* Currently on sale for a limited time. *
Cyclone 2000 is an Android clone of the Atari Jaguar game Tempest 2000.
** If you have problems or find bugs, please send me a mail instead of bad review! **
Please try the demo version first, to make sure it works well on your device. To sponsor the development, go ahead and buy this version.
The full version will consist of 100+ levels. Currently it the first 64 levels (blue, red, yellow and rainbow levels).
Collect powerups to buy extra help in form of permanent particle laser, A.I.droid, jumping or extra lives. They can be disabled, if you change your mind.
Settings include control type and size, music path and music and sound effects volume. Before complaining about the controls, please test them for a while to see which one suits you the best. Also try different control sizes.
The first time the game is started, it will select control type and size based on your device properties.
Control types:
Multi touch swipe:
Lower part of display is used to swipe left and right to move the blaster. Right side buttons used for shooting, jumping and superzap. This is the default control for Android 2.2+ devices with true multi touch.
Dual touch swipe:
Similar to multi touch swipe, but for devices without true multi touch. Lower part of display is used to swipe left and right to move the blaster and simultaneously shoot, and swipe up to jump. Right side buttons used for superzap. This is the default control for Android 2.2+ that does not have true multi touch.
Single touch arrows:
Use on devices without multi touch. Controlled with one finger, typically the thumb. Side-arrows area moves while shooting. Up arrow area moves and shoots and jumps when available. Top area superzaps. Center area does not move, the further out on the arrows, the faster movement.
Multi touch arrows:
Use on devices with multi touch. Left side similar to single touch arrows for moving. Right side buttons used for shooting, jumping and superzap. This control type works well with the touch emulated Sixaxis controller.
Multi touch circular:
Use finger to rotate around the circular control on the left side. Right side buttons used for shooting, jumping and superzap.
If keys or gamepad controls are used, the controls can be hidden from the screen to get full screen view. Key mappings are done in the control settings. Gamepad control supports analog joystick for movement. Tested with Sixaxis controller.
On Android 4.0+ and devices with soft keys, there is an option to go to real fullscreen mode. Note that this does not work when using touch controls, only when using keyboard or gamepad.
For some older devices, performance can be increased by setting the sound effect volume to zero.
For copyright reasons, the original Tempest 2000 music is not included in the game, but any background music can be selected in the settings. The Tempest 2000 soundtrack is available if you google for it. Or buy it, if you can. It's good.
Bug reports or suggestions are welcome to my mail or Google+. Praise is best shown by buying the full version, giving good rating and telling all your friends.
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is needed on some devices to read the background music.

Cool little clone remake of a retro classic! And since No one else is doing anything retro like this. Brother still has a work Jaguar 64 with The original title! It cool to have something similar on your smartphone!

This game is a great port of the Jaguar version. I wouldn't say its a perfect port, but it is a lot better, with some improvements. It would be nice to see some of the f/xs and color array from the Atari version though to improve upon it... otherwise i
