Hi everybody,
My game “Ace Ferrara And The Dino Menace” came out on iOS yesterday! It marries “Wing Commander”-style space combat with a quirky storyline set in an 80s cartoon universe:
Spacefaring dinosaurs have declared war on mankind and only the Proton Riders - an oddball group of superpilots - can save us from certain defeat!
Strike huge capital ships, patrol the depths of unknown solar systems, navigate mine fields and take out enemy aces! The game’s controls have been designed for touchscreens: Steering is restricted to left/right, but barrel rolling and other maneuvers more than make up for the missing degrees of freedom… Hit the afterburner to get close to your enemies, switch on your guns and circle around them, or take them out with your missiles, all while keeping a close eye on your ship’s different shield quadrants!
Ace Ferrara is a military cadet who just scored the most prestigious internship in the galaxy: aboard the Proton Riders’ flagship Discordia. However, between escorting coffee freighters and manning the fax machine, Ace soon discovers that being an intern among his heroes isn’t quite what he dreamed it would be. Step into Ace Ferrara’s shoes, meet cybernetically augmented cats, daredevil adventurers and the enigmatic Double-Doctor Proton, and work yourself up from lowly intern to galactic hero!
Here’s the game’s App Store link ($1.99 launch sale until Saturday, $3.99 afterwards): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ace-ferrara-dino-menace/id901401597?mt=8

This has been a one-man-effort - I’ve created all graphics, music, code and writing myself, over the course of two years. If you’re interested in any aspect of the game, feel free to ask!
