Part Spider, Part Velociraptor, it's Velocispider!!! Take control of a heavily armed araknasaur in this retro arcade shoot-em-up. Your delicious endangered eggs have attracted the taste buds of the evil CEO of the Robot Seafood Corporation. He will stop at nothing to feast on your eggs, defend them from his relentless army of aquatic robot beasts. IGN: "The best dinosaur spider cyborg game ever created." Touch Arcade: "Velocispider is a ton of fun. The game is gorgeous, in a pixel art and chiptune sort of way. The art is full of character, and that character is super ridiculous. I can't decide if I love the drop sharks (manta rays?) or the bomber whales more." Games Radar: "It's a simple arcade-like shooter, but Velocispider's sharp aesthetics and approachable play mechanics make for a stellar iOS experience that's an easy recommendation on both iPad and iPhone." In your arsenal:- Awesome power ups Game Center leaderboards Sweet pixel art Thumping tunes Smooth tilt controls Game Center achievements Retina & Universal app support

"I've been getting pretty good at Dockit Rocket; it really helped once I figured out my playing style and bought the right rocket for my style.
