If you're old enough to remember Star Raiders, then you understand that it changed computer gaming forever, and essentially invented the strategic first-person space shooter. Zylon Defenders aims to duplicate the feel of that early masterpiece using the latest tools iOS has to offer - and letting you play from the Zylons’ perspective. NOW IN BETA! Ping me to be added.
Virtual stick is at top left! Took me a while to see it there. Great to see such a classic rendered in high resolution. Will be interesting to follow development.
New version is up! Includes following features/fixes: Basic level implementation - try playing at "Zylon Lord" level - more ships, more damage, faster energy drain from all functions Ship energy drain! Time to start managing ships systems if you want to get a good score (don't worry, scoring not yet implemented). Ship explodes when energy hits zero Galactic map can now be pinched, rotated and zoomed to make navigation easier Fixed bugs, mainly with tactical display Starbase repairs your ship. It's starting to feel like an actual game now Starbase animates in when you arrive in its sector. Need to do the same for Humon ships.
Build 38 is live as of this morning. Better Galactic map navigation with 2D/3D option, improved scanner functionality, better bug tracking, general bug fixes.
