Description: "...Lunar Lander on steroids..." - TouchArcade.com "...brings an almost unsatisfiable addiction which can only be satiated with more game play." - CasualGamerChick.com RETRO is a glorious homage and throwback to latter-day game design and gameplay, utilizing the iPhone and iPod Touch's accelerometer and touchscreen in this Lunar Lander style adventure through rocky maze-like landscapes. Gameplay is simple: Guide your landing craft through 23 challenging levels, solving puzzles, avoiding hazards and saving all the little people as you go. Game Features: - Beautifully rendered artwork and animation. - Superb mood-setting soundtrack from Space Maneouvres - Simultaeneous Music + Sound Effects options. - Fluid physics - Intuitive gameplay - Carefully tweaked accelerometer controls - Gradual difficulty curve, tested by monkeys* Instructions: Dead simple... - Tilt iPhone/iPod Touch gently to navigate - Tap the screen to accelerate (thrust) - Refuel at vertical Fuel Pods (see the screenshot) - Save all the little guys! --------------------------------------------- REVIEWS: "Retro is the best cave-flyer available in the App Store at present. It’s accelerometer-controlled Lunar Lander on steroids. Also a polished good time." - TouchArcade.com "Overall, this game has all the qualities of a great cave-flyer style game. It brings a new polish to the graphics while staying true to many qualities of the classic games of our past. The balance of fuel, shields and time make it a challenge to complete but feasible with practice as with any great game. For the price tag of .99 cents this is a hard bargain to pass up if you like this style game." - CasualGamerChick.com RETRO can be played in bed, hanging from the ceiling and in many other real-life situations that most other accelerometer games fail to support. Only the hardened player should attempt to play while water-skiing. ==================================== VERSION HISTORY: Version 1.1 - Timers have been extended in NORMAL mode - Shields reduced in HARD mode - Lasers do more damage in HARD mode Version 1.2 New / Improvements: + Added "EASY" Mode (for laid back funsters!) + Timers no longer kill, only add bonus score + New responsive controls/physics mode added (heavy/fast) (in options) + Collision "Deflection" (bounce) reduced + Landing now requires Landing Gear to be extended + "Safe" angles for landing adjusted according to difficulty + Fuel Burn Rate reduced slightly Bug Fixes: + Sadistic Teleporter in Mission 22 removed + You can no longer thrust into deep space. ==================================== SUPPORT: If you have any problems or difficulties with the game, or feedback at all (especially ideas for improvement, praise, or peanuts), then please contact us at the support address: support@bigheadgames.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------- Good Luck Pilot! *We may have lied about the monkeys. ** Check out our other iPhone/Touch title, International Snooker, using the Other Applications iTunes link below. keywords: retro, classic, gaming, lunar, lander, thrust, rescue, scientists, moon, gravity, physics, puzzle, action, arcade, fun, crazy, insane, peace
