It's time for some retro fun again! iFighter was a big hit for us last year. We tried to do a different kind of game after that and we made Stone Wars for a change. But all of us are big fans of shoot'em-ups so we return to this genre once again for another new title: Super Laser! The story: ---------- In Year 2036, the Earth's population has reduced to only 1.5 billions due to resources shortage and global climate warming. The bizarre climate is somehow suitable for the aliens to move in. These aliens can attach to any organizm or machinery to evolve into new forms of life. The Earth has unfortunately become their second home. The human beings must act fast to destroy the aliens before they conquer the whole world. The Earth Alliance secretly sends a fighter equipped with the ultimate and most advanced weapon, called "Super Laser", to the aliens' stronghold... Features: --------- - 6 huge missions + the final battle - 3 difficulties - many different enemy types and devilish big bosses - control options: motion, joypad or touch - state of the art graphics - original background music - Plus+ integration Some screenshots: ------------------ We'll probably submit the game at the end of March. Comments and critiques are very welcome! Thanks, James
iFighter was my first shmup on the iPod Touch and has always remained there. I look forward to playing the new game. It looks great!
wi-fi cooperate mode is very interesting, can the 2 ships connect together to make powrful attack, like Twinbee?
This definitely reminds me of flying tigers / radiant silvergun. That is a very good thing. Best of luck!
A small update on the development: The lite version is out and the full version will be ready in 2~3 weeks. Please check out the video of the Lite version in the original post
2-3 weeks? That's exact copy of the statement in the OP. Nevermind, take your time. I'd rather the game was perfect when it comes out. Thanks for the update.
They edited the original post to reflect that it will be in 2-3 weeks. That's not something they put in the post when they first posted it. Though admittedly, I was a little confused as well
I reckon eugekava is just being humor We've been working extremely hard on the final version for a few months now. Although we only have a small team (3 full-timers) on the project, we try to make it as polish as possible. We definitely need to take on a smaller scale project for the next one as a break!
I absolutely love the homing laser weapon. I can also see that iFighter's checkpoint system was implemented as well. Boss fight was awesome. It was a tough boss, but perfectly balanced. You can avoid most projectiles fired by it if you are nimble enough. I wonder if this was the first level of the full game? The tilt control is simply perfect. I went through the level using just the tilt control and found it to be really responsive. Apart from a couple of minor grammatic errors in Help section, this game shows incredible level of polish. Can't wait for final release.
No, I'm afraid not. It's a more traditional vertical shooter like our previous game iFighter. Thanks for the good words. Much appreciated! The Lite version is the first level of the full version indeed. We've corrected some grammatical mistakes in the Help session already based on the comments from another thread here. If you find any other errors, please let us know and we'll make the corrections accordingly.
Awesome Played lite version and it was good. This is one of those flying arcade games thats really hard to get. Laser is awesome, pretty cool. Looking forward to the full version.
Our sincerely apologizes for the long wait, but this time I can be 100% sure to say that the wait is almost over. All the development work has been done and we are doing the final testing. We'll submit the final build to Apple very soon! There are 7 missions in the full version of Super Laser and here are 2 screenshots from mission 3: An additional player ship is added too:
Ah man, this looks awesome. iFighter is the best shooter I've played since I've had my phone. Good stuff!
