Gameplay Video of Upcoming iPhone Shooter 'StarSmasher'

posted July 27th, 2008 1:02 PM EST by Blake Patterson in Featured, News

Late last week we covered EspressoSoft's rather promising looking upcoming iPhone shooter, StarSmasher.

We're pleased to report that the author, John Bowers, has posted a sample gamplay video which, although just a short glimpse, shows the game to be everything we'd hoped for.

Strong work, John. We can't wait for the App Store release.

StarSmasher is expected to debut in the iTunes App Store in the next few weeks and will be a $2.99 download.

    Reminds me of a game-version of the intro to the late '80s Amiga classic Blood Money.

    I hope LucasArts makes a Star Wars game like this for the iPhone.

    OmniGeno: I was thinking more along the lines of X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter.

    Finally!!

    I was wondering why no one was taking Apple's "Touch Fighter" lead, and making a game like this. Looks WAY cool, and at only $3, I'm all over this!! :-D

    I'd rather pay $10, and have a "Freelancer" kind of experience tied to the pretty shooting. Trading, job boards, an open star-map, etc. That game looks nice, but where's the beef?

    Um, I hope their is an "auto-fire" option. Constantly tapping on the screen like that looks annoying. Either a toggle in the settings or keeping your finger held down on the fire button. ( Just my two cents as I have no information on the game mechanics aside from what I see in the youtube video)

    Probably will still get it if it stays cheap.

    The 1.0.1 version (which is the one in the video) has auto-fire and is currently out to Apple for review. The initial release will be the 1.0 version because it has already been approved and is in the App store machinery.
