Yep, seems Circuit Defenders iPhone is getting lots of press at the moment.

Here is another review on the new
iphonetech78 blog of CDi v1.1.2.

TouchMyApps.com has done a great and fair review of Circuit Defenders iPhone on their blog and what’s great about the review is the author clearly took the time to play it and experience CD rather than just comment on existing screen shots.

There are some valid points re game visuals that are already being addressed in v1.2 as well as the comment that there is no real sense of achievement, which I guess is a personal things as some love the endless game style and some don’t. Thats one of the reasons I added challenge games into v1.1 and will continue to expand on them in future versions.

Here is a sneak peak at one of the new iPhone games I am working on. I am not releasing the name of the game yet, but as you can see it is a Tank game, well a Hover Tank fight game to be specific.

You get to choose from 3 tanks (middle three pictured) Striker, Leopard and X10, and your aim if to collect all of the flags in each level as quickly as you can without losing all of your lives.

You face enemy towers that shoot projectile shards at you, as well as enemy tanks that patrol the areas and will chase after you, shooting you with large projectile frags.

Bullets and rockets can be replenished via in game pickups, and health can be restored via hovering over any of the spawn locations within each level.

Production is going really well and the game should be released very soon. I will make more info available shortly.

Thats right, I am happy to announce that I have released StuntMANIA 3.1 for bot Mac and PC.
