Triphids! Retro Arcade SHMUP for iPhone / iPod Touch

http://www.triphids.com Pro-tip: If you're in search of some retro-throwback shoot-em up action for your iPhone/iPod Touch, the Triphids will soon be your number one foes.

Triphids is a tube-shooter along the lines of classics like Gyruss and Tempest: you maneuver around a circle and harvest patterned waves of enemies for points, and they attempt to blow you to smithereens with their projectiles so they can harvest the solar system for some grim unknown purpose. As you progress, you gather weapon upgrades and ship restoration capsules to help you on your way. Pilots of the Wyndham must conserve their weapons fire so as to not overheat their experimental reactor and burn out their lasers. When fully cooled, the Wyndham's reactor is capable of reversing the polarity on Triphid weapons fire: leaving the Wyndham unscathed and giving the Triphids a taste of their own medicine.

Check out the Triphids at http://www.triphids.com, or on the App Store.

Note: This is some in-game footage, shot with a video camera. I apologize for the camera losing focus, the star field is very confusing for it.
