    Sky Combat will be published by Chillingo in the second week of February 2011.

    Sky Combat is a beautifully crafted vertical shooter with stunning visuals including superb water and explosion effects. Fight your way through the game, facing over 30 different enemies and eight challenging bosses using three different craft: an AH-64 Apache helicopter, a speedy combat boat and an M1 Abrams Tank. Upgrade your missiles and bombs and use special power-ups – the result is frenetic, action packed gameplay!

    Features:

    Play, and then Play Again: The stages in Sky Combat are huge and there are eight challenging and powerful bosses to destroy. The addition of three difficulty levels makes for great replay value as you try to defeat the game on the hardest settings.

    Unbelievable Graphics: Incredible particle effects and super detailed graphics ensure that this is one of the most impressive looking games in the App Store. Water effects that have never been seen in a 2D shooter before and explosions that will blow you away!

    Strafe and Shoot: Use the intuitive and innovative control scheme to dodge incoming fire and lay some ordinance down on your enemies. Use Touch, Relative Touch, Tilt and Virtual joystick to maneuver around the screen in the vehicle of your choice.

    Bombs Away! Fire a hail of bullets, homing missiles or drop devastating bombs on your enemies. Upgrade your weapons to cause maximum damage to your enemies, and collect special power-ups to devastate the enemy.

    Energetic Soundtrack: The heavy score is fitting for Sky Combat and you’ll find yourself nodding along as you destroy countless tanks, helicopters and boats.

    Crystal Leaderboards and Achievements: Players can earn achievements and compare scores with online leaderboards through Crystal!

    Endless Mode: Check how long can you survive fighting waves of enemies in unlockable non-stop action Endless Mode.

    Hey crex, I had the same issue, but I'm up and running now; just reply to your e-mail from Alien Worm and ask them to re-send you the provisioning file. Once you have it, delete both the .app and the provisioning file from iTunes, then install the .app file and the new provisioning file and everything should sync correctly to your device.

    If you need any pointers on exactly how to do all that, just post back here or PM me.

    I know that we are not supposed to discuss the game while beta testing, but this is turning out to be one of the BEST shmups in Appstore. And I have them all.

    Yes!

    Finally got it on my iTouch!!! And let me tell you right now, it is AWESOME! VERY AWESOME!!!!! Feels like iBomber mixed with WAVE. Add the fact that its published by Chillingo and you've definitely got a HIT GAME. Can't compliment it enough. This will be without a doubt one of Chillingo's next BIG games. PHENOMENAL job Alien Worm!!!!!! Also, any details about price and release date?:) Also, DON'T CHANGE THE ICON. It is PERFECT!

    I played the last build. If you like these games, you are in for a treat ..... I played all in one session (the first time). Not because it is easy or short, but because I could not put it down and my hand was really in pain afterwards.

    The fact you have three different units with very different control feel makes it really something special. But this is no bullet hell, it something slightly different :D

    I leave the dev to clarify this if he wants to :D
