galcon 1_7 screenPhil Hassey has released a major update to his excellent iPhone strategy game, Galcon [link], one of the most highly recommended games in the App Store.

The update brings the following changes, as Phil lists them:

  • Awesome new graphics and menus for a visual experience second to none!
  • Added in-game settings menus.
  • Left-handed mode!
  • Easier access to multi-player game!
  • Added friends feature allows in-game friending!
  • Instant access to community, including ranks, forums, and chat room!
  • Upgraded in-game controls!

For those unfamiliar, Galcon is a fast-paced arcade strategy game set in space. The game begins with a galactic playfield filled with planets of varying size. The green planets belong to the player, neutral planets are grey, and planets of any other color belong to the enemy. The goal is to take over all the planets.

Phil has done a fine job of evolving Galcon, with numerous updates since its July 2008 initial release.  Anyone who doesn’t already own this one should at least give the free, lite version [App Store] a try.
