ABOUT:

Enter Stella, the AstroCat. Shes the only remaining cat in the galaxy. Your mission as Stella, should you choose to accept, is to defend the moon you call home from the space dogs.

Grab some catnip, and prepare yourself for an onslaught. Destroy as many space dogs as possible with your amazeballs fire fur balls. Can you beat the high-score of 412,000 points?! Maybe dogs really are a stronger species....

Go get em, Stella. Youre a galactic wildcat now. Show them youve got more than a cat scratch.

HOW:

Incorporates scenes, nodes, NSArray texture animations, physics, velocity, collision, sound effects, CPU node count management, randomized enemy spawning and particle systems, etc. Artificial intelligence utilized to keep score and manage lives in the HUD. NSTimeInterval accessed to make game more challenging as time elapses. Category bitmasks used to enable simple bitwise AND/OR operations. Dynamic game run loop structured to enable restart with touch.
