Tilt to shoot. Sounds simple, and it is, when you’re playing John Kooistra’s Defend! on iPhone.
What at first may look like just another Space Invaders clone with spruced-up visuals quickly differentiates itself through its incredibly simple control scheme: Tilt to shoot.
Your fighter continuously shoots straight up — think rRootage — and all you do to target oncoming enemies is tilt your iPhone to one side, which makes your fighter move in the opposite direction. New levels also have you switching to landscape play, and then back again.
The only downside, as with rRootage, is that there is no sound, but that could easily be fixed in a future update. Note to Kooistra: Shooters are much more fun when you hear the shooting.
I’ve played around with it some, and it’s definitely a fine time-waster that I didn’t mind spending a dollar on.
