What is Nemesis? Nemesis is a theoretical brown dwarf star in orbit around our own sun, which may even have its own planetary system. Nemesis is also a 3D space shooter for the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. (Want to try before you buy? Check out Nemesis Lite, also available in the app store.) The year is 3000... humanity has extended it's domain to the farthest reaches of the solar system. The new frontier is Nemesis, a star system rich with resources. Unfortunately, no one seems to agree on who owns this new frontier. Fight for your claim in this brave new world against ruthless enemies! Gameplay modes now include a campaign mode which can be played single-player or with a friend over wifi; and a death-match mode which can be played single-player or with up to 3 friends over wifi. VR headsets are now supported. While in VR mode, you can adjust: the screen size; vertical and horizontal position; the amount of parallax (that is, the space between your two virtual eyes); and whether or not your head movements are tracked. A VR headset and an external controller such as an extended gamepad are required. External controllers are also supported - both the standard profile (the one without thumbsticks) and the extended profile (the one with thumbsticks.) Our future is in your hands! Features: * Includes both a campaign mode and death-match mode, both of which can be played in single-player or multiplayer over wifi. * VR headset support. * Gamepad support (both the standard and extended profiles.) * Remote Control - control Nemesis 1.9 on tvOS or iOS via Nemesis 1.9 running on an iOS device. (Requires wifi.) * Beautiful graphics! * Intricately rendered explosion and smoke effects. * Nine unlockable ships and 10 unlockable environments. * Realistic physics. * Brutal AI. * 25 different power-ups, for all kinds of ways to smite your foes. * Listen to your own music while saving humanity. * Play in first person or third person modes. * Six different skill settings, from "practice" to "ace" in death-match; 5 skill settings in campaign. * User settable kill-limit in death-match mode. * Multi-player over wifi.

About

Kyiv PPO

Features
Read full description

A night sky over Kyiv. Below it, a hand-drawn skyline: a bell tower crowned with a golden dome, a television mast, a monument above the river, the warm windows of apartment blocks. Then the sky starts filling up. You run the air defense. Two batteries track your crosshair. One tap sends an interceptor to that point, where it detonates and clears anything caught in the blast. HOW IT PLAYS Drones drift in from the flanks, humming and weaving, then nose over into a dive at a specific building. Cruise missiles come in fast and low. Ballistic targets fall almost vertically and give you seconds. Your magazine is small and reloads slowly. So the real decision is never "where do I shoot" — it's "which one can I afford to miss." FEATURES - A recognizable night-time Kyiv, drawn by hand - Three target types, each with its own behavior, speed and flight path - Cursor-tracking batteries with trajectory line and blast radius preview - Combo multipliers up to 5x for fast consecutive intercepts - Escalating waves for as long as the city holds - A leaderboard of your ten best sorties: score, wave, intercepts, date - Ukrainian and English, switchable right from the menu - Fully offline: no ads, no purchases, no account, no data collection The game is purely defensive. You never attack anything — you only bring down what is already inbound.
