Yesterday, one-man indie developer Chaotic Box released Silverfish MAX, the super-sized iPad version of its excellent retro-inspired arcade game Silverfish which was previously only available for the the iPhone. Not only does this release bring all the fast-paced neon space bug action of the original to the iPad’s larger screen, but it also adds iCADE support, allowing lucky iCADE owners to play this “retro reborn” title in true classic gaming fashion.
If you are not familiar with the original iPhone release, I highly recommend reading my full review in which I said that Silverfish “will challenge your fingers in a flurry of fun”. Always in motion, players control their Silverfish by flicking up, down left and right anywhere on the screen to change direction, avoiding enemies, charging POW and tapping 2 fingers to activate power ups. Silverfish MAX features 4 gameplay modes, each with their own Game Center leaderboards and loads of achievements:
Reaper Mode – Charge your POW and avoid enemies with the awesome Time Shock power up. Earn MAX POW and turn the tables on your foes!
- Onslaught Mode – Destroy waves of enemies as quickly as possible to avoid overwhelming swarms. Drive up your score multiplier to rack up points and earn extra lives.
- Scavenger Mode – Keep your POW from draining by destroying enemies and collecting tasty Protons.
- Haste Mode – A constant race to max out your POW and defeat your foes. Full-on intense action right out of the gate!
