Defend! world defense title arrives for iPhone
Yesterday saw the release of Defend! (App Store, $0.99) by John Kooistra, a game which supposedly "puts you in charge of protecting your world from an invasion force that wants nothing more than your utter destruction". Harsh.
Defend opts for old-school arcade simplicity, with the game itself consisting of shooting red circles coming towards your blue circle. With multiple levels there are also multiple kinds of enemies, requiring you to adjust your tilting strategy as time goes on.
The control scheme uses the accelerometer instead of the touch screen, meaning you have to tilt the iPhone to control the stream of bullets, rather than thumbing about the screen. Naturally the game has a high score board, which for now is local scores only.
