Hi everyone, I'm the developer of the Alien Space games (Alien Space and Alien Space Retro), and I have a new game coming out next month called Annihilate. Annihilate will be an arena-style dual-stick shooter where you try to survive increasingly difficult waves of enemies. The game will have leaderboards and achievements through Game Center, and will also support the 60beat controller. Please check out the gameplay trailer below. I hope you guys like it, and feel free to comment with any thoughts. Thank you!
Games like Geometry Wars were definitely an inspiration for this. I actually wanted to make something more casual and easier to get into than something like Alien Space Retro, which had a bit more of a learning curve. ASR has different weapons and you can upgrade stuff as you progress through the campaign, etc, while this is more pick-up-and-go, more straight up survival.
Great to see new work from you, and this looks like a blast. Can't wait for this to make the App Store.. soon?
Thank you both! I'm working right now to finish up all the final stuff before submitting the game to the App Store. That should happen maybe tomorrow, or hopefully at latest Tuesday. So yeah, the game will be out pretty soon. .
Is this universal and is it ipad retina? I was always hoping that a geometry wars or infinity field like game would come along with ipad retina, cause there isn't any with good resolution. Hopefully your game is.
Yes, the game will have native support for retina displays (both iPhone and iPad) as well as iPhone 5 resolutions.
Wow, coolness, was kind of sad before that infinity field hd never upgraded to ipad retina, looking forward to your game, cause alien space games are really good, and like the ipad retina graphics. So coolness, any chance there will be joypad app support cause I play ipad hdmi tv, would love to play on the bigscreen with my iphone as a joystick if it is possible. Thanks!
Just wanted to let everyone know that Annihilate will be in the App Store this Wednesday the 27th. I hope you guys will check it out. Also of interest to those reading this, if you havent played Alien Space Retro... as a special promotion to coincide with the release of Annihilate, ASR will be free on Wednesday and Thursday!
Hey guys, I actually met up with Brad from TA yesterday at GDC and we did an awesome play through of the game and interview. You can check out the video and let me know what you think. Yes, that's me playing while I'm talking (and occasionally dying) with Brad, who was really cool btw. I want to thank Brad and Eli (and the rest of the TA gang there at GDC) for the chance to show off the game. http://toucharcade.com/2013/03/26/gdc-2013-hands-on-with-annihilate-a-dual-stick-shooter/
