Studio Radiolaris has released Radio Flare Redux ($2.99), a successor title to its music-based, horizontally scrolling shoot-’em-up Radio Flare.

Radio Flare Redux retains many of the gameplay concepts introduced in Radio Flare. Players use one thumb or finger to dodge incoming bullets, while another finger targets enemy craft. Chains of enemies can be locked on and destroyed with a single swipe.

Radio Flare Redux’s gameplay pulses to the beat of each level’s background music track. Redux features a selection of licensed techno, club, and house music from artists including Kevin Gorman, Fischerspooner, Grace Jones, Tommie Sunshine, and DJ Hell.

Redux includes 33 levels, a selection of mission-based achievements, and global online leaderboards. A gameplay trailer is below.

Two pieces of news from Chillingo today. The first bit is quite exciting, because it feeds my incurable craving for great game trailers.

Radio Flare REDUX – New Game Trailer
I put up a video for Radio Flare REDUX before showing the differences between the original and the sequel, but this new trailer really looks like a white-knuckle affair. Check it out, it looks really good!

Assault Squadron

The second bit of news is of a new Chillingo title, Assault Squadron. Assault Squadron is a new sci-fi shoot-em-up that looks to be very pretty. It boasts a custom built graphics engine that pumps out 60 fps. I’ll leave the rest of the description up to the developer.

“The Global Defense Force (GDF) reports that Earth is under attack by a hostile, unidentified vessel containing thousands of enemy craft. Striking with unwavering precision, the invasion destroys key defensive facilities to leave Earth and its inhabitants at the mercy of fearsome alien attackers.

You are a part of the Assault Squadron, an elite tactical space combat force dispatched by the Federal Alliance to defeat the alien enemy. Assault Squadron’s explosive sci-fi missions and in-depth storyline will thrill shoot-‘em-up fans and casual players as they battle to save the Earth.”


Radio Flare Redux – Trailer Full Of Space Beats

Radio Flare Redux – Trailer Full Of Space Beats is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

The original Radio Flare had a whole bunch of good beats, but was a bit lacking in the action department. Back in April we gave it a 3.5 star review, but were quite impressed by its audio excellence. Bonnie wrote in the original review “I think that Radio Flare’s audio stands for itself; its synchronization with your actions really makes it feel like you’re completely immersed in the game, and every time you play, the soundtrack will be different.”

Studio Radiolaris is now coming out with the sequel to Radio Flare, Radio Flare Redux, and the app is now being published by Chillingo. This time, the action really looks to be amped up, which will hopefully make this one a real winner. Check out the new trailer and see for yourself. Enjoy!
