Read full descriptionHide full description
Did you know that the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1? Asteroid Run gives you the chance to prove you've got what it takes, or at least survive longer than your friends or anybody else by competing in the global high scores! Use your finger to maneuver your ship around an ever increasing asteroid field, dodging or destroying whatever comes at you all the while building your score. If it gets too much look out for the rare "hot rocks" that if destroyed will clear the screen. Your automatic front facing lazer increases in power every 2,500 points and there's an extra life for every 25,000 points that you score.
JetPack Space Arcade
Read full descriptionHide full description
JetPack Space Arcade is an homage to the arcade games of old. Inspired by the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 shoot-em-ups of old, JetPack is a reboot to show what those games could have looked like if iPhones had been around! This is the chance to shoot aliens and not feel guilty about it. Collect 3 ship parts to complete your spaceship, then collect the all important fuel pods. Once you have 4 of them, your ship will start to fire up and then it's time to get in and head to the next alien wave. There are 2 alien waves per spaceship, then it's time build a new ship and discover what is out there trying to make your life difficult. There are 6 different ships to assemble, reflecting current models as well as some historical ones and a veteran Jules Verne ship just because life is fun and 'A Rocket to the Moon' inspired generations of writers and entrepreneurs alike. A quick bit of maths and brain crunching works out that there are a total of 12 alien waves to decimate before it's time to head back to the beginning and start over. It won't be that easy tho' - the aliens increase in number and ferocity as the game progresses. The gauntlet is laid down... what's your high score?
