Wow this sounds great! Got to admit I thought it wad going to be a game about the AC130 spectre but this does sound good especially multiplayer. When's it out?
it is kind of like vector tanks, multiplayer is fun, you can play against bots, and others can join in as well in multiplayer you can choose a secondary weapon, fly, teleport pick up etc oh and either fp view, behind, or top down view ditto
dunno if showing a vid or pic goes agains the contract :/ but you can look at the app icon xD edit: well here are some screens from the dev posted a 3d option but 3d glasses are needed (3d movie glasses don't work )
I always loved this game on my old Mac LC III, it is fast and fun even with single player only. Multiplayer completely justifies the price. And it is great they included both game modes.
It's not bad, by any means, but in my opinion it just doesn't work well on the small screen. Radar dots, which are essential to gameplay, are difficult to distinguish. edit: It was a better experience on iPad than on the 2nd gen iTouch due to the radar dots being easier to distinguish, but that came at the price of a lot of jaggies. Still pretty fun, however. Here are a few screenshots of Spectre on iPad. In some way the game looks much better in motion, but there is quite a lot of horizontal rippling which may have been unavoidable in a port of this nature.
