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

In the depths of outer space, where giant bugs drift through the cosmos, the greatest space predator is: FROG. Play as a giant space frog who is endlessly hungry. Controlling bizarre gravity powers to draw in its prey, assist the frog in satisfying its hunger in a never-ending struggle for survival. Tilt your device to manipulate gravity and guide space bugs into range, then slurp them up with a very long tongue, all the while making sure to avoid consuming any of the hazardous objects that are also drawn to the frog. ____________________________ FEATURES: -110+ levels of bug-slurping, hazard-dodging action! -Tilt your device to send space objects in any direction you please. The more you tilt, the faster they go! -Move the frog with a single finger. It follows your touch as your finger runs along the screen. -Tap anywhere on the screen to use the frog's long tongue to catch every bug in its path, then slurp them all up! -Avoid colliding with or swallowing any inedible and other seriously harmful objects you find. Hazards abound! -Interact with and avoid a diverse range of objects, with more spectacular threats as you progress through the game. -Think quick, but avoid being rash, else you might end up eating more asteroids than you can chew (and also comets, and satellites, and worse). -Compete with other players to get the highest score on the Game Center Leaderboard! ____________________________ Need support?
