Star Hogs blasts onto the App Store

We were impressed with what we saw of Worms on iPhone last week, but don’t think it has the turn-based blaster sub-genre all to itself.

Space Hogs from IUGO sports a similar premise to Team17’s classic series, but introduces a whole heap of unique touches and a more serious sci-fi style.

Rather than gurning invertebrates, you take control of powerful mobile gun-platforms, which can be kitted out with all manner of destructive ordinance before the fireworks begin.

Tracy was impressed with what he saw when he went hands on at GDC, and was particularly looking forward to the online multiplayer element. 32 single player levels across three game modes should keep solo gamers happy, too.

Star Hogs is out now on the App Store, along with a free Lite version, so there really is no excuse for not trying out what IUGO refers to as “one of our most ambitious games to date”.

Naturally we'll also be bringing you our final thoughts on the game.
