    Finally! After 10 months, I am extremely excited to announce Above & Beyond has been submitted to the App Store and is awaiting approval. Here's hoping for a smooth process.

    App Store price will be $2.99

    In celebration of the submission, I'm releasing a new gameplay trailer!


    Machine guns, lasers, missiles, n' 'splosions yay!







    Original Trailer



    Engage in action packed air-to-air and air-to-ground combat with enemy aircraft, battleships, and turrets as you battle for control of island strongholds.


    With an armada of customizable combat aircraft at your disposal, you are challenged to explore and conquer the fully 3D, open-world environments of Above & Beyond Air Combat.

    [​IMG]

    ::: Features Summary :::

    - Explore and conquer over 60 islands in a fully 3D, open-world environment.
    - Customize 12 advanced combat aircraft
    - Upgrade your aircraft with over 15 different weapons and numerous thrusters, shields, and other enhancements.
    - Engage in 3 unique battle modes: Gauntlet, Survival, and Conquest.
    - Share Highscores and Achievements via the fully integrated OpenFeint 2.1 service.
    - Enjoy *your* music with in-game music library integration.
    - Several options to calibrate and tune controls to your personal preference

    Insta-buy. It looks great, has lots of features, and seems to be severely under priced. I hope you have good luck with your game.

    Trust me, this game is a must buy. The game is extremely responsive and there's plenty of replay value. Beta testing this game was definitely a fun experience, I can tell you that much.

    Thanks guys! I've been awake for some 30 hours now, so I'm going to sign off. I'm thinking I might create another mini trailer tomorrow to show off some of the features I didn't get into in the last one.

    That'll help pass the time, at least :)

    This game looks friggin' awesome, and although I enjoyed SciFly, this is head and shoulders above it in every way. Insta-buy for me

    +1 to hoping the approval process is quick and painless

    Don't worry guys, you will only LOVE this game! :( :)D)



    It's pretty amazing to see how different Beta 1 is from the newest Beta (I think It's beta 6... ;))
    The game speed increased alot and runs extremely smooth now! :)
    The controlls where always great! :D
    And most of the other bugs got fixed,too!

    I just looked at our 110 page long Beta testing group and noticed that the group had only started on the 26.8.09 (some people wright it 8.26.09.)

    Must have been alot of work fixing all those bugs in 12 days :eek:.

    Enjoy your wait! :D I hope this made it harder for you! [​IMG]

    This truly is a great game. It's got it all polish, depth, and great graphics. The only thing I could say it's lacking is a story mode but with everything else it more than makes up for it.

    Now is the worst part of any game development: waiting for lazy 'ol apple to approve it. I hope some guy has heard of this game already, is freaking hyped about it, and decides to go and jump the queue.

    I am hoping to create a multiplayer Above & Beyond one day, but still in the designing phases.

    Wow, only $2.99? By the amount of content in this game, you're getting ripped off jshmrsn!

    This game SHOULD be $6.99, as it'll last you hours and hours of gameplay, but $2.99?

    E-Gad!

    First iBlast Moki goes at a ridiculously low price, then this? AWESOME!
