There’s no plot, there’s no script. We get a spaceship and the goal is to shoot all the triangles, circles and squares that are flying free on the background. That simple. But if you are a passionate of this kind of games you will know that its simplicity it’s its main strength. PewPew 2 includes 7 game modes (2 of which must be unlocked), 5 new unlockable ships with offensive defense, 1 extra campaign, with 3 levels of difficulties and boss figths and many other improvements regardings joysticks, music and rendering.
There are online leader boards to check other people scores, as well as online replays. The relaxing music is quite good and not intrusive at all. As you advanced through levels, you may unlock some new ships with offensive defense (bullets shot in every direction when hit). As the developer says in the app description (which, i have to say, it is gracefully complete and understandable), the high frame-rate is what defines this game. It is real and improve the user experience.
PewPew have been developed by Jean-François Geyelin, who has also launched PewPew (free version). It has to be said that he has well done those apps and his descriptions make clear all the game concerns.
If you’re a shoot’em up games lover, you will love this one. Simple, fast and reliable. Some aspects could be improved, but it deserves its 4 stars rating.
PewPew 2 is the best multidirectional shoot them up on Android.
Expect retro graphics, megatons of enemies, and a frame rate achieved by no other game (except PewPew).
There are nine game modes, and a campaign with 3 levels of difficulties so even the weakes... *AHEM*
So even the strongest of you will have some challenge!

A few notes:
-On older devices kill as many background app you can, this can considerably increase the smoothness.
-Seriously, kill them all.
-On some devices (such as the Nexus One) the touch screen has trouble handling touches on the same horizontal or vertical axis. That is why by default the joysticks are in diagonal. You can try moving the joysticks to the bottom using the settings menu, but it might result in poor controls.
Recently changed in this version:
-Changed Pacifism mode.
-Reset the scores for the Pacifism mode.

I bought this game because I had downloaded the original & had a blast with it. I've got to say that this game is still worth the money I've had it for years.

Should not require 36MB if it's actually 12MB, otherwise OK.

It's really fun, but the Anathema boss in chapter 3 is impossible. Too much crap swarming you.
