About Vector-Z
Vector-Z is a unique, retro-style arcade game with glowing multicolor vector-graphics, analog synthesized sounds, and a retro soundtrack with amazing spaced out tunes to zap extraterrestrial invaders to.
Some of Vector-Z's aliens have shields you have to time your shots to break through. There’s also an asteroid bonus level where you can break up asteroids for points, and break up bigger asteroids for power-ups, including bonus shields, extra lives, score multiplier, and a faster fire rate.
HINTS:
• Vector-Z’s ship holds 2 missiles. One fires from each wing, so there’s a slight offset. There is also a brief reload time.
• Aliens are worth more points when they are attacking you. Even more points when they are really close!
• Go for the bonus points from accuracy: at 50% you get 100 pts per hit, 200 pts at 75%, 400 pts at 90%, and 800 bonus pts per hit with 100% accuracy!
• Aim for the bigger asteroids to collect hexagonal power-ups
Vector-Z is compatible with iCade, and requires iOS 7.1 or later.

Unplayable
I really wanted to like this as I’m a devoted fan of 80s-inspired vector graphics games. The graphics of this title are pretty good, as is the music, but that’s as much honest praise as I can muster. The action is ponderously slow and anemic, and the controls are so bad that I gave up after about two minutes of initial play. A waste of two bucks unless the dev gives this thing some badly needed TLC in the form of a substantial update.
