Ketara Software has released their first space shooter SpaceX [App Store] as a free download for a limited time. The developer describes his intention:
The idea was to make a fun, fast-paced, and beautiful and deep game which invokes the feeling of the early 90s shooters I used to play as a kid. As you fly more missions, you can upgrade your ship, weapon systems, etc., and control the ship using touches or tilt controls.
The game offers a traditional vertical scrolling shoot’em-up with tilt or touch controls as well as a number of upgrades in between levels.
Video shows a weapons-upgraded ship:
Overall a reasonably implemented shoot’em-up that will waste some time and is worth the free download. The inclusion of a global high-score is also nice.
App Store Link: SpaceX, Free for limited time
video made me smile =)
Looks like a good 3 minutes of fun. Surely 2.
This is game isn't bad, but I like the Motionx physics engine and their game Poker quest more. This game doesn't have much long term replay value aside from the achievements. This app probably won't stay on my iphone for long but at least it was only a buck :)
Wow, I truly thought that "flick a die" said "f--- a die".
LOL.
Nice video!!
I like how ngmoco's games involve some sort of achievement system, it's like the Xbox 360.
I don't think I'll buy this, looks too confusing. :P
If a lite version comes around I'll try it out and see if I like it.
Yes... the English language can be very confusing.
:-s
I think I have just spent a >4 hours playing this... that just about said it all. For 0.99 it's a steal.
Looks like all the other boggle games, that never got reviews because they weren’t put out by ngmoco. I’m sure it’ll be free in a month and plastered with banners.
I am a fan of Word games. Too many word games coming up in the past 2 weeks. Recently shifted to WordsWorth from Wurdle. Will wait for more reviews before buying Word Fu.
Yeah, definitely says f#€k a die. Can't believe they didn't notice
@Penguin Man, I am buying this now because of that observation! You should ask Ngmoco for a commission!
@good, this game appears to be featured because of good production, included wi-fi, and nice overall polish. Which other vocab games released recently @$.99 have that?
Of course it says "F-- a die!" Why do you think the game is called Word FU?
Man, this is a very unique, and thought provoking game. This is the first "word" game I've purchased, and I'm very pleased. I have contemplated Scrabble many times, Word Fu almost fills that void....I like the time limit that the game currently runs on is fine, I think that the game soul highly benefit from say two moe longer times as an option.
Very good job Ngmoco! Thanks.
Wow this game is brilliant. Its like a ninjad up version of the popular channel four word game- Countdown, but without Carol Vordeman. Hold up - Carol isnt on channel 4 either. It's like countdown(ish) - with extra pow!
I'm the developer of Mach Dice and yes indeed, they are using some of my code for the dice physics! As a hobbyist iPhone app developer, it's very exciting to see it used in an actual professional product. And this game's a lot of fun to play! It's the first game that I've gotten my wife to play on my iPhone. In fact, it's a little hard to pry it away from her so I can continue programming on it... =)
What is the record score adn can you please make an app for the hero (droid) phones.
