Space Invaders Infinity Gene (iPhone)

Pew pew! Pew pew!

Had some slowdown today for the first time, but it’s understandable given that the level in question looked like this:

Actually, wait, no it’s not. Still, I can’t say it harmed the experience in any way. If anything, it all adds to old school shooter feel, so no matter.

I know why I’m not playing this as much as I feel I should be. It’s because it’s a much better game with the sound on and I mostly play my iPhone games with the sound either off or on the lowest volume setting. I love the main levels, but my favourite part of the game is generating levels from songs and trying to get through them.

I think that’s Dead Ringer For Love by Meat Loaf, but I’m not sure.

Confession time. I’ve never got through an entire song when I’ve been playing this game. Not one. I think I probably need to choose shorter songs… or get better at the game, I suppose.

I forgot to take a screen shot of this game last night, but I have been playing it.

I don’t have much to add to what I said earlier. It’s great and you should buy it. That’s about it.

Oh, and Gunpowder & Lead by Miranda Lambert generated a very interesting stage, which includes features I’ve not seen in the main game yet. (I’m trying not to plow through the main levels quickly.)

Utterly brilliant new Space Invaders game. You start off in the old style, only able to move left and right, but the game soon introduces power ups, free movement, evolved backgrounds… just loads of stuff. It rapidly moves from being just Space Invaders again to being a full-blown, modern, fast-paced shooter with lovely, familiar retro graphic stylings. Based on my first impressions, I like it more than Space Invaders Extreme on the PSP and DS.

And it’s got one more trick up its sleeve, too. As well as the preset levels, you can generate new ones from songs you’ve got on your iPhone.

That’s me playing Achy Breaky Heart. It killed me pretty quickly.

It’s £2.99. It’s a bargain. Go and buy it right now.

I forced myself to stop playing this because I fear for my PSP’s X button. Also: my thumb. But mainly the X button.

You know what Pac-Man CE did for Pac-Man?

This does the same for Space Invaders.
