OmniBlaster, built for the iPhone and iPad brings in elements of classic arcade games like Space Invaders (tm), Galaga (tm) and Asteroids (tm) and brings them into the modern era with updated graphics and takes advantage of the devices accelerometer and touch screen to create a fun, challenging, multi-level game playable by players of all skill levels.

The OmniBlaster 1.1 update (free update for existing customers, $0.99 in the Apple iTunes App Store for new customers) includes the following:

* Improved Game Play including the new Turbo Boost feature.
* Retina/iPad quality graphics for most objects.
* OpenFeint and Game Center support for Leaderbaords and Achievements
* 19 achievements to be earned.
* Selectable starting level from previously unlocked levels.
* Social Networking support. OpenFeint allows you to post your scores to Twitter and Facebook.
* New controls for tilt sensitivity and game difficulty.
* Improved Help displays.
* and of course, a hand full of bug fixes.

"This game is a major improvement from the original OmniBlaster" said Rob Miracle, the independent developer and mind behind Omnigeek Media. "This is the game it should be."

OmniBlaster is the story of the evil Korgon Empire invading the space of the Virgo Star Alliance, where your home of Earth is located. You have just completed your flight training at the Alliance Navel Academy and have been assigned to your first StarRaider Carrier Group.

Using your Mark I, II, or III StarRaider, you use your Turbo Blasters and Torpedoes to blast your way through wave after wave of Korgon fighters and capital ships, blasting oncoming asteroids while picking up special asteroids to give your ship more powerful features while earning achievements and racking up high scores.

The game has a 5 star rating and customers have said:
"This is a great game"
"OmniBlaster is easy to use, yet addicting! Each level is more and more challenging. It's well worth the price!"
"Great game and fun"
"Lots of fun. I enjoy it, as does my year old son. Definitely worth the price!"
"Simple concept yet hours of fun and entertainment. My new favorite stress relief game."

OmniBlaster was developed using Ansca Mobile's Corona SDK, and advanced toolkit for rapid mobile game development.
