Comets and Craters

Hi Everyone,

We are pleased to finally reveal our upcoming "Comets and Craters" game. We have uploaded the website including a short promo video clip and will be adding screenshots and an instructional video over coming weeks as we work through the final stage of development.

Website: www.cometsandcraters.com

BACKGROUND STORY:

The year is 2120. The past decade has seen Earth become the target of increasing numbers of Comets and Meteorites in our solar system. A defence system known as "NeoGrid" has been created to redirect these Comets and Meteorites to crash in the secure compound of Space Station "Orion" based on the Moon. The rich mineral and crystal deposits left by these exploding Comets and Meteorites has provided a valuable fuel source and manufacturing material for Earth.

The abundance of such deposits has lured Alien attacks to Earth seeking to obtain our new resources for their own purpose. NeoGrid has been expanded to defend against such attacks, however an Ancient Alien race known as the Dracone has infiltrated NeoGrid's defence system and invaded Orion by assimilating our defence vehicles and personnel in an attempt to destroy our Space Station.

You are the last hope of defending Orion and Earth against total annihilation. You must use Orion's resources to construct Defence Towers and Mines. Upgrade the Space Station and Processing Docks to expand Orion's mining and defense tower capabilities to defeat the Dracone invaders and save the human race.

Thanks for the kind feedback, glad you like it so far.

 

Just updated www.cometsandcraters.com with new images on the screenshots page after changing the terrain map and some tower upgrade graphics. Gameplay page has also been updated. I have also updated the Features list and Screenshot samples in my first post. Hopefully will be submitting soon. We will produce a full video once submitted to App Store and post on our website.

 

Not for version1.0 sorry. We have just the three Modes for initial release, however do have updates planned. Since you mentioned endurance mode, it is something we will look at.

EDIT: @Muzic <3, sorry I posted the same time. Thanks for the encouraging feedback, really appreciate it.

 

Thought I would advise that we just submitted Comets and Craters to the App Store for approval.

I have also added some more screenshots in my first post. Version 1.0 will include Scoreloop Leaderboard/Highscore system. We will upload instructional and gameplay Video's next week.

 

Just added a video clip to YouTube of some gameplay showing many of the features such as: Towers, Mines, Enemy, weapons and upgrades/repairs in action.

 

Comets and Craters - Tower Defense

Whilst we are waiting for approval from Apple for our App Store release, we thought we would upload ten instructional video's to our website that Steve just recorded explaining the gameplay and features of our game for the novice Tower Defense player.

Although the video's might state the obvious for the seasoned Tower Defense players on this board, they do contain a lot of insight to upgrades, scoring, Towers and Enemy Vehicles in the game.

 

Yes it's finally out, wahoo! took a week longer than expected in review.
