Hey guys,

My new game Thruster is now out on the iPhone app store...

Gameplay video:



iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/thruster/id446759175?mt=8

Description: a retro styled space ship game inspired by the rock hard games on the spectrum and c64.

see how long you can survive as the enemies stack up and you try to improve your highscore!

Cost: only 59p/99c < help support me in funding further releases + updates!

Unfortunately it has no game center support, but it is something I'd like to add in the future (when I can afford to go pro!)

Cheers

Matty

    Deliciously retro.

    I saw this on the app store last night. Didn't realise it was a GS game.

    Thanks, no-one would know if I could rid it of the splash screen ;)

    I assume you were randomly browsing on there, because it seemed to get buried instantly buy a ton of other new apps!

    cheers guys, it's surprising how good positive comments can make you feel!

    @quantumsheep - a hint for you, the key to getting decent scores is good use of the air-brakes. they both have to be pressed together and they'll stop you dead and rotate the ship back around to pointing upwards... this also means you're in prime position for some bombing!!

    just a quick heads up,

    there is now a LITE version of Thruster available for FREE on the app store here > http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/thruster-lite/id449143044?mt=8

    if you could leave reviews I'd be very appreciative!

    In the Lite version you get 2.5 minutes to try and rack up your score, by collecting as many of the x packages as possible.

    As an easy benchmark I got a score of 140, can you beat it?!

    post up your scores with a screen grab (press Home+Lock together), and I will reward outstanding scorers with promo codes for the standard untimed version of Thruster!
