I don't know exactly what genre this game falls under. Action I guess. It's a bit of a mix between an old game called "Paratroopers" and a classic missile defense, but with tilt controls. I tried to make the controls as simple as humanly possible, so there are no on-screen buttons and most of the gameplay is done by tilting the device.
The game will have the following features:
- Over 20 different levels in story mode.
- Various survival modes (will be implemented as an update, at first it will only have a story mode)
- More than 10 different weapons to shoot, from machine gun to plasma cannon to missile launchers.
- Various powerups, including lasers, nukes, etc.
- Boss levels, gradual increase in difficulty.
- Online highscores (using CocosLive) and detailed statistics which includes accuracy, etc.
I haven't made a video yet, but here are a few screenshots. I'm still polishing everything up. It relies A LOT on particle systems for effects. Runs at a good 30 FPS (can be higher, but then the game is a bit too fast, so I set a limit to be consistent across all devices), though on older devices there is a bit of room for improvement, but it doesn't affect gameplay much.

These are older screenshots. The bad guys have life bars and some things look a tiny bit different and I took those while testing performance, but just to give you an idea. I plan on uploading it to the store in the coming week.
What do you guys thing? Sorry, no video yet, I need to grab a good camera first :)
