Default Skyriders (by the programmer of Little Acorns)

UPDATED 02 Oct 2012! - New video, new screenshots, it's almost here!

This is the 2nd iOS project from me, the programmer behind Little Acorns:


Inspired by classic games of the past, such as Trailblazer, Sky Roads, and STUN Runner, Skyriders is a high-speed mix of platforming and racing!

Navigate progressively trickier tracks, whilst trying to maintain your boost streak for big scores - which requires careful flipping between yellow and red, to grab the matching colour stars!

On iOS and Android, the game can be controlled by a choice of either tilt steering, or two on-screen button layouts. Also supports the iCade Mobile controller.

The game features 40 stages over 5 varied zones. The last stage of each zone is an extra-long 'Challenge Stage' - where you must try and get through the entire zone - joined up into one long stage - in one go - giving an opportunity for massive scores for skilled players!

Game Center achievments and leaderboards are included on iOS (Swarm achievements/leaderboards on Android)

The game runs at a super-smooth 60fps on newer devices, with antialiasing too on iPad2/iPhone4S and above.

It's also got a Greenlight page, as I'm considering a PC release too: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...s/?id=92916662

Estimated release date: Sept 2012
Universal App, requires iPhone 3GS or above (iPhone 4+ or iPad 2+ recommended)
Android release requires Android 2.3+
