    I'm just curious, will iMech have any other game modes besides multiplayer?

    F.A.S.T for instance, has all the exercises you can beat to kind of familiarize yourself with the game.

    Either way, the game looks F**KIN AWESOME!! And will probably look/run great on my 3GS.

    Can't wait...

    I havent heard about any other modes, it may have something similer! I guess some knid of training mission would be nice, but from what I've seen of the controls and gameplay, it seems pretty intuitive. I figure, I'll be as good as everyone else on release lol!

    We have a tutorial plus a practice mode where you play against a simple bot. Basic premise is to get you familiar with the controls as well as honing tactics but the meat of the game experience is online head to head. We have plans for more online modes, weapons, mechs, and maps so the sooner the game is released the sooner we can plan for update schedules based on user feedback. So perhaps you guys want a spread cannon or flak gun implemented sooner than CTF/team DM or whatever, we'll be tuning in to the forums and adjusting release schedules based on user input.

    PS: a kick-ass gameplay video of the final build coming soonnnnn

    LOL like I always tell people, if you can play iDracula you can play iMech because the control scheme is very similar. You'll see in our upcoming gameplay video how fluid the motion is and how easy it is to do things like full 180 turns while strafing. If you want to get fancy you can even do things like side-step out of gunfire then reverse boost to get out of enemy range and then boosting to the side of the enemy to flank them and go for the kill, the sky's the limit :D

    Their twitter says they should have a new video up tonight. I was hoping the game was gonna be approved for the weekend, alas not. But still, a new video should keep my chops wet for a little while till the game comes out!!

    For some reason an old show popped into my head when reading through this thread. Anyone remember Battle Bots?

    I read somewhere that iMech was rejected.

    Somebody please tell me that the person who posted that is full of sh*t...

    No it was. Flying Dino told us. They resubmitted it the same day. Think it was the 27th.

    Great.

    So now it'll be out in what, the middle of August?

    At the rate approvals have been going lately, that might be a little optimistic actually.
