Star Fighter X2 is the first game released by Manic Gaming. We're a small mobile apps startup from Ottawa, Canada.
Available for the iPad, SFX2 is an intense head-to-head two player space combat game where you can battle your friends and family to see who can stay alive the longest. Health and weapon power-ups help you get the advantage over your opponent.
Developers will find my game interesting as I used cocos2d for all of the 2D animation and incorporated the chipmunk physics engine to handle body and projectile movement and collisions.
This game was also first prototyped at the 360iDev Game Jam back in April of 2010! The event was fantastic.
SFX2 should appeal to gamers as it uses the large display area of the iPad in a split-screen fashion. Its a casual style where you can quickly pick up the iPad and have a quick 2 or 3 minute battle against your friend!
Here are some great screenshots of Star Fighter X2:

And here is a time lapsed video from how the ships were modeled:

Must say that Cocos2d ROCKS. As well, this community ROCKS! :) I really appreciate all of the help I got from cocos2d and chipmunk users here.

Please write an honest review on the app store and report directly back here about any bugs. I'll be submitting a quick update this week with some issues I have already found.
Thanks again and hope you enjoy the game!
