Madfinger Games has updated its Silver Award-winning iOS shoot-'em-up Shadowgun to support a native resolution of 2048x1536. In layman's terms, the shooter now supports the new iPad's gorgeous Retina display.

Plus, thanks to the A5X processor that powers Apple's latest touchscreen slate, Shadowgun now boasts 4x MSAA anti-aliasing while still managing to maintain smooth gameplay.

Finally, for those of you still rocking a first-gen iPad or an iPod touch, this small refresh should also fix those pesky crashes you've probably been experiencing due to a lack of system memory.

If you're yet to grab this rather excellent shooter, now may be the perfect time to do so: Shadowgun is currently on sale for just £1.99 / $2.99. We call that a bargain here at Pocket Gamer Towers.
