1. After the success of our Galaxy Invader and Invader from Space games, BeatsNBobs are proud to release our most eagerly anticipated and requested video game emulation, Astro Wars.
2. We had to modify the controls as it simply does not work as well on an iPhone or iPad so you now have extra large arrow keys but we have left the joystick in for the purists out there (which you can try to use but we recommend the larger arrow keys).
3. If using with iCade or compatible controller, press the iCade button on top left and you can now use joystick and red fire(5) button.
4. It was one of the most advanced video games of the time with four sub games, coloured fluorescent display and a joystick only seen in the arcades.
5. Press fire, left and right for thrusts to land rocket ship.
6. "Fans of the old tabletop game from Grandstand will be highly impressed with this accurate IOS port.
7. We have painstakingly analysed every detail of this game and we have managed to achieve 99% of the original.
8. These types of machines were made by companies such as Grandstand, Tomy, Entex, CGL, Tandy, Bandai and Epoch to name but a few.
9. Game is complete when you reach 9999 points or you lose all your lives.
10. If this happens just press the button again to turn it off.
11. NOTE: pressing this without connection to a compatible Bluetooth controller will bring up the keyboard.
