    Hello Touch Arcade,

    I'd like to show you mgaia's upcoming mobile war game, Tank Invaders. It's a bomber game inspired by old-school arcade shooters and somewhat by tower defenses and 80's action movies.

    The maniac villain Terror has readied his forces for war and is unstoppably attacking General Rogers's base! To counter that, the general has summoned you to control the missile-teleporting system DEFENSE and destroy that madman's war machines!

    * Universal App - includes support for iPad High Res and Iphone 5

    Here's our teaser trailer:


    And, for those who want to take a deeper look at the mechanics and how the player interacts with the game, here's a recorded gameplay session:


    Some highlights:
    • Launch missiles against various types of vehicles - ground and air
    • Face huge boss encounters in different scenarios to test your endurance and agility
    • Collect different types of power-ups to modify your missiles
    • Fuel the awesome OnFire weapon and rain an unstoppable stream os missiles over Terror's pawns
    • Bombard your enemies with special magnetic and nuclear bombs
    • Level-up and unlock new weapons, gadgets and enemies
    • Upgrade all your weaponry and become a master of war
    • Enjoy Rogers's and Terror's voice-overs as they join the battle
    • Leave your mark on the top of the Gamecenter leaderboards
    • Complete dozens of missions and achievements

    A couple of screenshots from the boss fights:

    Yeah, that seems an interesting way to describe the experience hehe

    One of our ideas to 'explain' the gameplay was that you were controlling a massive battleship, launching missiles down on the battlefield. In the end we stuck with the teleportation idea for we thought the movement was too slow to justify a war aircraft.

    A fresh take on the Missile Command formula. I like it. :)

    Oh yeah, Missile Command and Space Invaders are definitely our greatest golden-days sources of inspiration for this game!

    Hey, Gaiamark! Don't lose hope yet, for I'm working on Tank Invaders at this very moment!!! hahaha

    We've been through some rough times since I last posted here and had to delay Tank's release over and over again. Fortunately we're back on track and now I'm just working on some last adjustments before submitting the game to the AppStore. It should be live in a month or so!

    I'm glad and kinda surprised to see someone still knew this thread existed hehe. I'll make sure to post here when the game hits the store!! :)
