![]() The levels aren't incredibly long, but they do have their own individual feel that makes them seem like their own entity. Each level has a beginning and an end, complete with hidden pathways, secret power-ups, and bosses at the end. Instead of following the path that was originally paved with iDracula, Guerrilla Bob has actual levels that are path based rather than open ended. a wonderfully designed shooter that is certain to be a crowd pleaser. Chillingo, with iDracula and Minigore already sitting in their impressive game catalogue, have really taken control of the dual-stick shooter market with Guerrilla Bob. ![]() There have been so many dual-stick shooter hits on the iPhone that I'm wondering why every developer doesn't have one. Tired: I'm not responsible for your hands cramping up if you play this for too long.ĭisclosure: Chillingo provided a free download code for review purposes.Certain genres just work so well on iDevices, and dual-stick shooters are one of them. Wired: Goofy shooter game with fun characters and upgradeable weapons as a bonus, your life-meter is a burning cigar. (Unfortunately I didn't get the news until Saturday, so you've got today to pick it up if you want it cheap.) ![]() Guerrilla Bob is normally $2.99 at the iTunes store, but this weekend it's on sale for $.99. I've been informed that in the next few weeks there are several major updates coming, too, including a "Mercenary" mode and a slew of new weapons, from a baseball bat to a shotgun to a sticky bow. Guerrilla Bob also uses the Crystal leaderboards system but I tend to ignore those myself. I haven't been able to reproduce the crashes consistently so your mileage may vary. The game provides a few save slots so you can keep a few games going, although I did encounter a couple crashes while trying to switch between two loaded games. I especially liked the little Guy Ritchie-esque splash screens shown when you encounter a new villain. I do like the graphics: the character animations are well-done and although you can see some of the sharp corners and edges of the polygon models, it works because everything is intentionally cartoony. Beating the game unlocks a survival mode, which puts you in a large enclosed space with constantly-spawning enemies. As you play, you can also look for weapon upgrades that will increase your rate of fire and damage done. You start off with just a machine gun, but once you have more weapons just tap the icon at the bottom of the screen to change weapons. The controls are fairly simple: left thumb controls the movement, right thumb controls the shooting (just like Robotron, for old folks like me). Sure, it's a silly story, but since when have you needed much of a story to run around and shoot bad guys on your iPhone? Guerrilla Bob is a dual-stick shooter game from Angry Mob Games that pits you–armed with a machine gun, rocket launcher, and flame thrower–against a crazy army wielding bombs, chainsaws, exploding barrels. Vowing revenge, Bob found out where John and his troops were holed up and sabotaged the army's plan to nuke the place so he could settle things himself, man to man. Eventually John set Bob up and got him kicked out of the army in disgrace. While he was in the army becoming a national hero, his childhood friend John became a criminal.
