Bit Pilot - Indie Game Showcase @Appstore
Why we love Bit Pilot
Bit Pilot is a great example of a really pure space dodge em up (hey, we made one of those!). This one is all about the control, the entire game is based around one of the most beautifully unique touchscreen mechanics we've ever seen. Move your finger in the direction you want your teeni weeni ship to move, wait... there's more, move your other finger in the same way and your ship moves twice as quick in that same direction. This wonderfully simply, intuitive method is absolutely perfect and really makes this game!
