Sine Mora is top-notch in every way. The iOS controls work great. The app icon is different from the graphic used in the game’s title screen because the developers want the iOS users to easily remember that Sine Mora is a game with lots of action. Throughout the game there are many references to the character’s ability to time travel. Time travel is very popular in entertainment of all types but the way it’s used in Sine Mora is very unique and not boring. There is a really complex story that goes along with the action but it is read in between the stages. Speaking of stages, Sine Mora is divided into many of them which you can see blurred out in the stage selection screen right away before you start playing. This means that you won’t have any problem taking a break from the engaging gameplay. There is dialogue between the airplane radios during the levels to make them more enjoyable. The story is incredibly well written from beginning to end and it feels as though it was written by a professional author with all the character’s emotions playing their roles. Sine Mora is everything anyone could want in a mobile game!

This game has one of the best bosses, best gameplay of an airship shootem up game i played since the game 1943, and that was on Capcom Arcade Stadium. If I could create a smash hit acclaimed licened movie, it would be this, imagin Kolobok in live action. I wish there where merchantdice and or action figures of characters and bosses of the game. This hame one of two reasons how a rose became my favorite flower, thank Ruby Rose, RWBY, Rooster Teeth, Monty Omen, Suda51, and this game for my love of roses.

This game is amazing. I have played it on a pc for a while and I was so surprised when I found it for iPad. I bought it immediately. But then came the big disappointment of having to play with a virtual controller in the touch screen instead of being able to play with my actual controller. This is a game that requires fine controller input and it becomes incredibly frustrating to play it like that. I would say that the game is simply unplayable with touch screen. It would be a 5 star game if it had controller support. Sad :(
