Publisher Chillingo and developer h.grenade have released their 2D shoot-'em-up Circuit Strike.One on Apple's App Store.
The arena-based shoot-'em-up, also known as CS.One, is available now for 59p. The game captures the spirit of classic arcade sci-fi shooters, and is presented in bright neon style made popular by the likes of Geometry Wars.
"CS.One will not walk you to the bus, hold your hand, make you a heart-shaped PB&J or applaud your half-assed skills. It will however, have you begging for more abuse. Call it tough love – through gaming,” said Shay Casey, studio head of h.grenade.

"h.grenade was established to help counter the onslaught of cute happening in mobile and casual games. There are just not enough frenetic, explosive, and stylised action titles available. We want to see more games that are highly polished, original and artistic, fast paced and ideally more violent in the casual genre. Who doesn’t love destruction? Even in small doses.”
Offering what the publishers promise is the first interactive audio/visual environment mixed in real-time, on beat and in response to player actions, CS.One features three difficulty levels and 30 achievements.
