Space Falcon Commander For iTouch

Space Falcon Commander, by Rapid Turtle Games, is a vertical scrolling shooter game that features 3D rendered graphics, a wide range of explosions, great music and sound effects and a handful of bonuses and upgrades. Swith between any weapons you have available for added firepower or use up any of your special weapons on certain situations. This game is just like any other shooter games. Just move your ships to either avoid or hit enemy targets. Progress to each level defeating grunts, mini boss and motherships. It is as simple as that. As you delve deeper into succeeding levels though, the enemies can become quite hard to destroy. One challenging feature for Space Falcon Commander is its Hall of Fame section where you can compete against other players from around the world based on your score.

The game graphics and music as I mentioned awhile ago are good. The controls … well that is a different story. You use your fingers on the directional buttons found in the screen for your Space Falcon ship’s movement. There were quite a number of times that when I tapped left, it moved to the right. I do not know if this was just me … and I did not get to enjoy this game after I tried this first time. I am not sure if I will try and give it another go. The controls did not appeal to me. As I said, it may just be me. You can try it out if you want.

Heavy Mach For iTouch

This new game from Indiean is a tank shooter with a movement similar to that of Metal Slug. When I saw this game, I was impressed with its graphics in the site so I thought of trying it out. Another game to keep me interested. This game is an arcade type shoot ‘em game where you guide your tank by tilting your iphone left and right to move forward and backward. Tapping it makes your tank shoot weapons. On its default weapon, you can just lay your finger on the iTouch screen and it will keep on firing automatically.

At first, I was frustrated while playing this game because I could not find a way how to make my tank evade the enemy’s fire. I tried to double tap it to see if the tank would jump or something. Turned out, a level on the lower left of the iTouch screen is the tool to make your tank jump. You can have it double jump too, similar to how Metal Slug’s tank jumps hahaha (that brings back memories). Each mission is divided into 5 levels. As you play each level and mission, sooner or later you will gain experience and you will choose which upgrade for your tank you wish to add. Either movement, defense or attack (see photo below). Movement will make your tank move faster. Defense will add armor to your tank and attack will increase the firing times of your weapon. Along the way, when you destroy enemy tanks and helicopters, you can also add more ammo and life to your tank.

The game is very enjoyable. My only complaint with this is that it is pretty hard to switch to between weapons while in battle especially with an enemy boss. Sometimes, instead of jumping, I accidentally get to tap the weapons selection (since they are located side by side). Still, for a pretty cheap price, this is an awesome game. This is one of my favorites!
