Who's That Flying!? Message Board

#video I'm generally not very good at shoot-em-ups (Ikaruga somehow excepted). I tend to die, and die often. So playing Who's That Flying today has been a refreshing change for me! More »

There are bad guys out there who need to be blown-up. Go.

You're a superhero with an arm cannon. Go blow bad guys up.

Hi all! We’re very, very pleased to announce that our second minis game, “Who’s That Flying?!” goes live tomorrow on the PlayStation Store!

Check out the all-new, full trailer for the game!

With “Who’s That Flying?!”, we’ve combined side-scrolling shooting action with elements of tower defence and even some up-close and personal quick-time events for the super-dramatic moments!

What that means is that the character you control, the “Guardian of Earth” is pretty much invulnerable, blasting enemies apart and grappling giant bosses with ease – but the cities you are defending are hugely vulnerable. So your goal is not to survive, but rather to stop too many enemies getting past you and destroying your cities.

The story starts out with the Guardian of Earth on trial for allowing the invasion to take place; each level is played out as a flashback as you submit your version of events… in the most dramatic way possible!

The game will become available today on the PS3 and PSP worldwide for the price of $5.99.

We’ve piled as much as we could into our latest game – INCLUDING (but not limited to):

• Story mode with full animated cutscenes detailing the trial of the Guardian of Earth!
• Five unique stages and over 40 individual levels!
• 4 Infinite mode challenges to unlock with local highscore boards!
• Challenge mode with 24 unique trials to unlock!
• 17 different enemy types!
• Masses of bonus artwork and awards!
• Huge finishing moves!
• Combos, medals. Power-ups and more…!

The response we’ve had to our previous minis title, “Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess!” has been phenomenal – thanks to everyone who’s supported us, and we’re really hoping that with “Who’s That Flying?!” we can raise our bar even higher!

Thanks again for all your help and support! If you have any comments, please drop them below and we’ll do our best to respond!

Mediatonic's quirky PlayStation Minis shmup, Who's That Flying?!, was originally supposed to hit PSN in October. In response to a freezing glitch, the developer scrapped the October release plans, putting a question mark (and an exclamation point, why not) on the expected date.

Now, having resolved the issue, Mediatonic has announced new dates for the shooter's PSN release: November 16 in North America and November 17 in Europe. So, just a week until we get to definitively answer the question in the game's title -- oh, wait, it's the "Guardian of Earth" (we knew that who that!). Well, we still have playing the game to look forward to.

Mediatonic's PlayStation Minis shooter arrives on 16th and 17th November.

Mediatonic serves up another mini marvel.

Mediatonic, developer of Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess, has announced the second PSP game to use "WTF" as an abbreviation: Who's That Flying?! (The first was Work Time Fun, of course!) This upcoming Minis game (playable on PSP and PS3) is a horizontal shmup in which the "Guardian of Earth" uses its "HYPER-POWERED LASER ARM" to protect the world from "Doom Beasts."

The game also includes a tower defense element: rather than simply avoiding enemies and shooting what you can, you must limit the number of flying enemies that get past your invulnerable character, in order to stop them from destroying cities.

We'll be able to play this bizarre hybrid-genre game ("with courtroom drama and intrigue!") in early September.

Come see what the creators of Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess have up their sleeves.
