Our latest title is available on iTunes. It took one week to get it approved, and that included the entire time iTunesConnect was closed down! Anyway, here’s the info on the game:

Story:

The economic recession of 2008 was not the result of Wall Street leverage and the housing bubble. It was in fact a deliberate and highly complex plan conceived by a clandestine organization and carried out thought the fluid channels of greed so pervasive in AmericaĆ­s financial sector.

Through a grass roots investigation led by Nick Hammer and a team of net-hacks, this complicated plot was uncovered. It was determined that Sun Valley Bank, of Bells, Montana, was the nexus of this conspiracy.

Your mission is to attack the headquarters of this insidious plot and destroy the new inhabitants before they escape to waiting pods. This will not be easy, but with my special flying car named “Sally”, unique weapons, full 3D gameplay, and thumbsteering, anything is possible.

Do you have what it takes to restore economic stability as we know it today?

Good luck and God speed!

Features:

  • Completely integrated storyline.
  • Advanced graphics engine designed to take advantage of the power of Apple’s mobile devices.
  • Full 3D assets and effects.
  • Intense and fast-paced gameplay.
  • Multiple weapons
  • In-game instructions.
  • Music and sound effects included.

Get it now on the iTunes App Store!

Fortress Luna today appeared on the App Store “What’s Hot” list, which is pretty exciting stuff for me! While I have worked on other iPhone apps that have done well and appeared in various lists, this is the first “independent” title that has done well enough to earn such a distinction.

The entire Red Sword Studio team, as well as the Primus Team deserve a solid round of Kudos for their efforts on the title. A special Kudo to Omar for doing such a great job on the art!

OK, back to work, which no so coincidently involves updating Fortress Luna :)

PS: be sure to go and check out Fortress Luna on the App Store!

After a slight delay caused by a confusing app store icon, Fortress Luna has been approved and gone live in the iTunes App Store!

Fortress Luna is a simple, yet addicting game that is ideal for casual players. The objective is to protect the earth from incoming asteroids, by firing missiles from the orbiting Moon. It was developed by a group of talented developers I work with, Red Sword Studios.

The gameplay is based on Darrel Dearring’s remix of classic arcade gameplay elements from Missile Command and Asteroids. The games uses true 3D assets coupled with some really nice background art, making it easy on the eyes as you fight to save the earth and all of humanity.
