    Old unmanned spaceships are drifting aimlessly through the galaxy and are jeopardizing the safety of the intergalactic traffic.

    Your missions as a special robot is to board these unmanned spaceships, find the reactor, and blow up the spaceship.

    Hi everybody,

    I like to introduce my new and 2nd mobile game "StarDroid".

    The first game I released was "Courli" (https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/courli/id711280771). It had good reviews and suited well for children but it was only a success in sweden... :rolleyes:

    My new game "StarDroid" is an old school 2D action adventure game. A mix of classics like AlienBreed or ParaDroid with some puzzle elements and a funny story. It was programmed by myself. The graphics came from DoomCube.

    The release date will be Autumn 2015.

    Cheers
    Christian

    I love ParaDroid. Seems to be a little bit more action here.
    Looking forward to check it out.

    Some users already have been testing the game...

    This is interesting: I wanted to make the controls as easy as it could be.
    So left side is a pad joystick and right side auto-fire with auto-aim.
    But some people try to use the right thumb instinctively to direct the shots.

    So I will implement it to the game. In the settings menu you will have the choice to choose auto-aim or a double stick for 100% control.

    Appreciate the quick response and can't wait to try out the updated controls.

    So far so good.

    We are planning to release the game in the first week of December.

    To Do: There has to be a little bit more sound EFX.

    So if anyone is still interested to test the game - please PM.

    Wow this looks gorgeous!

    Sorry for not responding for testers earlier, I'd be happy to test, but can't commit to 'serious tester' level right now - family/holiday preparation taking up a good chunk of my time...

    But if you need another 'somewhat casual' tester, I've got an iPhone 6 (on iOS9) and a 6 Plus (on iOS8) I'd be happy to run it on. ;)
