Soul Grinder. An iOS shmup I'm working on

[Grindie]

Hey, chaps. I've been working on an iOS shmup with a chum of mine (I doodle the pics, he presses the ones n' zeroes) for over a year now. I really wanna show it off to someone, n' who better than a bunch of shmup enthusiasts?

We're staying the hell away from virtual dpads n' buttons 'cause they make Baby Jesus cry. We think we've nailed the most perfectest, easy to pick up n' play, controls. Each level'll be a quick 30 second burst to encourage replayability and to prevent people going mental when they've been thrown back to the start after dying for the 40th time!







I've got a YouTube video of one of the levels too. This is from an outdated build running on my PC though, so some stuff's been changed since then.

that looks pretty good. love the art style. shame I won't get to play it because I don't have an iPhone or an iPad

Thanks a lot, chaps. We've been demoing it at a few local events here in Ireland n' it's gone done really well. I'd love to get a playable demo or something out there, but we're working on iOS n' I don't think things are that easy with Apple.

Graveyards and zombies to factories and robots! Awesome diversity What other environments have you guys been working on? Do you hope to get it up and running in the AppStore this year? Best of luck to you both.

Thanks much, Samuel.
We've got an urban city level with solders n' punks (Streets of Rage style) and a nightmare world with loads of evil beastie things. Yup, we're hoping to get it ready before Christmas. We've got it running on our iDevices now, but it's a bit of a headache getting it running perfectly on older iTouches n' iPhones.

"Soul Grinder" eh? That's the name of the main mode in my own game Hyperspace Invaders.
Seeing that I posted about it on here before I can't imagine that you happened to come up with the exact same title.
Ah well, I guess I should feel flattered
