[1]Retro-style game developer GlitchSoft [1], known for titles such as the award-winning Destructopus™ and the classic Bar Star™ is at it again with Star Marine: Infinite Ammo. Designed for the iOS devices, the retro run ‘n’ gunner is currently in the final stages of its development. Official launch details for Star Marine: Infinite Ammo will be announced in early January, but here’s a sneak peak.
[2] Star Marine: Infinite Ammo can be defined as the definitive Run n’ Gun experience. Set in the distant future and in the darkest corner of the universe, a tyrant race captures and oppresses all living creatures within their realm. One-by-one the race acquires control over all – that is, until they cross paths with one man. He goes by the name of Arc, and he is a battle hardened drifter with no set course. Untamable, unforgiving, and unstoppable, he will bring apocalypse to the evil race in a fiery charge rampant with bullets and explosions.
Star Marine: Infinite Ammo is a side-scroller that is inspired by, and features comparable gameplay, to popular titles like Contra, Rapid Reload, and Metal Slug. The game is completely original and designed from the ground [3]up for iOS, and features a familiar dual stick control schematic with a single button to activate Arc’s propulsion pack. The controls are extremely responsive and allow Arc to run, dash, jump, hover, hang, climb, and prone while delivering a continuous rain of bullets upon his enemies!
As a studio, GlitchSoft has always aimed to develop games that push the boundaries of mobile gaming and fill the commonly overlooked micro niches of the App Store. Bar Star™ was the first casual time management game to feature dual protagonists, and a scrolling playable area for more drink serving mayhem. Similarly, Destructopus™ features a screen spanning gigantic monster and allows players to rampage on behalf the planet. In keeping with the studio’s tradition, Star Marine: Infinite Ammo will take iOS gaming to a whole new level.
