A cartoony space combat sim in the tradition of X-Wing/Wing Commander, featuring cat-augmentation, space-faring dinosaurs and a heartfelt appreciation for 80s sci-fi cartoons.
Ace Ferrara is a military academy hotshot and blabbermouth, who has just landed the most prestigious internship in the Galaxy: among the Proton Riders, an elite group of oddball pilots who are mankind's foremost defense in its war against the dinosaurs. However, between telex duty and escorting coffee freighters, Ace soon finds out that working with his heroes isn't what he thought it would be.
"Ace Ferrara And The Dino Menace" has been designed to be touchscreen-friendly. Steering is reduced to 2D, but there's plenty of barrel rolling to make up for the missing degrees of freedom.
My publisher and I have recently ended our publishing deal. They tried to transfer the app to me, but Apple doesn't let developers transfer apps that use iCloud, so we had to delete Ace Ferrara and I needed to create a new app with the same name.
Unfortunately this means that existing players will have to repurchase the game to receive further updates. To address this problem, I'm setting the game free for the next few days (until January 2nd), so you can grab it without paying again.
In the meantime, I've updated the game with some new content, which is already in the iOS version that went live today! The big new items are:
The new App Store link is Itunes.apple.com
The iOS version of Ace Ferrara And The Dino Menace launched today! Android will come in October, and PC/Mac are planned around the end of the year!
The iOS release of my cartoony space combat sim is drawing close. Here's the game's intro dialogue, featuring two very nefarious dinosaurs!
With 90% of my space combat sim now complete, I filmed a mission being played on an iPad, showing how the controls work on touchscreen devices.
