    Hi Everyone,

    Just wanted to give you a sneak peek of our soon to release game 2360: Battle for Cydonia. We plan to submit it by end of month. With an innovative control mechanism (you use line drawing techniques to move your robot and touch and drag techniques to separately control each arm's weapons - all supporting multi-touch), mission based levels, and lots of weapon upgrades, we're confident Battle for Cydonia will challenge and impress you. Hope you like it!

    Yowza! That looks awesome!

    I have to ask, as everybody else here knows my constant question of all games showing up here:

    Is there a Scored Survival Mode and are the baddies' positions pre-scripted or do they spawn at random points?

    Oh, and you probably want to move this thread to "Upcoming iPhone and iPod Touch Games"

    The initial release won't have a Scored Survival Mode but it's high on our list as an update feature.

    In regards to enemy spawning, it's actually a mix. It depends on the mission: enemies are generated in pre-scripted areas on the map in some levels and in others they are generated in a random way.

    Didn't even notice the Upcoming thread. Oops. It doesn't appear I can move the thread (unless I'm just missing it). I've sent an email to the mods to help move it. Thanks for pointing that out :)

    We're still finalizing our price however we do plan to have a launch sale at $0.99 for the first week, maybe longer if sales are really strong at that price point.

    If this was the first game on the App Store, then you would be seriously rich. The game reminds me of Fallout 3 somehow lol :D

    This looks very nice. Finally a proper bird's view shooter. Alive-4-Ever is like the only other good one right now, and that one's already getting boring.

    LOL I think that would be true for a lot of games! We are though really excited about this release and hope it will do well. We do plan to update with additional games modes and also mission packs assuming it has strong sales to support ongoing development on it.

    Brisk mobile tend to support their games well. Submarine got a couple of updates and Medieval was transformed with heaps of updates over time, so I have faith.

    I look forward to this game! Looks very good.

    That is our plan. Unless the game totally flops and doesn't have any sales to support continued development our plan is to add that. I don't think it'll flop though. We think the game is pretty awesome :)

    Just wanted to let everyone know that we've submitted 2360: Battle for Cydonia to Apple today. Hopefully it'll be approved soon. I'll create a thread in the new release section once it's live!

    I must say, from the video it looks quite excellent!
    Pricing?

    I like how it's a swipe to control movement and tap-on-enemy for fire control, reminiscent of older mech control games.
    And the dual-gun arms look great.
