Pros and cons of JAM: Jets Aliens Missiles app for iPhone and iPad

JAM: Jets Aliens Missiles app good for

Nice stages. Seeker missles. Lasers. Fun to play! ☺️ give it a try
I really like this game it reminds me of Gates of Zendecon for the Atari LYNX back in I beleive 1989-90. It was an excellent side shooter that probably is not that well known, but I played it a lot. Great game I would love to see more like it.
This game has a retro arcade feel to it but with a modern polish to it. It doesnt get any better than shooting aliens with missiles from a jet!
Ive been looking for a game like this since I got the phone and its came free on free app of the day, thank-you Josh for designing this game, so fun if I could give it more than 5 stars I would, if you like shooting games that are simple but exciting then this is the game for you. 5 out 5
This game could go far and it would be nice with tilt controls
Classic gameplay with a modern twist, plus loving the new vehicle

Some bad moments

great controls, super stylish, looking forward to playing in 16:9 widescreen on my iphone 5!
As usual it would be a lot better with a d-pad to move,also movement is limited to far left..up/down..if we could move throughout the whole playing area,also we are limited to touching enemies to launch weaponry,needs additional buttons, in far right corner to use as firing.I just dont like the mechanics of touching the screen over & over to shoot enemies..PLEASE ADD ADDITIONAL CONTROL OPTIONS & A FEW BUTTONS TO FIRE.THE GAME LOOKS & PLAYS GREAT,FOR WHAT IT IS...VERY FLUID IN EVERY WAY,BUT ITS A RAIL SHOOTER,IF YOUR INTO LIMITED AREA TO MOVE & TOUCH,TOUCH,TOUCH ENEMIES FOR KILLS..PICK IT UP.I DOUBT MY SUGGESTIONS WILL GET IMPLEMENTED,IT WILL FALL ON DEAF EARS..OH WELL,I TRIED.THANK YOU.
Downloaded today and started playing. I realized a while later that I had been playing for a long while. Thats good. Haha. The graphics are strong. I especially like the movements of the ship as you move it up and down. The targeting system is a nice feature. I look forward to upgrading my ship and moving on to harder levels. Bravo.
Would have been a good game, but the controls make it annoyingly frustrating. Controls do not respond consistently and are unpredictable. Had to pay for the game and still have to pay for extras as an in app purchase.
JAM controls are the best I have seen in this kind of game genre on iOS. Seems like just the "right" amount of difficulty. Nice Job!
I can see their marketing plan, they have a store all set up (currently not activated) and an in game currency. While its possible to work through the game and upgrade right now, who knows if it will when they flip it to Freemium. I hate freemium games...and now I was suckered into paying for one. Overall, the game isnt as fun as I expected. If it wasnt iPhone 5 formatted, I probably wouldnt have opened it more then a few times. Its average.
