Battle Blasters updated with Bluetooth multiplayer
Two’s company
Keen followers of Pocket Gamer will know that we reviewed the excellent Battle Blasters not so long ago and found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable action title.
The one major criticism we had was the multiplayer portion of the title, which could only be played using one device. Each player had to grip one end of the iPhone in order to participate – a similar technique was employed by Atari’s ill-fated Lynx console many moons ago, with equally awkward results.
Thankfully, developer Little Guy Games has now confirmed that an updated version is available which allows you to use your phone’s Bluetooth connection to wirelessly link up and avoid the embarrassing prospect of accidental physical contact during heated gaming sessions.

Damien's mum hoped he would grow out of playing silly video games and gain respectable employment. Perhaps become a teacher or a scientist, that kind of thing. Needless to say she now weeps openly whenever anyone asks how her son's getting on these days.
