iPhone retro arcade title "UDF:
Spitfire" is available now!
Auckland-based SquidJuice Games,
the developer of "UDF: 3D Tactics", has released
the first in a new line of arcade style iPhone
games, "UDF: Spitfire". The new line will
continue the "United Defense Force" (UDF) series
of titles, and will be collectively called "UDF:
Arcade".
"UDF: Spitfire" brings back retro arcade action
in a futuristic setting. Players fly a
futuristic re-imagining of the Spitfire aircraft
through a range of different regions, fighting
off the enemy invaders. Tilting the iPhone
controls the pitch of the aircraft, and tapping
on the screen fires the weapons. The player will
face off against different enemies with unique
strategies, as well as huge bosses that the
player must find a way to defeat.
"UDF: Spitfire" has numerous innovations,
including the ability of the player's aircraft
to become infected with various viruses,
bringing new powers. Once the aircraft is
infected, the player may draw certain gestures
on the screen to cause special effects such as
freezing time or destroying all enemies. Viruses
also bring new weaponry and armour. Also, the
game has a unique "Boost Meter", which gives the
player bonuses for accurate shots by depleting
when the player fires the weapon, and filling
when an enemy is hit. The "Boost Meter" allows
the player to access additional weaponry, such
as rockets.
