Moonbase Shootout

by magneus

Simple shooter game on Android, driven by the accelerometers and the touchscreen.

Look around with the phone, then tap to shoot.

Remember that you can shoot incoming projectiles to blow them up!

Currently targets Android 2.2 devices at 800x480.

Sadly I haven't got an Android phone :(

:(. I'll see if I can record a gameplay video. Will be tricky, as it needs to be player's POV!

Same here, I don't own an Android phone.

Tried it out on my Samsung Galaxy i5800.
Didnt't work that well. Touching to start only worked in some few cases and the tilting was very crampy. I almost couldn't find the enemy ships in the upper left corner.
As my device doesn't have the intended screen resolution, no rating from me.

Nice job with the 3d -- for some reason I had to physically turn around to find the ships :) Once I found the ships the actual shooting interaction was good.

Yeah, sorry for not documenting this: UFOs come from the west. Currently using the compass to determine your heading. The idea being that when the game is complete, they can come from 360 degrees, keeping you on your toes!
