Sad Cat Software released Project Phoenix into the App Store tonight. Project Phoenix is a very nice twin stick tank shooter with large levels and frantic gameplay. Oh, and it's FREE for a limited time.
After successfully defending a key research facility from invading aliens in "Team Alpha" you have been promoted, and are now in charge of the army's most advanced tank prototype. Your mission? Free the Earth of the evil invaders, which are going to throw their best military technology at you. Can you do it and save the planet?
The developer's gameplay video shows the action which can get intense with tons of enemies on screen:
The game is well controlled using left and right dual thumb sticks. The current version of the game spans 7 different missions/levels each with a specific goal. Kills award cash which can be used to upgrade your vehicle's armor, weaponry and more. Health and power-ups are also strewn across the levels giving items such as helper vehicles or air strikes. The game has a great classic arcade feel to it and you really should download while you can.
Project Phoenix is free for a "very, very" limited time. The developer plans on added more levels and features to the game over time.

Frenzic, Ramp Champ, 33rd Division and this, all free at once! Good thing I stayed up late
Hehe I like how the video fades out to hide the fact that the car drives on top of the bridge supports.
why free?
it's too give this game promotion and generate more buzz
how long will it be free?

This game is pretty fun and definitely worth the download
Wow, like Assault Heroes (on XBLA, for the uninitiated), except all chaotic. Sounds good!
For free!?! Why wouldn't you?
Now I've played it I can see why it's free…
Sounds like fun and for free how can is say no.
It does remind me of one of my favorite arcade games that somebody does need to get onto porting over to the iphone. Time Pilot.
Oleg is the best !
My new favorite dual-stick shooter! I don’t even like dual-stick shooters
Get it, whether it’s still free or not!
Very fun game. I'm going to watch for those new levels and updates even if they are paid dlc.
Darn. Just missed it.
Not free anymore.

Free for a few hours only
Yeah.. That was a *very* short time on the free thing. Dangit, I'm buying it anyway. :p
