Forever Drive (kostenlos; universal; App Store-Link), aus den britischen Supermono Studios, ist einer dieser Indie-Games-Titel, der ohne iOS-Plattform ein düsteres Leben in PC-Download-Portalen geführt hätte. Dank ‘AirPlay Mirroring‘ landen die von Tron angehauchten Leucht-Metropolen nun nicht nur auf iPhone und iPad sondern sogar auf dem großen Fernseher. Tak Fung und seine fünf (Teilzeit-)Kollegen hatten mit EpicWin (2.39 €; App Store-Link) und MiniSquadron (2.39 €; App Store-Link) bereits ihre kleinen App-Store-Sternstunden. Dieses futuristische Rennspiel ist allerdings mehr Experiment als ausgebuffter Racer. Trotzdem sitzt der Kniff: Die Spieler erstellen über den eingebauten Editor Rennabschnitte für die ewigen Rundkurse – eine neue Asphaltpiste ist in wenigen Minuten gezeichnet und hochgeladen. Während der flüchtigen Ladezeit zwischen den einzelnen Rennpassagen bewerten alle aktiven Fahrer das gerade absolvierte Teilstück. Damit trennen sich die guten von den schlechten Konstruktionen. Die besten Modelle sortiert der Algorithmus für mehr Aufmerksamkeit nach vorne. Read More

Many of you should be familiar with SuperMono Studios from their wildly popular MiniSquadron [99¢/Lite] games and most recently from their RPG experience bar-laden to-do app EpicWin [$2.99]. We liked EpicWin when it was released, but that was way back in August of 2010, and you may be wondering what the two man SuperMono development team comprised of Tak Fung and Dave Ferner have been up to since then. Well, basically they have a couple of new games in the works, but for the past 7+ months they have been carefully crafting themselves a high end engine to use for these games. There is all sorts of technical wizardry going on in this built-from-the-ground-up engine, but in terms that even a laymen like myself can understand, and in SuperMono’s very own words, it “makes everything look completely rad”. Have a look at the trailer for the tech demo that shows off Read More

Given the amount of iPhone and iPad apps coming out these days, I'm not all that interested in getting excited about an app before it comes out. There's already plenty of games and apps available now, so worrying about not-yet-released apps isn't all that important. That said, this app called EpicWin is gaining quite a bit of attention -- it's a very originally designed to-do list masquerading as a game that gives points for accomplishing things in real life. If this idea sounds familiar, it's because we've seen it before -- Booyah Society was supposed to be a game that rewarded you for real-life accomplishments, and there have been a few other apps like it poking around. Most of them haven't worked very well -- the issue has always been that there's no validation, no proof that you've done what you said you did in real-life. But EpicWin has some solid Read More

I'm not entirely sure if this is something you'd even classify as a "game", but if there's one thing gamers like it's earning experience points, filling up bars, and just generally leveling up regardless of when, where, or why. The Epic Win app seeks to close the divide between actually doing things in the real world, and this intense desire to level up anything you can in any way possible in the virtual world. The trailer does a better job explaining it than I could possibly could: Epic Win has some serious video game design pedigree behind it, both with Rexbox who worked on Little Big Planet for the PSP and PS3 as well as Studio FungFung who is best known for MiniSquadron [$2.99 / Free]. I'm not entirely sure if earning experience points in an iPhone game is enough motivation to get anyone to do anything, and it does seem Read More

We just got word from UK-based developer Mr. Fung Fung has been hard at work on the upcoming MiniSquadron Special Edition. We really enjoyed the original MiniSquadron [$2.99 / Free] in our review, and are expecting the same kind of arcade style shooter gameplay in this special edition pseudo-sequel. MiniSquadron Special Edition is going to sport 8 brand new levels, 50 more planes to unlock, 2 new power-ups ("rapid fire" and "freeze") along with a new fireball weapon to unleash on the new enemy types which can be seen in the following gameplay trailer: Best of all, MiniSquadron Special Edition will be free to download, and will include a pair of levels to try out. Following that, levels are sold in sets of two for 99¢ a pack. MiniSquadron Special Edition is coming soon, and definitely will be worth downloading if you never played the original just to see what you've Read More

By Georgia, Thursday, Dec 31, 2009 | Minisquadron [$2.99 - itunes link] is a 2D sidescrolling shooter for the iPhone and iPod touch, and my new gaming passion. If you ever enjoyed games like 1942 then you will love this game. Freaking sharks and freaking laser beams! Yes the game has it all. If you have ever wondered what it feels like to be shot down by a giant panda airplane (answer — humiliating), well then this game is a must. More, and screenshots, after the break! In minisquadon you fly around and try to shoot down enemy planes to complete a level. The control of the game is smooth and intuitive. One area on the right is for shooting and another area on the left for flying the plane. As you complete the levels you also unlock enemy planes that then join your squadron and become playable. If you get Read More

December 20th brings us two free games from the Appvent Calender! As usual, we have more than one free game on offer from the Appvent Calender. Though it’s almost the end of our countdown to Christmas, the sales are still going strong, and it’s clear that the calender has been a smashing success—and hopefully an event to be repeated next year! Today’s main offer is the absolutely fantastic MiniSquadron. I gave this 2D aerial shooter a 4.5/5 just a few weeks ago, and you’d be crazy not to snag this little beauty. Here’s the intro paragraph to my review: “MiniSquadron is fluid, smooth, and above all, a fantastic plane-based shooter. The art is great, I love the classical music, and the combat is so much fun. That’s something coming from a girl who’s rarely delved into the 2D shooter genre. Even after I’d played with MiniSquadron enough to write a decent Read More

There have been many plane games to grace our iPhones over the lifetime of the app store. But there have been very few that have gotten it right and in fact most of them made us so dizzy or frustrated that we thought we'd never see a good one. MiniSquadron, although not a flight simulator, is a game that is both well-made and controls like a charm. It's a game created for the casual gamer and has a very obvious light-hearted theme. The music is classical as you shoot down ducks, UFOs, choppers and planes. What struck me as interesting is the game is truly entertaining. Powerups fall from the sky and different planes fire different types of ammo. There was enough variety to keep the game interesting and it almost always kept me trying to beat the next wave. The developers seem to keep updating the game with newer features Read More

MiniSquadron [AppStore] brings to the platform a re-imagination of classic PC games such as Subspace Continuum and Soldat, but does so more in the fashion of the more recently released . Essentially, MiniSquadron is a 2D side-scrolling, physics-based aerial dog-fighting game. If you think that was a mouthful, MiniSquadron boasts 8 different levels, each with 12 increasingly challenging rounds and a whopping 56 different planes to unlock over the course of the game. The game begins with you manning a simple, somewhat slow fixed wing aircraft, capable of firing only a single machine gun. Round to round you are presented with additional and varied enemy types to take down, each with their own attacking style, agility and armor. Through use of a virtual analog stick you control only the pitch of your plan, able to send it into loop-the-loops and other complex maneuvers as you wrestle for the most advantageous position Read More
