Pebble Command is a deeply addictive game of real-time tactics. • Extremely Addictive, you have been warned. • 12 progressively harder stages to get through, playable over 3 difficulty levels: Each stage requires unique tactics to be beaten. • Original & Intuitive Control: Pebble Command is designed for the iOS touch screen. • Multiplayer: Play the entire game solo or co-op with a friend over local Wi-Fi. Compare scores and challenge friends on Game Center. • Each stage features a unique musical score designed to aid your focus, so headphones are recommended. • It's free as in ACTUALLY free - no ads / in-app purchase / "other great games" / etc, I work on Pebble Command because I like to play it.
