ngmoco reveals details of forthcoming iPhone retro shooter
A cross between Geometry Wars and Thrust, apparently
We've been chatting to ngmoco (see part 1 of our interview with Neil Young, ngmoco's CEO). But we're not alone. Over at TouchArcade they've been chatting with the design team at ngmoco about the company's new retro-styled shooter currently in development for the iPhone.
The as-yet unnamed application is described as being a cross between the already classic XBLA/Wii/DS game Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved and the awesome BBC Micro shooter from the '80s, Thrust.
That's the kind of vector-based promise of blast-'em-up destruction that gets us all excited and giggly. Hopefully landing this side of Christmas, keep checking back for more details as they leak out. Eep!
Spanner Spencer
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.
