Action-oriented Tower Defense : AR Defender 2 by int13

ArDefender 2 | multiplayer tower defense game developed by int13

Months after their bullet hell Shogun: Rise Of The Renegade, int13 is back in town with a new production published by famous mobile game specialist Bulkypix.

Available for smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android), ArDefender 2 is a multiplayer Tower Defense game with Augmented Reality (that’s the « AR » of the title) capability.

You can play either in solo or co-op mode, up to 4 players (via Wi-Fi), choosing six specialized heroes (each with their own skills) to help you to defend your position.

How does the AR work?

ArDefender 2 | AR TagThe game uses marker visual printed on paper (you can draw it too) called « AR tag » and the camera tracks the symbols to hold the whole game steady in your real-life environment.

This is the best Augmented Reality that you will find in a video game. Full stop.

Not your grandma’s tower defense

ArDefender 2 is not that only a tech demo that works wonders, above all, it is a very well balanced gameplay.

In AR mode, the way to play is quite challenging too, because when you decide to pilot a turret, you have to directly aim the enemies (by moving your device), collect the coins, upgrade your weapons and so on.

You can clearly see that the developers have worked hard on every detail of the game.
On iPad (Retina display), it does look freaking good!

On a side note, if you don’t give a damn for the AR or you are afraid it drains the battery, you just need to turn the option off since the game provides several backgrounds too.

Oh, and the icing on the cake, AR Defender 2 is FREE with in-app purchases (to unlock contents but fully playable without).

La Bible Amiga par Eric Cubizolle

La Bible Amiga par Eric CubizolleEn 1991, à deux pas de mon lycée, un revendeur informatique avait eu la bonne idée de faire tourner en boucle un jeu vidéo* sur une machine dont j’ignorais tout, le sort était jeté et mon compte en banque allégé.

Plus de 20 ans après, les éditions Pix’N Love, sous la plume de Éric Cubizolle, rendent hommage à l’ordinateur le plus populaire de sa génération, celui qui a marqué à jamais l’univers informatique: l’Atari l’Amiga.

Avec un premier modèle commercialisé en 1985 par Commodore, la machine 16/32 bits alliait performance, graphisme hors pair, qualité sonore inédite, laissant la concurrence sur le carreau (comment ça, pas objectif?).

Freeware game Throw Up When oldschool meets newschool

Freeware game Throw UpTo cut the question short, in case you were wondering if Throw Up is related to stomach ache, puke and stuff. NO.

Throw Up is a puzzle / arcade game loosely inspired by Quarth released in 1989 by video game veteran Konami, where you need to shoot on shapes to create rectangles.

The gameplay may sound very easy at first but you will discover that the progression is quite difficult indeed, and you will play over again to beat your best score (and challenge your friends via Facebook and Twitter).
