inexplicably laggy, poorly designed, a bad choice on the scheme that the game uses, or just plain dumb lazy programmed controls. Why cant programmers just give you a simple uncomplicated basic control interface that you see in many other games? Is it a cost thing for them? Did they somehow think a screwy control scheme would make the game better? Or more challenging? Or harder for us to make it last longer? Whatever their reasons, it ruins this game, period.
