App Description

Anyone can rise to the challenge in this action packed shoot'em up. Phoenix is a modern arcade game with intense action and brilliant graphics, where every playthrough is different. Some of our unique features include:

* Dynamic Difficulty – fun for everyone!
Phoenix is a challenging game that adapts its difficulty to the player skill, making it exciting for players of all skills. The adaptive AI director ensures the game provides a fair challenge for everyone, by changing the difficulty while playing.

* Procedurally Generated Content
The procedural content generator can create hundreds of thousands of enemy variations. Combined with the adaptive AI director, no single game will be the same.

* Amazing Visuals
Our in-house developed Flare engine provides the ability to display hundreds of bullets and particles at the same time, while still running on all iOS devices, including the original iPhone. This makes Phoenix one of the most spectacular shoot 'em ups available for everyone with an iPhone or iPod Touch.

* Regional High Score Ladders and Game Center Support
Phoenix can use location information to build regional high scores rankings, so you can compare scores with other players in your vicinity. Become the best player in your city, province, country and continent! Phoenix also includes Game Center support to compare your score with those of your friends.
