Hej alle og god påske :)

Her er så det legendariske Amiga skydespil nu ude til Android på Google Play: :geek:

PRESS: http://cope-com.com/2012/04/09/worlds-b ... r-android/



Cope-Com is proud to announce that our world renowned shooter of the Amiga era, Battle Squadron, receiving an amazing 109% rating, is now available for Android - on Google Play

After releasing the iOS version to retro fans all over the world (92%, including new players, rated it 5 stars !!) we now have the Android version ready. We have conserved the highly praised gameplay exactly like on the Amiga, while at the same time adapting it to surperb play on mobile devices. New online enhancements include online Leaderboards and Achievements.

What the press said about the iOS version:
4.5/5 @ http://www.toucharcade.com - "Battle Squadron ONE is excellent gaming, folks. Do not miss it"
5/5 @ http://www.iphonefreak.com - "A fantastic shooter which beats the vast majority of its modern day equivalents hands down!"
5/5 @ iphonegameruk.co.uk - "Those that love retro shooters will also enjoy this game incredibly"

And the original Amiga version:
109% @ Amiga Computing (2:10) - "Now Battle Squadron is the best"
90% @ Info (31) - "It's expert execution and addictive playability"
90% @ The One Amiga (56) - "Battle Squadron is so addictive that you just can't stop playing"

Battle Squadron ONE plays on Android 2.2 and above and includes:
- 2-player split-screen on tablets (world's first !!)
- 4 fantastically detailed levels to fight your way through
- 4 highly diverse "bosses" to defeat... and scores of different enemies
- 24 different weapons (4 types of 6 grades each) + Nova Missile
- Several control options, including "2x direct touch"
- 4 difficulties ("Squadron Leader" is exactly like on Amiga)
- Über-difficulty mode: "Air Commodore"... with surprise ending

So engage and destroy... and to those of you who remember: "Welcome to Battle Squadron !!"

Der har så indsneget sig en mindre beklagelig bug der crasher spillet, i videosekvens-håndteringen på nogle Android OS4.x, som er ved at blive rettet og dertil efterfølgende opdatering snarest :idea:

Spændende!

Hvis du har lyst til/mulighed for at opdatere med en %-vis distribution på fortjeneste (ikke downloads) mellem iOS og Android efter f.eks. 3 måneder tror jeg vi er mange der vil lytte rigtigt godt efter :)... Det kunne også være rigtigt nice at få indsatsen i form af både udvikling og support vægtet (personligt udvikler jeg lidt hurtigere på Android, men tilgengæld æder den efterfølgende support hele fordelen, and then some).

Mine egne erfaringer har jeg allerede luftet, men de er ikke en rigtig god måling fordi det drejer som om helt forskellige apps - Battle Squadron er vel så tæt på en 1:1 sammenligning man kan komme :).

Har i det også ude til Kindle?

Anyways, held og lykke med det.

Så er der kommet en opdatering der understøtter Android OS 4.x m.m. Og dertil også svar omkring, at det er i pipeline ved Amazon Appstore :)

UPDATE NEWSFLASH: Version 1.1 just out on Google Play and also Amazon Appstore!! Now functional on Android 4.x (we sincerely apologize for the wait). Also includes Xperia Play control and minor bug fixes.
