You've always dreamed of shouting "Fire the torpedos! More power to the shields!" I have too, and this is why I built Quintet. Quintet is a multiplayer space game where players work harmoniously to control the same ship. There are 5 roles: Captain, Helm, Tactical, Engineering and Science. How successful you are will depend on how well you all work together. Quintet is especially fun to play in the same room with friends. Don't be shy about playing out your roles in person and using strange accents. There are also one, two, three and four player ships available. Other Great Features: * Desktops, Laptops, and iPads can all play together on the same ship. * Players ships can play with or against other player ships. Note: * Gameplay requires an Internet connection. * Quintet is graphics intense! Runs best on iPhone5 or iPad 2 and up!
