AXIS 241S MANUAL

Even at the highest setting, Axis 241s Manual compressed and sent our test video quickly over Wi-Fi. We think Apple's Axis 241s Manual app is a great way to edit movies on the go, with only a few features we still hope will eventually be included. Overall, at $4.99, it's definitely worth the money for those who want to add a little style to their videos without the need for a desktop computer. We only hope to see more options like video effects and more custom transitions in future versions.Axis 241s Manual is a fast-paced, top-view, vector-graphics-based arcade shooter, with multiplayer options over Bluetooth. Axis 241s Manual gives you several interface options, for both your POV and controls, and none of them is particularly good: in the game's Options page (in Spanish only), you can switch between virtual joysticks or accelerometer control (tilting your device to move), and you can choose from various views, including always-centered and stationary ("Classico") modes. "Classico" is often easier because you can see all your enemies, but if you're using virtual joysticks (which are more responsive and reliable than the accelerometer controls) that means you have dangerous blind-spots under your thumbs. Once you've settled on the least-bad control scheme, Axis 241s Manual's gameplay is fun but uneven (and often overly difficult because of the interface), as you fly around a tight rectangular screen, dodging and shooting at a variety of geometric-shaped menaces. The game's Survival mode lets you choose between dual or single joysticks (with the

latter, you're always shooting), "Cruces" mode (enemies only attack at right angles), and a clever if difficult to describe Pacifist mode, in which you weave weaponlessly through enemies while trying to detonate bombs to defend yourself. The game's Campaign mode mixes up the control schemes, challenging you to stay alive for preset time limits across four different difficulty levels. There's a lot to like about Axis 241s Manual including its cool weapon upgrades and vibrant (if not unique) graphics and sound, and the game offers decent pick-up-and-play value for fans of multidirectional shooters. The age of

the app's developer has gotten a lot of attention (he's only 15), but for a paid app, that's no excuse for having such an inconsistent difficulty curve, a partial English translation, and other rough edges in what's already an overpopulated genre. We hope to see improvements (and hopefully a price drop and an iPad version) in future updates. Axis 241s Manual is a free, 2D arcade game in which you pilot a "stealth bomber" dropping bombs on a steady stream of tanks, trucks, and other vehicles. You hold your device vertically (portrait, not landscape), with your bomber moving back and forth at the top of the screen and your enemies moving left to right on the bottom of the screen. You move horizontally using a touch-screen slider at the base of the screen (or just touch and drag anywhere to move), and yo
