Astro Party is a free to download same-device multiplayer space blaster that's basically a Universal version of Astro Duel. It's just landed in New Zealand, so it should be out in the UK at midnight.

Two players can play on an iPhone, or four on an iPad. You control a retro-tastic spaceship that can only turn right. You've got two buttons and you need to kill your opponents. That's about it.

There are dynamic arenas, three different games modes, and the sort of pixelated explosions that make my heart swell with bizarre nostalgic pride.

Astro Party should be hitting the UK App Store later today, and when it does it won't cost you a thing to pick it up and give it a go.
