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

Flying Vector

Read full description

A vector-drawn world somewhere between an 80s arcade cabinet and a spacey daydream. No engine: just wind, altitude, and speed, traded for one another. Flying stays calm, gliding, almost meditative — but gates matter: they're what keeps the clock alive, and the terrain sharpens as the flight goes on. Pitching down turns altitude into speed; pulling up does the reverse. Fall below stall speed and lift lets go. To climb back up: thermals and ridge lift — the terrain isn't scenery, it's the resource. Stick centered holds your best glide angle — you settle into it and float, without ever stalling. Flying through gates earns points and flight time. Watch out for pylons — hit one and you're gone. Every craft for the session — silhouette, wingspan, handling — is generated at takeoff. Never the same glider twice. CONTROLS: TOUCH, TILT — OR ANOTHER DEVICE AS A REMOTE Touch stick or tilt steering, your choice — a game controller is picked up automatically if you connect one. This iPhone or iPad can also pilot a session running on a Mac, or on another iPad, remotely: the game plays on the big screen, the controls stay in your hand. SEVEN WORLDS, ONE FLIGHT Plain, City, Canyon, Forest, Cave, Space, Combat. Each one keeps the same unhurried, vector-drawn breathing while introducing its own rule: slaloming between towers, ridge-soaring along a cliff face, a canopy ceiling with the first moving threats, gunfire to open a path between floor and ceiling, a weightless world with no up or down. All of them are endless and procedurally generated — including the ones in the pack. Combat isn't for sale. It's earned: six stars, one per world crossed in a single flight, to unlock it. It's the only world that breaks the calm — a duel, you shoot, and you get shot at. THE PLAIN IS FREE, FOREVER The full game — flight, gates, terrain, generated craft — with nothing to unlock. HORIZONS opens the next five worlds (City, Canyon, Forest, Cave, Space) in one purchase. No subscription, no ads, no in-app currency. iOS and macOS, one purchase for both.
