The mother of artillery (Worms, Angry Birds and the likes) games is back: to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the famous late 1980s Atari ST game "Ballerburg", we are happy to release the first retro-style iPhone version of Ballerburg, this time also in English :)

Ballerburg proves that simple game concepts are also the best. Two castles, a mountain - and cannons. Beat the enemy kingdoms castle by hitting its well guarded king. For each cannon shoot, angle and amount of used gunpowder has to be adjusted wisely. Changing wind and the fact, that cannonballs and gunpowder are limited resources make the battle even more interesting. As the own inhabitants are paying taxes, this money can be used to rebuild cannons and walls or buy gunpowder, cannons and derricks. But don't tax them too much, otherwise your people might join your opponent.

Now, all those who have been addicted to Ballerburg decades ago can play the cult classic on their iPhones - without having to get their old Ataris from attic. And the feeling will be the same as back then: we tried to get as close to the original version by Eckard Kruse as possible, which means graphics, sound and gameplay - same as 25 years ago.

I understand that this game is the root of the artillery games as you say, but must we insist on outdate graphics? The least you could do is revamp the look and feel of the game while maintaining Gameplay
 
The current version - the retro version - is on purpose 1:1 like the Atari Version (wasn't easy to do it that way :) ), but yes we are planning a version with a more modern look & feel while retaining the already very entertaining gameplay.
So there might be a "Ballerburg retro" (the current version) and a Ballerburg new using the powers of modern touch devices.
