Space Station: Frontier

15th December 2009, London, UK: Origin8 are pleased to introduce the latest iPhone/iPod Touch project from the team behind the award winning "Sentinel" tower defence games. Their third sci fi strategy game "Space Station: Frontier" has been submitted to Apple and is currently awaiting approval.

Set a century after the events of "Sentinel 2: Earth Defense", "Space Station: Frontier" sees the player in charge of a deep space mining operation in dangerous territory on the edge of Solar System. By constructing and powering networks of mining tools and weaponry – centred on the titular space station – players must juggle resource harvesting with the defence of their station against hordes of hostile alien ships.

"Space Station: Frontier" introduces a persistent upgrade system wherein the player purchases benefits and technologies that remain available across all game modes, essentially "levelling up" their station. Game modes consist of a mission-based campaign and a number of open-ended scenarios where players can compete for local or global high scores.

"Space Station: Frontier" includes full high scores and achievements from the OpenFeint social gaming network, and sound effects and music from veteran audio studio Earcom.

The team's breakout game, "Sentinel: Mars Defense" is currently free for a limited period in the run up to Christmas. It is available from the App Store at http://itunes.com/app/sentinel.
