The developers did a great job with the visual part of the game, and the cartoony artwork definitely works with the overall theme.<\/p>\n<p>Other gameplay elements include increasing your pirate\u2019s stats with the coins that you earn, including the rate of fire, movement, luck, and the power of the demon.  The demon is a creature which you can turn into once you gather enough power, similar to Minigore\u2019s little \u201cclover rage\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4203317760_e79aa2926a.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The build I received doesn\u2019t seem to have a survival mode, although it may be something that appears after you\u2019ve finished the game.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Pirate\u2019s Treasure is a good-looking dual-stick shooter that I\u2019m looking forward to playing once it hits the App Store.  It looks good, sounds decent, and plays like you would expect.  It mixes both Minigore and Guerrilla Bob into a different game experience, and while it didn\u2019t strike me as exceptional, it is something that should be on any iPhone gamer\u2019s radar.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center><object width=\"540\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/nLZSXbRNM_U&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/nLZSXbRNM_U&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"540\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>According to the site the app has now been submitted to Apple for review, and should be showing up on the store shortly!<\/p>\n<p>[via @NoDPad]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chillingo&#8217;s upcoming dual-stick shooter just got the hands on treatment from Daniel of @NoDPad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2127,16,17],"tags":[1515,2892,12,13,2891,3501,346,2890],"class_list":["post-19987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-app-store","category-games-app-store","category-iphone","category-ipod","tag-chillingo","tag-dual-stick-shooter","tag-games","tag-gaming","tag-hands-on","tag-iphone","tag-ipod-touch","tag-pirates-treasure"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19987"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19987\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20003,"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19987\/revisions\/20003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
