    Hey everyone!

    Introducing Critical Wave, an intense new dual stick shooting experience.


    HIGH QUALITY download

    Critical Wave is an arcade survival game involving large swarms of enemies, huge boss fights and most importantly a vast amount of fun.

    A vividly coloured and very sharp looking game, Critical Wave was made with the philosophy that variety is the spice of life and gaming. Critical Wave does everything in its power to bring you a new type of dual stick shooter experience.
    By mixing things up, Critical Wave doesn't get stale after a few minutes of shooting. Varying types of enemies with a range of abilities, a wide selection of powerups and upgrades, endless waves of enemies that try to keep you constantly on your toes and a Critical Wave with a special boss that grows larger and larger will have you coming back time and again.

    The game features everything you have come to expect from games in the dual stick genre, and more:

    - Upgrades,
    - Powerups,
    - Easy mode for the people looking for a smooth ride,
    - Hard mode for those who like a real challenge,
    - Integrated online leaderboards with real-time ranking,
    - Wave upon wave of enemies,
    - Mini-Bosses,
    - Mega-Bosses,
    - Explosions,
    - Tons of Bullets,
    - Quite likely the sharpest graphics to ever please your eyes on the iPhone,
    - Loads of fun

    Thanks for the compliments, a lot of effort went into making the graphics as smooth and pretty as possible. We didn't spend nine months on the game twiddling our thumbs :cool:

    Huge nerd comes out in me, but the tri-headed thing in the banner and one of the screens reminds me of Magneton (Pokemon):

    There is a resemblance, yes. Not because we like pokemon or tried to copy that while making the game though :p
    If you check the movie you can see that its function is to pull the player towards it and it has three magnets to do so. All magnets can be destroyed seperately. The eyes are there to signify that it watches the player and can smartly grab on to him.
