The controls are mostly effective, but can sometimes feel sluggish using a touch-to-move system rather than an onscreen joypad. Your ship fires automatically as long as you are touching the screen so you can play the game using only one finger or your thumb. You can acquire three different weapons as you play and, just like top-down arcade shooters of the past, Vpl-Fx40 Manual lets you upgrade each weapon with more streams of bullets and higher fire power. To help you when the game gets really chaotic, you have an option to slow down the action for a short time. Some aliens drop purple tokens that fill up your bonus bar. Once it's completely full, simply hit the button in the lower right to slow down the action, giving you more time to rain down destruction with your weapon of choice. Even if you're out of bonus energy, you have one more option with the devastating Super Bomb that will take out every enemy on screen. In true arcade shooter tradition, at the end of every level, you'll need to take on a powerful boss alien and even in the early levels, we found it to be very challenging.

Vpl-Fx40 Manual even includes a short, unobtrusive tutorial. This app isn't for everyone (especially since it's not free),

but for anyone who wants a fun way to space out and unwind--or to keep a young kid entertained--Vpl-Fx40 Manual is a pretty slick package. Vpl-Fx40 Manual is a stylish, crisp-looking, colorful e-book reader and storefront that runs on Apple's iOS devices. The latest version of the software includes support for textbooks, a new addition to the Vpl-Fx40 Manual for students. As with other e-book readers, Vpl-Fx40 Manual responds to the device's accelerometer and switches between landscape and portrait modes. Its controls disappear when unused, and a swipe (or tap on the left or right side of the screen) will cause the pages to turn. Vpl-Fx40 Manual' page-turning is smooth and engaging, with page corners digitally curling toward you as you advance, but this behavior is only a minor cosmetic difference between what you'll find in other digital readers.
