Bane Games Well-Known Member Nov 7, 2010 101 0 0 Brisbane, Australia #6 Bane Games, Aug 25, 2011 We've made the controls as simple and intuitive as possible. You tap anywhere on the screen to shoot your primary weapon. Once you unlock more ships you fire your secondary weapon (eg naval guns, harrier jets, CIWS defence gun, etc) by dragging a line from the weapon to the target. I can put together a short video showing how this works if you like. sugimulm Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2010 2,456 46 48 The last time zone for iOS game releases :( #7 sugimulm, Aug 26, 2011 Please do, game looks really good. jumpman475 Well-Known Member Aug 31, 2009 1,899 0 0 Student Ithaca, NY #8 jumpman475, Aug 26, 2011 Video would be great. This game does look good. Bane Games Well-Known Member Nov 7, 2010 101 0 0 Brisbane, Australia #9 Bane Games, Aug 26, 2011 Your ship (or fleet) will be maneovering through canals, past channels and even in open ocean just to avoid the waves of enemy units. This is automatic and lets you focus on managing the multiple weapon systems at your disposal (such as harriers, choppers, CIWS and naval guns) I'm working on the video this weekend and will upload as soon as I'm finished Touchjudge Active Member Jul 19, 2011 33 0 0 #10 Touchjudge, Aug 26, 2011 The focus on the weapons systems sounds like a lot of fun. Looking forward to the second video.

We're working on it this week and I'll upload them as we make them.

Epic! Scott. jumpman475 Well-Known Member Aug 31, 2009 1,899 0 0 Student Ithaca, NY #17 jumpman475, Aug 29, 2011 LOL.
