Level 9 is not all that difficult. As I said on my review for the game in the store it’s just about the controls. Try just putting your left thumb in the center of the directional stick and just keep it there and move the pressure around gently, you know, balance board style. The ship’s control amazingly well this way; no more agitated swiping at the screen in the heat of battle. Do this and you will get through the levels, it’s very satisfying. I’m quite a way in now, maybe three hours or so but it is a HUGE game. I consider this to be one of the must have games. As the bar keeps getting set higher and higher almost weekly this one sits pretty at the top for me for now. Try the control the way I describe, works a treat. I hope that some more game’s will play into these controls if any dev’s are reading it can be done.

Mission 9 isn’t difficult at all. i don’t recommend using the touch controls. I found the accelerometer works best in this game. The mission took me a few times to complete, but once i could control the ship better and figured out a better strategy it was pretty easy ( always make sure you have the best weapons & shields possible (if you can buy some shields))

Although I don’t remember which one mission 9 was, I remember getting stuck with one mission where you had to destroy cannons. All you have to do is make sure to get rid of the fighters first, and then worry about the cannons. This is by far the best game I have on my phone, I am about 13 hours into it right now and it is just amazing.
I also found the accelerometer to be the best way to control the game (my thumb more than covers the d-pad…).
It looks like this game is going to keep me busy for a while.

galaxy on fire mission 9: in previous chapters, when you can buy a upgraded lazer, do so.. then dont buy anything else until you got cash to buy a shield generator, get that and mission 9 is just delicious caek

more: I dodge the figther first and destroy as many cannons as possible, then turn around, get the fighter then destroy the rest of the cannons on the cruiser, the two on the backside of it I destroy by flying under the cruiser from the front and shot ‘em up
