Screenshots, info and video for iPhone’s Galaxy on Fire

Galaxy on Fire is one of our favourite mobile games of all time, with its expansive storyline and massive universe of adventures crammed inside the diminutive gaming platform.

So we were chimmin’ to hear from Fishlabs about its intentions to bring the adventures of Captain Keith T. Maxwell to the iPhone, and we’ve just been sent a bit more info, some hot new screenies and a video to really get our galactic juices flowing.

“The extraordinary computing power, the huge display, and the motion sensors of the iPhone are ideal for Galaxy on Fire. We have been able to pull out all the stops and create a universe with unbelievable graphical density,” says Michael Schade, CEO of Fishlabs.

“Combined with the controls using the motion sensors, the result is an extremely realistic feeling of flying. Galaxy on Fire is hardly to recognise on the iPhone. It plays like a completely new game.”

As Michael points out, Galaxy on Fire’s received a huge cosmetic makeover for its iPhone debut, but it’s also received a brand new interface, touchscreen or accelerometer controls and realistic, ‘real-time’ lighting.

And, although it’s a landscape orientated game, you can flip the handset over if you prefer to have the headphone jack on the other side.

Clearly Fishlabs expects us to get the full experience by wearing headphones in Galaxy on Fire, and considering the music and special effects have also have a complete revamp (check out the powerful soundtrack on the video below), that sounds like pretty good advice.

The game’s expected to be with us by the end of March, so in the meantime you can have a read of our reviews of the original Galaxy on Fire and the recent sequel, check out this trailer, and then shuffle toward the edge of your cockpit chair.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
