John Kooistra originally released Blue Defense! [$1.99] back in late 2008 and the game was both well received by our forum members as well as in our actual review. Since then, Kooistra formed Cat In a Box Games which went on to develop both Red Conquest! [$3.99] and Fastar! [$1.99], two games we also enjoyed quite a bit. Their next project was revealed this afternoon, a sequel to Blue Defense!, entitled Blue Defense: Second Wave!. The Second Wave will be hitting the App Store on September 30th and is absolutely packed with content including 74 different mode-based leaderboards, Retina Display graphics, new enemies, and new controls. This is a sequel I can't wait to play, and we'll post a review as soon as we get our hands on the game.   #12   12-28-2011, 03:03 PM Moderator iPad, iOS 5.x Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Redding, CA, USA Posts: 7,999 Quote: Read More

Freebie Alert! ‘FASTAR!’ Free Today!
Calendar16 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:38:48 UTC +00:00
Fastar! is today’s Free App A Day freebie! We reviewed Fastar! a couple weeks ago and loved it. It’s a brilliant distillation of the Japanese RPG genre, an action game in which you kill enemies to make money to upgrade your skills to kill more enemies as quickly as you can. It features a boatload of game types, online leaderboards, a great sense of humor, and fast and fun gameplay. If a dollar was too much for you then, perhaps free will loosen your download finger?

Free Game Alert – 'Fastar!' from Cat in a Box Games
Calendar16 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 08:31:47 UTC +00:00
Last month, we were treated to the fun and fast-paced Fastar! from developer John Kooistra and Cat in a Box Games. Fastar! is a sarcastic take on action-RPGs that has you blazing through side-scrolling levels as fast as possible, all while collecting coins and upgrading your character as you defeat the game's many square enemies. The funny thing about Fastar! is while it's technically taking jabs at the many action-RPG games out there and the genericness of their enemies and gameplay, it actually accomplishes being an incredibly fun game while doing so. You can read all about Fastar! in our in-depth review of the game and get a good idea of the gameplay from the trailer: If you have yet to pick up Fastar! you're in luck as the game has just gone free for a day. We really liked the game, and found it to be a great fit for Read More

Review: Fastar! for iPhone
Calendar16 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:00:33 UTC +00:00
Fastar! — Fight Angry Squares: The Action RPG! is an RPG in which you, er, fight angry squares? And it’s… it’s action? I’m not doing this justice at all. Come to think of it, though, I’m not sure one could give this bizarre and deceiving game its due with the few paragraphs and screenshots I have for you today. On the surface, it seems inconceivable that Fastar! could have anything to offer apart from its simple mechanics and smartassed sensed of humor, but give this criminally underpriced $0.99 game five minutes to sink its teeth into you, and you’ll never question developers Cat in a Box Games again. Prepare to die, Pink Square thing! Fastar! carefully distills the classic JRPG formula to its barest basics, by which I mean clichés. You play as a nameless, spiky haired protagonist with a giant sword, traveling through environments such as fields, forests, and deserts, Read More

I picked up 2 games today. 2 app store gems. This beauty and 1951 world war one. Both are great! I love both! Graphics 5/5 Gameplay and controls 5/5 they nailed it Enemies 5/5 squares i would bever have thought of something better! They have great interface makes you feel like your playing online! Game modes 10/5 they've outdone themselves with 28 game modes( i think lol) Future updates: Some things they should add Some new swords (why not for the hell of it) How bout a mode where you play as a square and fight circles and triangles! Maybe a story mode! Overall: Id give it a big 4.8/5

Great Fun!
Zorg89 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This game is an absolute must-have for any action-rpg fans, casual or otherwise. It's a race against time in each of the game's modes to see how fast you can complete them. Simple controls allows for easy access for young and old gamers alike. Gameplay is outstanding from what I have gone through so far. Modes start off something like this: Pick a spell to use for that level, run as far as can to the right until you reach the goal while also encountering a variety of "squares" and collecting money to use in the various shops you pass by. Squares come in different sizes and colors...each sporting a different attack pattern and defensive maneuvers. Once you reach the end of a level, your time is recorded. It also gives you a chance to upload your score online, allowing you to compare yourself to other players. All in all, this is a really fun game with good music/sfx, action, and rpg-ish qualities...definately a time-sink if you are looking for lots of replayability. Gotta thank the creators for this gem, I love every bit of it!

When I first heard about a cartoonish hack and slash I expected something generic and boring. What I got was something exciting and refreshing. This is the way an rpg on the iPhone should be
Amazing
B34ST 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Never had I heard about a game literally 2hours before it released and been so blown away by how fantastic it is. This has all the elements of an action rpg with the pick-up-and-playability of Doodle Jump. Fantastic enemies, multiple gameplay modes, multiple enemies, and leaderboards make this game worth coming back to time and time again. The only complaint I have is that I wish you had more ways to customize your character such as different weapons and head types. But not even this can't bring down the fact that this has become the next must have game.
