London, United Kingdom - ITL Games today is pleased to announce Alone 1.6 for iOS, an update to their retro, isometric platformer game. Following a deadly chemical-warfare attack, the city is in ruins. The player must find a vaccine for himself and his girlfriend, while gathering survival gear and fighting off enemies. The update features improved performance, new controls, accelerometer and shake actions, and more fluid movement using a higher frame rate. The two-thumb GUI features touchscreen weapons, unlimited levels, and restart at the last level. Players may control their character using a diagonal joypad, a normal (horizontal & vertical) joypad, or tap on any of the four corners of the screen.


Reminiscent of classic 1980's isometric platformers like Head Over Heels, Batman (Ocean), Knight Lore, and Fairlight on Spectrum/Commodore/Amstrad machines, the room-based game provides an isometric, 3/4 view. Dominant colors include cinderblock grey, hazardous substance yellow & black, and bright ghoul green. There are a wide variety of ingenious 3D platforms and objects that the player must jump onto, move around, or push through. The current version includes ten levels plus four mini-levels that incorporate accelerometer and shake effects. With new levels downloadable on a regular basis, the game effectively has no limit to the number of levels.

Feature Highlights:
* Classic, isometric platformer
* Choice of diagonal or normal joypad, or use four corners of the screen for control
* Fluid movement with advanced frame rate
* Innovative, interactive platforms, obstacles, zombies, and jumps
