iPad iPhone - Battle Squadron ONE

[Torben Larsen]

Hi Everyone

Here is the youtube showing Battle Squadron ONE on the iPad

http://cope-com.com/2011/01/04/live-...ame-completed/

The game itself of Battle Squadron ONE has now been 100% completed. To celebrate this and the New Year 2011 we have put together a demo of the iPad version.



After much hard work the game itself has been entirely converted and is fully playable from beginning to end with all levels and enemies, incl. the bosses. Now all the remains to be converted are the "in between scenes", menus, intro, and special graphics effects and sounds.

In our opinion the game looks truly great on the large screen of the iPad, so check out the YouTube video and see for yourself ;-)

So watch out for Battle Squadron ONE on iPhone and iPad in App Store... very soon!

Happy New year :-)

Thanx, and you're right.
Although this version for iPhone/iPad/Android is the original and from the more praised Amiga computer, which are by many regarded as much more fun and easier than the converted and tougher Mega Drive version.

Battle Squadron and Hybris were two of my favourite games on the Amiga.

Anyone got this yet? Does it have controls like Cave's iOS titles?

Hi
And yes it does and in a soon to update version 2.0 the touch schemes work even better. Besides fast and slick touch controls the game also feature enhanced tilt controls and virtual joypad optional with fling.

During late spring and early summer the game went through a series of heavy beta-testing with experienced gamers to perfect the controls mechanics for optimal gaming experience.

Which one of you will be adding iCade compatability?

According to Martin Pedersen the coder, iCade support will come around sometime right after update version 2.0, which is just around the corner.

Version 2.0 will feature:
Multiplayer
Enhanced controls
Game Center extentions
pre-game animations
And a cool special feature...

Never played the original but I bought this anyway to support this kind of release. And I have to say it's a really cool game, I love the music especially.

Thanks Sane, that's awesome to hear. I think you will love the coming update version 2.0

Think I might pick this one up. Been quite tempted by the iCade and this might be enough to make me splash out.

If anyone wants an iCade the cheapest is from "Iwantoneofthose". I have been emailed a code for ?8 off a ?40 spend, not sure if it will work once or more but at least one of you will get the discount
