My humble suggestion for developer to improve on this game

1. The user interface needs a little redesign for the iPad as there’s so much wasted space, needs a good comparison between items in the shop
2. A moving planet that’s slowly spinning 😀
3. I wish to visit some alien planets!
4. Market News flash ticker to indicate the need of certain items from other space stations which will determine the price of goods
5. Multiplayer options will me amazing if there’s co-op missions
6. I understand there’s in-app purchase for Galaxy on Fire 2TM for additional storyline & more called Valkyrie…I hope it can be added to the HD version too!!

Overall, this game is one of the best space exploration & trading game out there in iOS with the new graphical enhancements will means more hours lost to this game for sure!

However for fans who already spent countless hours on the Galaxy on Fire 2 before HD version comes out, it’s kind of pricy to upgrade to the HD version unless you can endure the same story all over again 😀
