14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Phil Hassey released Galcon for iPhone and iPod touch a while ago, pricing it at close to ten bucks. Later on, Galcon saw a substantial drop in price, down to $4.99 (the fee users currently have to pay for the app), while a Lite version was also released recently. The latter is free to download and play on your iPhone or iPod touch.
According to its maker, “Galcon is an awesome high-paced multi-player galactic action-strategy game.” The player's goal is to send swarms of ships from planet to planet, so as to take over the galaxy. According to those who've had a go with it...
"Just imagine, a game so fast it could be over in 20 seconds, so strategic it could take 15 minutes, so well networked that at any moment there are always countless people blasting each other, so fun that you will play it hours at a time even when there's no WiFi, and so addictive that you'll soon start seeing little triangle spaceships every time you close your eyes!" says davidejorgensen, Galcon player.
Some of the main features of Galcon include Multi-Player capabilities (Local and Internet-wide), with the ability to play against thousands of players world-wide; five diverse Single-Player missions; players ranked on galcon.com; music and sound effects; a Color Blind Mode, and a Netplay option to compete with up to four humans over Wi-Fi, EDGE, or 3G. Galcon Lite includes the Classic mission from Galcon.
"Hands down, the most intuitive game for the iPhone,” another player states. “And multiplayer... are you kidding me?! This game is awesome and it truly shows the capabilities of the iPhone. Developers learn please learn from these guys as they have made one heck of an app!" says Higa27.
"Wow!!! I bought this game because of the added ONLINE play, I am impressed! I think this game is officially the best Game on the App Store! You'll be crazy not to own this game... $10 is a steal," is tushoih's impression.
For $4.99, you can grab Galcon for iPhone and iPod touch 2.0 including all of the features mentioned above. Although it lacks some of the original aspects, the Lite version is just as addictive, and is available for free.
