Do you even tilt? Axel Arcade is THE game that puts your tilting skills to the test! Control your avatar as waves of hollow enemies are sent to eliminate your spherical force.

Flee from the Red Exploder and the enemies that will be blasted in your direction, beware of the devastatingly quick Indigo Shaker that will pounce when you least expect it and watch out for the Super Giant that destroys everything in its path! FEATURES: * Revolutionary tilt controls - play from any position, whether lying in bed or standing in a moving train! * Collect and upgrade powerups to help you survive and destroy your enemies! * Choose from over 30 different Skins to play with! * Complete Daily Missions and Bonus Missions and cash in on big rewards. * Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements to compete with your friends. * Beautiful retro-style/Deus-Ex inspired graphics and swipeable menus. * Incredibly fun, fast and frantic action, endless game play!
