    Formerly known as One Spear Savage. Tap controls. I enjoyed the MOBA-like vibe I got from skillfully impaling multiple targets from across the map. This is a single player arena high scoring game though. And like the title says, you have one spear to kill them all. Gotta pick it up after throwing (like in Hoplite)!

    One Spear Arena is an action arena spear-em-up. Fight your opponents on randomly generated maps with JUST ONE SPEAR.

    Move around the single-screen area by tapping where you want to go. Tap and hold to throw your spear to get kills and complete objectives. Each player gets only one spear, and they have to go pick up their own spear once they've thrown it.

    - iPad2/mini+, iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4th Gen recommended
    - iOS 4.3+
    - Game Center support for leaderboards and achievements
    - 3 map types, in 2 variants each
    - 3 game modes
    - total of 18 unique combinations, each with its own leaderboards
    - 45 achievements

    Every game is played on a unique map, with randomly generated features. Players complete objectives across 3 modes and 6 maps. The spears are physically modelled and players can pull off a variety of trick and advanced throws as they improve their skills. Increase your score by accumulating multipliers, killing opponent and completing objectives.

    Jungle & Jungle II maps are filled with explosive barrels -- use them to your advantage.

    Snow Storms & Snow Storm II maps are covered in snow -- you must throw your arrow in the fight direction to compensate for the direction of the storm.

    Volcano & Volcano II maps feature Volcanoes! Watch out for the exploding lava.

    Spear Match is the classic death match-style kill everyone mode. Get as many kills as you can. Increase your multiplier by getting kills without missing.

    Capture the Flag makes you capture markers on the map to increase your multiplier. Hold on to them (by keeping opponents away) to avoid losing your multiplier and increase your score.

    Death Race gives you a series of relays you have to get to before they expire. Scoring high means not missing a relay and trying to get some kills along the way.

    One Spear Arena was recently shown at Indiecade East and got fantastic response -- thanks to all those who played ;)

    148 Review 3/5 http://www.148apps.com/reviews/spear-savage-review/
    "The game becomes very stop-and-go, and there’s not much flow or momentum to the proceedings. Any kind of movement is just to stay alive, and then it’s about stopping and firing. And if the player and an enemy fire at the same time, they both die, pretty much. As well, while I understand the game has its origins in a game jam game and my expectations are not that high, the visuals still feel a bit too spartan for my tastes."

    Played some of this as I had moments here and there today and it is a good game worth the download. Just think of it as a highscore arcade game. It's not super easy and not too crazy with the controls that its hard to get used to. Definitely give this a try.
