Barrel Defender is an old school retro Arcade Shooter inspired by ‘Defence Command‘ an old Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80 game. Protect your Energy Barrels, collect extra weapons and blast away waves of aliens!

Barrel Defender is easy to control. Your spacecraft follows the slide of your finger and is in auto-shoot mode. It’s the ideal game for the casual player.   Enjoy blasting aliens for a couple of minutes…

Features:

• 2 game modes ( wave mode and quick game )
• a bunch of different aliens and movement pattern
• a bunch of extra weapons
• 2 GFX Sets ( Solid and Vector )
• different backgound gfx
• easy to control
• quite easy play

Main Screen:

You play 5 stages with 5 waves each. Each wave uses predefined enemy patterns. After a specific amount of kills, you enter the next wave. This mode is quite easy in the beginning and real challange for the experienced gamer  but still fun to blast everything away…

In this mode the game play difficulty increases rapidly so pickup your extra weapons on time…

Note: if you tap once on ‘Start Wave Game’ or ‘Start Quick Game’ the high score display shows the high score for the chosen mode.

If you tap on the top of the screen while playing, you get the in game option screen.

Special Enemies:

Snatchers try to steal your Energy Barrels. If a Snatcher is carrying a Barrel and you kill it, the Snatcher releases the Barrel.

Protect the Energy Barrels against the Snatcher.  Catch a falling barrel to save it. If you lost all you barrels, the game is over.

The Bonus Ship drops a ‘price’ when killed. If you catch the price you get a powerup.
