Okay, not really. I've got a bit of text here to go with that picture. My iOS game is nearing something releasable. What have I got left to do on it? Well, superweapons, implementing some new enemies, bosses, and level design.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I started working on this project again? I could swear I did somewhere…

I've implemented a bunch of new things that weren't in the Android version (RIP). One of the best is a different level file system and structure. Its cool because levels come in little campaign packs and automatically proceed until the end, making it really easy to do something like multiple level sets. I decided to make all of the level files with XML, and its turned out really well because I can give any movement and weapon type to any enemy, or spawn enemies according to simple patterns. Also, movement modifiers, such as horizontal waving, or circling clockwise and stuff really adds to the game. It gives finer control over the level design and is way better than having each enemy have only one given movement pattern or patterns based on starting position. Now I can easily have enemies come up from the bottom, or in from the sides.

Not sure when it's going to be finished, but until then, enjoy!

A screencapture video I took a few days ago of the game (via simulator and accelerometer hack), before I added in all of the nice HUD elements, movement patterns, and movement modifiers. You can see me blowing up a bunch of enemies, grabbing a powerup, using missiles, and at the very end testing the 'flinching' that occurs when you get hit.

Skip to 0:30 if you just want to get to the gameplay. No audio because that got screwed up.
