I can't remember the name of this app or find it for the life of me! I remember playing it back in high school on my OG iPod Touch and it was definitely released sometime between June '09-'10. It was a dual-stick shooter where the player was in a dune-buggy that shot green acid set in some post-apocalyptic world, and you played top-down in survival mode until the player died. There was a zone where you could pick up a power up, and the enemies were some kind of alien crab looking things and there was only one map that was pretty small. The icon was brown I believe with a green skull in the center. They advertised it as a preview game (kind of like an "Episode 1") for a larger upcoming release that I assume never happened. There was also some controversy because the app crashed a lot or something so it might've been pulled from iTunes since then? Thanks for helping a fellow iOS gamer out, cheers!
go on your itouch and hit purchased(in update), you can see and redownload every single app you ever had.
Unless it's been removed from the AppStore completely, which seems like a good possibility for a buggy "preview" game from 2009.
