Read full description

Asteroid Glider is a retro space shooter. You play as a glider trying to avoid the astroids shot at you. The goal is to survive as long as possible while gliding around the asteroid or just destroying them using your blaster! Try to avoid the rocks, because you'll take damage when they hit you. Yellow rocks are filled with coins and coins mean more points! Try to get health pickups too when you lost too much health. Asteroid Glider is fully made of pixel art and 8-bit sound. It also uses the Taptic Engine to make the game feel like a classic arcade game! Particles are used to enhance the retro vibe and shading of the top and bottom area is used to make it look like you are playing on your favourite plastic handheld!

About

Wirebreak

Read full description

WIREBREAK is a fast neon run-and-gun drawn entirely in glowing lines. Sprint across a living wireframe world, blast rocks into craters, duck under enemy fire and carve your way to the safe house at the end of every level. FEATURES • Truly destructible terrain - every shot carves a real crater; unsupported chunks break off and crash down • Twin-stick touch controls built for the phone: run, jump and crouch with one thumb, aim 360° and fire with the other • Two enemy machines - hovering drones and tripod emplacements - with higher-level variants the deeper you go • Finite, replayable levels with a rising difficulty ladder • An arsenal from a humble pistol to dual pistols, rifles and machine guns • Consumable armor tiers - buy, wear, lose, re-buy • Risk-and-reward economy: coins you loot are yours only if you reach the finish house alive • Game Center leaderboard - post your best run • Every sound synthesized in code: crunchy gunfire, deep detonations and a calm-to-combat adaptive soundtrack • Localized in English, German, French, Spanish and Ukrainian One more run. The wire is waiting.
