We first reported on Craneball Studios’ beautifully drawn blimp game back in April. The game has finally arrived in the App Store for the low price of $0.99 [App Store].
You are a blimp pilot. A war veteran, who wants to live the rest of your life in quiet and peace. Working your day job on a trading planet, everything seems to be ok. Suddenly the planet is assaulted by an evil empire. Your blimp is upgraded with bombs and you are going to save the planet…
The game requires you to pilot around the various levels accomplishing specific missions and destroying enemy blimps. Controls are implemented with a mix of accelerometer for direction and virtual buttons for bombs and thurst. Blimp features 20 levels, particle effects, 5 different locations, and global high score with Facebook integration.
The game has been getting rave reviews amongst the early adopters in the forum with many pointing out the wonderful sound effects (headphones recommended). For the introductory price of $0.99, it’s probably an easy pick up. The full price of the game is expected to be $2.99.
