VECTROS
About
VECTROS, the fighter craft you steer with your iPhone, is preparing to launch! Controlled by your iPhone's gyro sensor, it's about to take off for a space dogfight in a world of racing lights and lambent energy not seen since TRON.
*A sci fi setting drawn with vector scan graphics
*A war between the allied forces of Earth and an encroaching Mars
*A thrilling race to the enemy's headquarters
*A twofold test of piloting skill, destroy enemies and avoid obstacles
VECTROS has two powerful weapons: quick firing "laser blasters" as well as devastating "homing missiles" that leave no escape. It must use these to destroy every stage's boss, each with its own attacks and requiring its own tactics to conquer.
The game music and sound effects were created by Ogura Hisayoshi Onga Seisakushow, famous for the music from games like those in the "DARIUS" series and “DARIUSBURST" (GretaThing / Hello 31337).
The original soundtrack, “Silent Errors,” is available on the iTunes Store.

The main illustrator, Yoshitoshi Abe, works in “S-F Magazine.”
Updated to reflect feedback from visitors at the Tokyo Game Show 2012 (TGS2012).
Compatible with “GameCenter”; Players compete with each other across the world for high scores.
Additional stages are scheduled to be added later in a free upgrade.
A Score Attack mode which enables players to keep fighting through an endless map is scheduled to be added as an upgrade as well.
[Story]
Mars and Earth are at war. VECTROS, developed by Mars in an effort to wipe out the Earth alliance, has been turned to fight for the outnumbered and outgunned forces of Earth. The irony is not lost on the allied Earth forces, who have reprogrammed "Cynthia," its military droid pilot, to be the centerpoint of a sneak attack on the Martian headquarters.
Become "Cynthia," and save the Earth!
[Developmental background]
VECTROS and its weightless, high speed fights move through space in a wireframe battlefield, the vector scan graphics that entertained a different generation of gamers. Then raster scan games went mainstream, polygons appeared, and vector scan games died out. Development of VECTROS began with a psychological need to answer the question, “What would happen if Vector Scan games never died out?”
It's a world like you've never seen, the outline of an intricate facility drawn with luminous TRON-like energy, hanging weightlessly in the perfect black of deep space. The enemy headquarters will race around you as you battle your way towards its center.
Compatible: iPhone (3GS and above), iPad (iPad2 and above, including iPad mini), and iPod touch (The 4th generation and above).
Compatible OS: iOS4.3 and above.
