Announcing Armado for the iPhone!

2008-11-07T08:53:00.000-08:00

Soon after Spore Origins was completed for Electronic Arts, we continued to work on our very own titles. We're happy to tell you that we're wrapping one up. In fact, we've completely reworked the Mac/PC version of Armado specifically for the iPhone. The engine, artwork, and controls all got an overhaul, and it's looking (and feeling) really nice. We're going to submit our build to Apple today, so we'll just have to wait for it show up in the App Store. However, while we wait for the game to show up we've updated our website with the latest Armado information such as screenshots, movies, and more.

We'll have more details very soon!
