Hello guys!
Here you can find the game on the app store:
https://itunes.apple.com/app/id970612385Our next and last activity: Android port. We might add some new stuff like Survival Mode and Global Highscores along the way.
Here is a short Teaser video we made:

The game is called Magenta Arcade, it is an "old but new style" shoot'm up for iOS.
ScreeniesSome screens of how the game is now (the art is probably final):
A bit of the story and designIn the screenies you can see there is no main character, the actual game character is you. That's where we believe we can be innovative in the game design. In the story, you are a kind of god that maintains your power by realizing wishes from your people, until our villain -Ivo- comes up with a wish that gives him the power to hurt you.
After being hurt for the first time, when one of Ivo's power touches your finger, you faint to only wake up some years later, when everything is on chaos, dominated by Ivo and his robot minions. Now you have use the power (weapons) you gain from your peoples wishes to fight through the robots. When you put your finger on the screen, though, you become vulnerable to be hurt from Ivo's powers.
The game has a sarcastic/humorist tone, it's name comes from Ivo's big "kinda Magenta" "black power" hair. Also, as we're from Brazil (and speak Portuguese as our mother language), it is nice that Magenta Arcade works in Portuguese as much as it does in English.
The GameThere are 5 levels. Each level has from 5 to 10 minutes of gameplay counting the boss (Ivo reappears in the end of every level with a new challenge), but the player will probably need to try more than once to finish it. We're trying to make it so it's very hard, but not frustrating.
