    Here is a sneak peek at our up-coming IOS release... While we can't give away too much of the game just yet, we do want to show some menus and other aspects of the game. We're hoping to get feedback, good or bad, especially from the TouchArcade community regarding how we're doing so far. As we near the infamous beta stage, we want to put feelers out there, create some buzz and most importantly get an understanding of what you, the gamers, feel about the project. We appreciate any and all feedback and will take everything you say into consideration as the projects grows!

    "2677" is a galactic conquest word game that will have you battling waves of enemy ships; arming warheads, lasers and other goodies using your word game skills like never before. Build a series of high caliber words against your enemy and gain an opportunity to HACK the enemy ship for even more lethal efficiency.

    One of the Menu Screens:

    The Solar System Navigation Screen:

    The Hacking Screen - Used to Hack into the enemy ship's systems

    The game will be released for iPad, iPhone and Android a little later...

    Keep an eye on http://pixelkick.com for more details, additional screenshots and upcoming video too!

    i'm interested to see what a galactic quest word game would be like, as nothing from the screenshots indicates what it is, and to be honest it seems a little 'overdone'

    also how does the hacking screen work?

    i get that you guys haven't even reached the beta stage and so are reluctant to give anything away, but people will find it difficult to give feedback when there are just some random menu screens posted. I wouldn't even know it was a word game unless I had read the text

    :)

    Hi File Cabinet, thanks for the message, much appreciated. Understandable about the limited images but we just wanted to spark a little initial buzz and find out if there's interest at this point. Hacking screen will be explained soon as well as more content to be released next week.

    Once again, thank you much and we'll continue our progress to get you all more in the coming weeks.

    Filing Cabinet - the Hacking Screen is available when you spell a certain number of "high value words". On the screen you'll see 5 red "alien" symbols, which are scrambled. You'll drag/drop those red symbols in an effort to order them correctly (turning them green). If you manage the task in the very short time provided, you're in! Now you can take steps to cripple the enemy ship in some way (lower shields, disable its weapons, drain its energy core)

    Hi guys and gals, apologies for the delay but we hit a few snags with various issues as well as waiting for bug fixes before we could implement certain code into to game to push forward. I assure you though we are making great headway now and, as promised, video is coming in the next few days. Thank you all for your patience. There's only 2 of us and we're working as fast as humanly possible. Thanks TouchArcaders!

    There's a few different ways of playing actually. You're basically building words to arm lasers, warheads, acquiring shields and regenerating core energy to battle against on screen enemies. We're gonna have time trials where it's PvP turn based game play where you play your turn and you have 5 minutes or so to knock out as many enemy ships as you can in that duration of time. Then your friend plays the same wave of enemies with same allotted amount of time. 3 rounds, each round cutting down the time by a minute or so but increasing your damage and bonuses. There will also be a Battle Mode which allows you complete access to all warheads without having to purchase them with in-game earned credits and you can concentrate on taking out waves of enemies in a tier situation to improve your game for when you're playing in the campaign mode. Note, credits (points) earned in Battle Mode WILL count toward your Conquest credits to then upgrade your weapons in Conquest. Which brings me to Conquest. Conquest is the heart of the game. Battle through 5 planets for total planetary domination, in a nutshell.

    Here's how the words come in to play. Building words allows you to arm lasers, warheads, acquire access to shields and even regenerate core health quicker. Building 4 letter words gets you lasers. Building bigger words increases the type of warhead. The bigger the word, the better and more lethal the warhead will be that you'll be firing at the enemy. Letters will reappear as you use them at random and in random colors. Building words by using blue letters, gives you access to shields for a short period of time. Using red letters, not only amplifies the damage done, but also gets you closer to being able to "hack" the enemy ship and do special crippling effects to said enemy. Finally, blue letters regenerate your core quickly to ensure you always have enough power when you need it most.

    I hope this answered any questions you may have. If you haven't done so already, please check out the video above and best viewed at 1080p. Thank you Bramblett05 for your question and please feel free to ask away if you have any other concerns, questions or feedback. All of which is much appreciated. James Zuniga

    Conquest Game Save...

    Game save menu. Allows you to store up to 6 different game profiles. You know, so your kids or other family members (or buddy, who insists on using your device to play 2677) don't mess with YOUR game. They can make their own. Am I right?
