Worldy Wings iPhone Game Is the Shmup You’ve Been Watching for [IPhone Apps]

Traditional shoot’em Ups, shmups, are awkward on the iPhone, because your left thumb covers a quarter of the screen and your right thumb covers another quarter-bad once you must see every single bullet heading on your ship.

So rather than having to drive your ship along with your hand, you drive it by tilting your phone within the direction you need. It’s less precise, but you do get to determine the whole screen, that is vital for shmups. (You furthermore may be able of using screen press mode, which you’ll actually turn out doing anyway, for more precision in flying.)

Also gone is the outdated process of having to continually press, or hold, a button to shoot. Worldy Wings just has you shooting the full time, something most players do anyway. You only tap the screen if you wish to induce a lightning attack.

With only two difficulty levels, three planes and 5 missions, the game is much too short. But it surely’s $2, and 1942/Raiden fans will like it. [ iTunes ]
