About ANTI-ARES
ANTI-ARES is a side-scrolling arcade shoot-'em-up, built by hand and sold on plain terms: one purchase, no ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no internet. Build your loadout before every run: one energy shot chosen from five, and four shot slots, each set from fourteen shot types. Then fight through five hand-built stages, each ending in a boss. FEATURES - Loadout selection: five energy shots and fourteen shot types to combine - Four shot slots, each set independently before you launch - Sub-shooters drop mid-stage and fight alongside you - Five hand-built stages with destructible terrain and boss battles - Three difficulty levels, plus a new-game-plus loop once you clear it - Touch controls designed for the device: a floating stick and clear buttons PLAYS THE WAY YOU EXPECT - Buy once, play forever. No ads. No in-app purchases. - No account, no sign-in, no internet connection required. - Collects no data of any kind. ABOUT I first made ANTI-ARES in 2010 — the art, the music, the sound and the code, all of it on my own. Sixteen years later, I rebuilt it to run on iPhone and iPad. It is a straightforward arcade shooter, made because I wanted to play one. I hope you enjoy it.
