Tilt to Live adds local 'Viva la Co-op' mode
As teased in January, Joystiq favorite Tilt to Live has just added co-op play, which normally would be enough prompting for us to swear off work and spend the day exploding bombs and killing stupid dots together. Unfortunately, the news comes with a couple of caveats. For one, co-op can only be played locally via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Additionally, it's only available in the game's "Viva La Turret" mode, with one player free flying and the other controlling the turret. (Also of note: finishing touches are still being put on the iPad version of the update.) Of course, it's a freebie for anyone who's ponied up the buck for the Viva La Turret DLC, so we're not grousing too much. See what you're in for in the (very funny) co-op trailer after the break. ... So, umm, anyone wanna come over to our house and play? Mom made pizza rolls.
Tilt to Live HD add-on introduces a case of turrets
One Man Left has deployed an upgrade for the iPad version of its fantastic top-down shooter, Tilt To Live. The "Viva la Turret" mode is available as an in-app purchase and centers around the strategic use of a powerful new weapon: the Perferator turret. This bad boy provides 360 degrees of defense against the game's relentless red dots, but only lasts for a limited time and needs a short period to respawn between uses. Those who already own Tilt to Live HD can get the Viva la Turret add-on for $1. One Man Left has decided to include the mode for new buyers, but has bumped up the game's price from $4 to $5 as a result. We'd say the shmup could be $15 and we'd still buy it in an instant, but we don't want to give anybody ideas.
