hi stan! welcome to TA, well anyway your game looks pretty cool. what's the gameplay like? moving side-to-side while shooting? by the way the red ninja dude looks like he came out of Mortal Kombat
Looks retro, I like it. What are the other features? Online leaderboards? Achievements? Multiplayer? How many levels?
Thanks for the welcome! The shooting in the game is entirely gesture based, so your character's shots fire in the direction of your finger swipes. There are two types of shots - power shots, which are slow and quick shots which are fast. Power shots will destroy quick shots, but quick shots travel faster. In addition you can deflect your opponent's shots via a parry system. You can also use your character's special abilities. In addition to the different special abilities, each character has different stats: speed, power, and armor and feels distinctly different. Check out the Pocket Gamer preview for more info on the game: http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Battle+Blasters/news.asp?c=17069 Facebook connect leaderboards and updates, unlockable characters via completing the game on various difficulty levels. Three difficulty levels (easy, medium, and hard) with supreme difficulty level unlockable upon completing the game on hard. Multiplayer mode is available on the same device.
that looks really cool, the graphics are very smart. Will definitely pick it up when it comes out. What price are you thinking of?
Thanks the_ref. We are still not fully decided on the price point. We were thinking either $2.99 or $3.99. We are planning to support the game post release with content updates.

Thanks! In a split-screen 2 players mode, players control opposite sides of the iphone (similar to Light Bike split-screen MP). We found this mode to be a lot of fun in our play-testing sessions! After the release of the game, we will in all likelihood start working on WiFi MP.
shooter or fighter well which is it? I guess I can't jump across that big lava pit and punch the other guy in the face. Well I love shooters and fighters so this looks like my kinda game. lets hope the price is right
This game looks great! I saw this a little while ago in person and it's awesome! Great job on the art guys and REALLY looking forward to this! Keep me posted!
Graphics and animation look good. I especially like the detailed backgrounds. Looking forward to seeing how it plays.

We are scheduled for release on January 11, so we are excited and looking forward to the release In the meantime, here is an alternative trailer for the game that we just posted: <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O8cDh8YSY8Y&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O8cDh8YSY8Y&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>" frameborder="0"> Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
