press: Meganoid hardcore retro game now on iPhone

The hit Android game: Meganoid, is now also available on iPhone. Sporting over 70 levels, a large replay-value, and a 90s pixel art retro vibe.
 
June 9, 2011 - PRLog -- The planet is under attack by aliens!!
..who might not be aliens but mutated humans
..who are possibly mutated by real aliens actually from another planet
..most likely hired by a big human corporation
..with very likely some connections with another species controlled by evil aliens from yet another planet…

Anyway! only a hero can save the planet!
..at least that’s what everyone was hoping for
..but since all heroes have now come and gone
..you are the last option!

Go be the last hero!



Meganoid is a HARD retro action game for iOS, need more details?

It comes in full retrocolor, with chiptunetastic music and sound effects.
It has 70 levels in the first release, with at least 30 more coming in various updates
Challenging achievements to unlock using Openfeint
Replay value in the shape of star-awards for finishing a level within the time limit
and a reward-star for collecting all the diamonds... even the hundreds of hidden ones!
Sarge-mode for an even harder experience on every level (unlockable with 2 stars)

And, because we like doing things differently: It is actually, probably, very likely, the first Android-ported-to-iOS game ever? possibly!

Special features include a unique “friend-avatar” feature powered by Openfeint services: Get your friends to play the game and they will start showing up in your game world, giving you story hints and more importantly: diamonds for extra lives, making the game easier as your friends play it.  This feature works cross-platform between iOS and Android, so Steve and Eric can play together again!


With over 230.000 downloads on Android market, see what the press had to say :

“Ultimately, it’s hard to see how a developer could make a better hardcore Android platformer than this”
Bronze award - PocketGamer

“More of this, please! It starts out a bit slow, a bit too easy, but the difficulty ramps up very smoothly... I feel like Meganoid sets an example for other games to follow.”
9/10 Androidrunddown

“Meganoid is one of those games which you start playing and before you know it you are already too late for your next appointment.”
9/10 Droidgaming

“Overall, the game has a very strong retro vibe to it. Everything is done to emulate old school games from the 90s”
4/5 AndroidPIT



If you don’t believe them (it is Android after all), check out the game yourself!
