    Hi All, I've developed an iPad game, it's currently in review, and I hope it will be soon available in the App Store.

    Friends around, and you only have one iPad? No problem, Four allows up to four players to shoot each other on a single iPad!
    Boring commute? No problem, Four has a single player career mode, with 16 unique achievements organized into four increasingly difficult levels!

    Four is not the usual shoot 'em up type game, you can steer your ship anywhere on the battlefield, and shoot at your enemies with bullets or missiles. All that with just two fingers. Complete the single player levels, and you'll be a worthy opponent!

    I've put a lot of love and care into the game design, the stars of the show - the four spaceships - restlessly demo features in the main menu, and they fly from one-menu to the other. Menus are displayed in a circular pattern rotated to each player, and at the end of the match everyone gets his own scoreboard and statistics table. The game features my own rock music compositions. You can get a taste from the YouTube trailer I made:

    (The video quality is poor I know, sorry this is my first try.)

    For more information and screenshots visit (and like if you will) the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/fourthespacefight
    or follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FourSpaceFight


    Best Regards,
    Balázs

    Hi, yes you control your ship with two fingers, with buttons, that are on the sides for single player or 2 player mode, or in the corner for 3 or four player mode. The corners require a little more practice, but if you complete the single player levels, it won't be a problem.

    Thanks for the comment :)

    To tell the truth, we celebrated the day the four player mode started working with friends and a bottle of wine, and yes we laughed the night through :)) but seriously, people like the multi-player mode. It usually makes everybody smile. After a short time each player finds her/his favorite style, which makes the others laugh.

    Hi, thanks, it's going to be in the lowest tier, so $0.99.

    Thanks for the votes in the poll! So you think the game needs more polish, could you please elaborate on that? Graphics, features, or special effects?

    Thanks, for the first release I plan to include the simple pvp multi-player and the the single player career mode, where you can complete 16 achievements organized into 4 four levels. The achievements in the game are more like objectives, that you must complete to advance further. Like the ones in Tiny Wings. From that the first 2 levels take around 1-2 hours, and the remaining 2 may take a couple of days to compete. Your mileage may vary.

    Your idea sounds interesting, in a future update I may include a 2 player vs. 2 AI mode, plus maybe a same achievement and level system, like the one in the single player mode. I don't really see any sense in 3 players vs. 1 AI cooperative mode.

    Teams. Hm, I have a couple of ideas, again for a future update, that I don't want to spoil right now. I haven't thought of teams yet, but that would make my ideas even better, thanks.
