It's a good time to be a word game fan. Every few weeks a new genre standout arrives, ready to tide you over until the next big hit. Now App Store superstar Zach Gage (Unify [$1.99/Free], Bit Pilot [99¢], Halcyon [$1.99]) has thrown his hat into the word game ring with SpellTower [$1.99] . Those of us who fit in the Venn diagram intersection of iPad owners and word game fans benefit -- SpellTower is elegant, clever and fun. Not that it's entirely unique. We've all played any number of games that make use of SpellTower's main mechanic. Presented with a grid of letters, you spot a word and trace a path through its letters to select it. You can trace in any direction, loop diagonally back on your path, and make words of any length past two. And if that were all there was to it, this would be a Read More
TUAW's Daily iPhone App: Bit Pilot
Calendar16 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 13:00:00 UTC +00:00
You're in for a treat with this one -- Bit Pilot is a dual-stick shooter without any actual shooting. You guide a tiny little ship around a screen while asteroids and various obstacles float past you, and try to stay away from trouble for as long as you can. Shield powerups also float by, but over time, of course, things get tougher and tougher, until you're frantically trying to dodge everything the game tosses your way. The ambient feeling of this one is where the real brilliance comes in -- some awesome music and really amazing pixelated graphics sell the concept perfectly, and I love how the game basically unlocks itself as you play it. Like Tiny Wings, another really solid one-man title, different modes and goals open up the more you play, so there's always something new to find, unlock, or aim for. Zach Gage's Bit Pilot is an excellent Read More

Bit Pilot [$.99] chose a bad time to be released on the App Store. The retro-influenced dodging game hit a week after One Man Left’s Tilt to Live [$2.99 / Lite / HD] graced the platform, drowning out the much of acclaim it would have garnered otherwise. Perhaps the update that just hit this morning will give Bit Pilot some fresh legs and some new eyes, as it adds a lot of new components to the core game, as well as some fresh tweaks. Bit Pilot 2.0 adds a total of three new tracks as well as two new modes: Tunnels and Super Massive Mode, respectively. The latter has you gathering power-ups and getting larger in the process, while the former has you dodging massive, creeping space rocks. The patch also adds new taunts, friends list rankings, Game Center support, cumulative score tracking for his stat pleasure, and most importantly, universal Read More

Today’s list contains the extremely popular Bit Pilot as well as another classic title with pilot in its name, Paper Pilot.  The only iPad app we could track down is actually a really useful one that allows you to do a lot more than just record audio. Bit Pilot ($.99 -> Free): A retro inspired game that features intuitive swipe controls.  The idea of the game is to survive for as long as possible by navigating your ship around the asteroids.  To pilot your ship, simply swipe in whichever direction you want to head.  The game also features OpenFeint integration. Bit Pilot is available for free today only (6/21). It has a four-star rating. Paper Pilot ($2.99 -> Free): A classic iPhone title if there ever was one.  In the game you guide your paper airplane through a variety of environments in order to collect paper clips.  The paper airplane is Read More

Zach Gage's Bit Pilot has gone free for today. The retro-inspired dodging game stands on its own with fast paced gameplay, well implemented touch controls and a great 8-bit soundtrack. The game allows you to control a small ship in an asteroid field using single or dual swipes. Use one thumb for smaller movements, or both for more rapid movements. All the while, your job is to dodge the asteroids and lasers while picking up bonuses.

Bit Pilot Review

Published: March 30, 2010 Comment         Games like Bit Pilot are why I love the iPhone. Before the thought enters your head I will acknowledge what I just said; game reviews can be a haven for hyperbole, and especially when their scores lay near the far ends of the quality spectrum. I don’t give this praise to Bit Pilot lightly, and I can say with confidence that anyone looking for retro themed fun cannot do any better than Bit Pilot on the iPhone. Any game that I will play until my eyes hurt and then wait impatiently until my next play session is a winner in my eyes, although not literally I suppose. To drag out the unsightly gag: when playing Bit Pilot, what you see is exactly what you get. The gameplay in the first seconds of the game does not differ greatly from what you will be playing Read More
Retro Inspired Games: Bit Pilot and iJumpman

Bit Pilot Bit Pilot is a retro-inspired dodging game that comes from Zach Gage, who also brought us the multi-touch puzzler Unify. Bit Pilot's biggest flaw seems to be that it was released only a week after Tilt to Live and likely drowned out by the cheers for that game. Bit Pilot, though, does stand on its own with fast paced gameplay, well implemented touch controls and a great 8-bit soundtrack. The game allows you to control a small ship in an asteroid field using single or dual swipes. Use one thumb for smaller movements, or both for more rapid movements. All the while, your job is to dodge the asteroids and lasers while picking up bonuses. It's one of those simple games in which death can happen very quickly, so you gotta try just one more time. The swipe/touch controls are very nicely done and responsive. A hands on video Read More
