Apocalypse Meow, iOS indie game review!

Recently I was given a chance to Beta test an upcoming indie game on iOS titled Apocalypse Meow! The game is a old school hell fire style game where you take the place of a group of space dogs on a mission to rescue the last humans from the traitorous cats.

The game is developed by a little 4 man studio called SplitCell games, based in San Francisco, California. The game has been in production for the last 9 months and is soon coming to the app store in the summer.

So the game itself, a whole lot of fun with face paced action and useful game mechanics. The inclusion of collecting materials throughout levels and using it for upgrades really has the effect to make you come back and try again instead of getting mad and turning it off. I really enjoyed the boss battles with the cats as they had really original patterns to dodge and didn't feel like they were going easy on you like most iOS games do these days.

The controls for the game are the basic from these hell fire type games just moving left right up and down to dodge the millions of billions of bullets that come your way. However using your finger to move around can be a bit sticky if you have sweaty fingers so I wouldn't mind a little on screen joy stick for the thumb maybe.

I was really impressed by the amount of  work and effort that was put into the visual graphics and voice acting to make the game to really make it feel like a game produced by a big time mobile developer like PopCap etc.

All in all the game is a lot of fun and a great way to pass time and a huge bonus that its all in HD with great voice acting and longevity with at least 10 levels instead of the regular rouge like, last as long as you can you usually get with these games.

The game will was created in their own custom engine and will be ported to android and consoles when the time comes! Apocalypse Meow will be available for download for iOS sometime in the start of the summer so make sure to check it out for an absolutely great game!
