As with the original Bug Princess IOS game, this is pure joy to play. The more complex bullet patterns and maniac modes balance out against the increased ease of moving across the screen. Basically put, I am only good enough on the XBOX version to pull off a 1cc (almost!) on original mode, but struggle against maniac mode, whereas in this IOS port I get roughly the same degree of challenge playing in maniac mode - which is great because who ever enjoys playing with less and less bullets on the screen? The more the better!
As with the original BP iOS port, I was really hoping for an HD treatment, or atleast filtered/smoothed to be on par with the beautiful graphics on the XBOX. The art is fantastic and I fear many gamers wont see it as much when put up against HD counterparts. I know Cave has the tech to pull off smooth graphic when transitioning across platforms so its a bit of a mystery why the same game looks better blown up on my 40" 1080p TV than on a tiny display like an iPad. Nonetheless top scores yet again!
