Hi All, received an interesting mail shot which brought me here:

Nice review Neal, based on this write up, I bought it last night.

Still to put time in on it but first impressions are impressive, especially for a tablet. I hope Panic Ensues can expand and develop this gem of a title further.

Also:

...screenshots in this review were taken with a tool external to the game...

On your Kindle 7, press & hold the Volume & Power Button down. Native screen capture. Sometimes, in your review, your "external tool" was wonky. (DSLR or Camera Phone?)

I did chuckle.

...just downloaded it. and I like it so far. and for £4.16 I cant complain. doesn't work on my small htc, but that's no fault of the game - the screens too small.
I think with some polish and a few changes ie depth charge red square doesn't need to come 'over' the screen - but this a niggle. the ocean is pixelated - but again, just a niggle. the destroyers move way to fast as well. but all these things can be altered.
im impressed with it and have already spent well over two hours acclimatising myself with it.
nice job to the Devs...bring on the polish

Hey, you 're just trying to trick me into shutting down my kindle

Thanx for the feedback. Lol. Yeah, "external tool" = camera phone.

It's hard to keep the tablet lined up and play the game.

I was hoping someone would call me on that.

Thanks for the heads up Neal. I read your review and decided to buy Crash Dive and was pleasantly pleased with the app. It is heading in direction that I want an app of this type to go. Hopefully there will be little updates and improvements coming from listening to the comments of other users.....escorts too quick to evade...for example. The game ran smooth but I could not get through the combat tutorial.... after locking on to the required number of ships, the game just kept on running and never continued to the next phase...what ever it is.

I did not notice a save feature.
I'm only to the medium difficulty level so far but is it possible to save a mission. Seems cruel to have to start each scenario from the beginning each time after fighting for an hour or so and then having to quit for what ever reason.

Unfortunately the game can't be saved mid-mission. Patrols can be saved any time you're on the main Patrol map, but also not in the middle of an engagement.

Happy hunting!
