syntheticvoid ,

I've had the free version of this on my phone for so long, and it took me so long to actually get into playing it seriously, that I forgot it was the free version - and really just figured it was a free game with ads.

Then, while scrolling through the store looking for a new SHMUP to snag, I saw that Operation Dracula didn't say 'OPEN', and instead - showed that $2.99 price tag.

Well.... I fired up the free version again, and about 2 days later, I picked up this paid build.

I have no clue what took me so long to get into it, or why I kept just glancing over this version while scrolling through the AppStore, but I'm kicking myself for it now.

This is a GREAT shoot-em-up, with FANTASTIC visuals, sounds, scoring and a hardcore difficulty that should keep even the most seasoned bullet-hell gamers wildly entertained - and this is coming from someone that is VERY picky about their SHMUPS. This fits right in with the 10 or so other top notch titles that are not offloaded in my SHMUP folder right now (4 of which are Cave offerings). So, if that tells you anything.... .... I'd be surprised to hear of any serious fan of the genre bad mouth this one.

Oh, and THANK YOU for keeping this title active all these years (especially after the 'OS update that shall never be mentioned'). You guys rock!
