    Hi everybody!
    Wanted to officially inform you about AppStore submission of our game Aera. This is flying game for everyone!

    Here are some artwork and screen-shots:

    gameplay video:

    The game is a mix of flight simulator and side-scroller, with controls and camera view specially designed for iPhone/iPod. The physics model of the planes carefully tweaked to make it feel "real", but not too complicate to handle and fun to control and play with. This is why we call it casual flight simulator.

    Game has three kinds of missions: solo/aerobatic, dogfight and race. Also there is FreeFlight mode - no objectives, you just enjoy your plane and the view.

    Please post any questions you have regarding the game here, we'll be answering them. We will post some more screenshots here and give you more details about the game as well, to keep you entertained while waiting for AppStore approval :)

    Well, I must say this will be quite fun to play it looks like. The pictures that you have of the girls are racier than some of the bikini apps though - But, they remind me of the old b-52 nose art that used to be so popular, and was being used up until the gulf war I believe - enter the PC crowd...

    I too am curious about price. I believe that you had previously answered a number of questions before about control issues. I guess I have a question regarding acceleration - is that going to be controlled by tilt? Or some other mechanism. Will you be able to stall, and recover? How good will those aerodynamics be - more casual and forgiving I assume?

    There is 2 players multiplayer over WiFi (Duel and Capture the Flag game modes).
    We plan to support bluetooth PeerToPeer multiplayer in updates.

    The game was submitted on Friday, not sure what is the wait time for review/approval now.

    meh....i don't think so!
    plus+ = kiddie style + only a few games
    openfeint = more of a gamer style + lots of games

    wel, thats my opinon so don't shoot me :p

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! Now that's how you do it! You add Wi-Fi multi-player from the get go, plus it's not local. Making it even better. Instant buy.
