Onslaught from Space - Iphone Application

Onslaught from space is an arcade gaming application. This game has neon colors with simple graphics and sound effects together with iPhone’s touch screen and accelerometer controls which makes it quite familiar but challenging. The concept of the game is simple that is you are flying a spaceship and then you are being attacked by other spaceships. You need to tap the screen to shoot at enemies with the lasers. For the shoots you get rewarded with points that are turned into cash which you can use later in repairing, health upgrades and more new weapons like missiles and bombs.
You have to tilt the phone side to side and back and forth so that you can align yourself with the enemy ships. The two radar screens will help you in checking what is in front of and behind you though the range is limited. You are in a fixed position though the ships can approach or retreat.

The successive levels are harder and stronger and you can see more ships approaching. You can find 33 levels. The concept of storing is good but all the listed items are not worth purchasing. The missiles are not as good as they should be. Repairs and health upgrades are good. The weapons available can be viewed at the bottom of the screen but you have to slide them over and select which one you want to use at a particular time. This is quite clumsy and confusing. All in all this game is pretty intuitive and enjoyable.
