Seoul, Korea, Republic Of – Playbean today is pleased to introduce Astrowings2 v. 1.0.1 – Space Odyssey for iOS, a complete re-design of their popular scrolling shooter Game.

Astrowings2 includes: 13 stages of increasing difficulty, 4 upgrade levels, 8 different offensive and defensive weapons, 4 levels of difficulty, 3 different types of ships, and boss battles at the end of each stage. With very simple touch and drag navigation and vertical scrolling, battles are filled with a dazzling variety of weapons, ships, weapons fire, and effects.
Feature Highlights:
* 13 stages of increasing difficulty level
* Various enemy units
* 4 upgrade levels and 8 different weapons

At launch in portrait orientation, players select their profile name and their ship. There are three different ships, each with a different balance of characteristics. The red S-Wing vessel is the best overall ship, rated +100% Attack, +100% Defense, and 100% Hit Point. The blue A-Wing spacecraft is strong on offense, rated +200% Attack, -50% Defense, and 50% Hit Point. Finally, the yellow V-Wing ship is strong on defense, rated -50% Attack, +200% Defense, and 150% Hit Point. Players may select any of the three models of ship, and they may then play at any one of four different levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, or Insane.
At each of the 13 stages there is a maximum amount of coins that can be spent on weapons upgrades. Offensive and defensive weapons are acquired in the store, using coins earned through gameplay or coins or packages downloaded as an in-app purchase. Weapons must be added sequentially, following a skills tree that allows the player to customize their ship’s arsenal.
