Violet Storm Erupts Into The iOS Store

Some iOS games, such as Chaos Rings II, try to take the player on an epic adventure. Some, on the other hand, just try to put some raw destructive power in the hands of the player, and let them unleash hell. Violet Storm ($0.99), from Sad Cat Software, is very much in the latter category. Violet Storm is a vector based dual-stick shooter, in the same vein as Geometry Wars: Touch featuring some great glowing neon graphics and a pumping techno soundtrack. If you are not familiar with dual-stick shooters or the Geometry Wars style graphics, a handy gameplay trailer has been produced to show you what Violet Storm is all about: If you can't see the video above, it can also be watched by clicking here. Along with its intensive and fast paced gameplay Violet Storm also features:

• 25 different enemies and 10 weapon types
• Lots of power ups
• Three different gameplay modes
• Universal support with Retina ready graphics for the iPhone 4 / 4S
• Autosave
• Varying difficulty settings
• Game Center support

  You may have noticed that the Retina graphics are only available when playing on the iPhone 4 or 4S and not the new iPad. While not confirmed, I suspect Sad Cat Software is working on this for inclusion at a later date. If you're looking for a super fast paced, intense yet fun shooter for short bursts of action, Violet Storm really is the one for you. This game is not for the faint hearted however!
