8-Bit Fleet - Free universal iOS game.

JRRC

Hey there!

My new Gamesalad game is now on the appstore, and I'd like share it with you guys in a sort of soft launch release. It's a throwback to the good ol' arcade games from the dawn of videogaming.

Gameplay involves shooting asteroids to earn points, having only one minute to do so. I tried the approach of a single gameplay mechanic and having the user play in different ways to complete the game. The goal is to unlock every single ship, 48 as of now but more to come every other month, and each ship has a different color palette with one of four different weapons. Just like my previous app, "Impostors - Smash the aliens", it's a free download, with nonintrusive ads at the top of the screen. Anyways, I'd love to read your feedback!

Cheers!

P.S.: Both "Sunshine" and "Moonlight" ships have unlock issues that have been resolved for the next version, currently waiting for review.

very cool, do you have a video of it in action?

It's very simple, but very well done. I do find it a little tedious to have to tap every time to shoot, since all I'm doing is spamming the bullets with no reason not to. I'm wondering if the different weapons will cause me to treat this differently though, so I'll reserve judgmen

@jonmulcahy Working on it

@Adrenaline Thanks! At first, spamming bullets will help you out unlocking some ships, but then you'll see that some others require scoring X amount of points without missing a single hit, or firing 500 bullets and hitting nothing at all.

Will give it a go
