Pros and cons of Galcon app for iPhone and iPad

Galcon app good for

Great game, though online could be better. Would like the option to play a friend. Ranking bit simple too. Winner takes all often results in player that manages to stay out of trouble at start winning due to other players wiping each other out. Tried demo on pc too. iPhone version is better:)

Original game play, very entertaining, especially with 2 iPods and 2 players

...one cant really tell the size of ones own/hostile fleets as there are far fewer ships now than there used to be. besides the servers are quite empty now, probably due to the time limit which is an idea I generally appreciate, however, it might be a little bit too quick...

Planung for five years now. This Game is as awesome as ever. ;-) +++++ This game is awesome. Fast paced strategy action, perfectly outbalanced computer opponents. And its always fun to get your ass kicked von an online game. Absolute must-buy for strategy fans! And here are some suggestions for making it even better: 1. Better sounds, the actuals ones mostly suck :-) 2. For a real tournament online, you need constructed maps with identical planet ressources. The random maps are always giving one player an advance by having better ressources. 3. Would be nice to save and share maps 4. Map editor(for tounaments) would be great. Really good stufff, Phil! Keep going!! Harry from Frankfurt, Germany

One of the first games I bought and still my favorite. So simple you can get hooked on your first game, and so complex that youll never get tired of it. The best part I how convenient it is. I can play it when I have just a few seconds to kill, or I can spend hours on it. Try the lite version. However the 3way game against the computer is the only mode I play single player now, and of course the multiplayer game is amazing.

Ive had this game for over a month now and despite buying and playing others, this one by far has the most play time and is my favourite. Well worth the $. Great job on this app!!!

Some bad moments

The best part if this full version is its online mode, it lets u compete with players worldwide

This game used to be great until the last update, the graphic they say are better but I dont think so! The stupid timer ruins the game, not as fun as it used to be!! I used to play 4-6 hours a day, now its not worth it anymore people are not playing it since the update! It hard to get games going in multiplayer with the few straglers that are left!! UNDO THE UPDATE!!!!!

Hasnt been updated in a few years now. Need to get an update out for the iPhone 5 display ASAP.

Dont buy this app. Its ridiculously dead. Dont waste your money buying it. And please dont buy Galcon 2. They lie when they promise you will Play with real people but instead you play against bots. You cant even tell who is human and who is a bot. Dont waste your money

This app has so muv potential... But the developer has neglected to take care of some simple game issues which leave it severely wanting. I have reduced my rating to only one star for that and the player community. Players have become impatient waiting for a fix so the now exploit the bugs for the sole purpose of driving people away. Heed my advice; dont bother. Players regularly grief you, delay endgame in perpetuity and other childish antics. I cant really blame them - they feel abandoned by the developer. The fix wouldnt be that hard. Do not buy this until it is fixed.

Needs to be updated for IOS5, has some pretty bad lag on multiplayer. Almost unplayable now.
