Sky Invaders turns 4

Sky Invaders 4th anniversary

It’s hard to believe that my first mobile game was released four years ago this week. What simply started out as a short term goal to learn to code and release a game for my iPhone certainly didn’t stop there.

In the past four years over 30,000 people have downloaded, played and hopefully enjoyed Sky Invaders which is now available for Android and Windows Phone as well as the iPad and iPhone.

Now while this week marks the 4th anniversary of Sky Invaders it also marks the release of my 5th mobile game called Batty TAP which I hope will also be enjoyed by many.

So a big thank you for all who downloaded, played and given feedback.

Batty TAP new release

Batty TAPBatty Game

We’ve released another game for Android phones and tablets based on Flappy Bird but of course way better, well we think so.

Batty TAP simply works the same way as Flappy but this time you’re deep inside a cave system and Batty has to make his way under stalactites and over stalagmites without hitting any in order to score points.

It’s free and available from the Google Play Store today if you want to download and have some fun.

Batty TAP will also be available for Amazon Fire tablets and Windows Phones later this week and the iOS versions should be out next month or at the latest by Christmas.

If you enjoy it please give us a rating and leave a review, we would really appreciate them.

Download today from the Google Play Store

The long awaited sequel to our most popular mobile game Sky Invaders has been released for Windows Phone. After almost four years we have taken all the feedback from our many players on how to make the player controls better, including adding additional game levels and various new aliens and put it all together in Mega Invaders.

We plan to release Mega Invaders for Android, Amazon Fire and iOS devices over the coming months so keep watching for updates.

Progress report Mega Invaders

MegaInvaders

Over the past few nights I’ve made some great progress on Mega Invaders (Windows Phone version) having managed to fully debugged the levels 1 – 3 and shorted out the online High Score posting.

I’ve improved game play by making some minor tweaks on the level 3 alien movement and I also died an annoying bug in level 4 end of level bonus score routine which means it will be ready for release soon.
