Default [APP] Meteor Mania - Updated 28/12/2010

Name: Meteor Mania



Defend your city against a meteor shower in this slick game which seemlessly blends classic arcade games of old with a modern art and sound direction. Utilize four different types of power ups including a forcefield and scatter rockets to rack up a high score.

Destroy multiple meteors with a single missile to get even more points. With a smooth difficulty curve and a newgame+ system this game is high on replay value and low on downtime many arcade games suffer from as players excel at them.

There's never a dull moment in Meteor Mania!

Changelog:

28/12/2010:

Trial gameplay time has been increased from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Reticule becomes redder as health depletes.

Update coming next week which increases trial gameplay time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Let me know what you think of the game!

My thumbs need a break!!! This game is a lot of fun! Some ideas:
  • I think having levels/waves that will break the pace a bit would be nice.
  • Also, maybe a change in the background like perhaps shifting from dusk to dawn to day, etc. would be nice.
  • Perhaps add some meteor variations like "Asteroids" type meteors that break into smaller ones you need to blow up again
  • Basically, try add elements that will make the gameplay a bit more varied
I love the attention to detail - the graphics are fantastic. Too often games have super gameplay and crap graphics - your game is great on all counts!

Those aren't actually bad ideas, pity my hands are tied until Microsoft approves the current (minor) update I'm trying to push forward :-\ Been there for quite a while now, I think it's because of the Christmas break they're taking so long with app approvals.

a new patch has been released which ups the trial demo time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes and adds a new feature where as your cities health is going down the reticules get redder so you don't have to look at the top left of the screen to see your cities health.
