Part Spider, Part Velociraptor, it’s Velocispider!!! Take control of a heavily armed araknasaur in this retro arcade shoot-em-up.
Your delicious endangered eggs have attracted the taste buds of the evil CEO of the Robot Seafood Corporation. He will stop at nothing to feast on your eggs, defend them from his relentless army of aquatic robot beasts.
IGN: "The best dinosaur spider cyborg game ever created."
Touch Arcade: "Velocispider is a ton of fun. The game is gorgeous, in a pixel art and chiptune sort of way. The art is full of character, and that character is super ridiculous. I can’t decide if I love the drop sharks (manta rays?) or the bomber whales more."
Games Radar: "It’s a simple arcade-like shooter, but Velocispider’s sharp aesthetics and approachable play mechanics make for a stellar iOS experience that’s an easy recommendation on both iPad and iPhone."

We saw the game on the AppStore while looking for Galaga style games and thought Well this looks interesting… Why not get it? We were pleasantly surprised. Infectious music, aesthetically pleasing pixelated graphics and simple and easy to use controls with a cool story. Anybody who is a fan of space invaders and other old school arcade shooters should give this game a try.
This game is so awesome. We want more! More more more! We’ve been playing this game consistently since it came out. Lots of other games have come and gone, but this one keeps a consistent place on our phone. Its perfect.
So much fun and we love the retro sound effects and graphics! It took us a few minutes to get used to the tilt style of playing. A slide option would be nice, although we rather enjoyed not having to tap our way through a game. :) Recommended!
We love this game. It’s so easy and so much fun to play. Our only complaint is that it needs more levels.
An outstanding game. A throw back to early 80’s. Great game play and simple and accurate game controls. Has been a favorite game for years. Would love to see a new version!
A simple, fun space invaders-esque type of game. The pixel art looks great and the sounds are all good too. Tilt controls don’t fit well in this type of game. It’d be so much better if there were some kind of onscreen controller, like Galaxloid, a similar app. It lets you be much more precise in movement.
We love taking a break to play this game! The tilt controls are challenging but we have big thumbs and really struggle with on-screen controls, so it’s actually a nice change. The top of our screen, however, always that there’s an update available even though there isn’t.
The graphics, the story, and gameplay are all fantastic. We just wish it would be possible to have an alternate control scheme with on-screen buttons to move left and right.
Im totally addicted to this retro arcade game! One of the best we’ve played.
A great game with plenty of "aargh!! Ok just one more time!" Moments. It took us a bit to get to the end but boy do we feel victorious.
It’s an amazing game. We have a problem here, why can’t the game progress be saved to icloud? The idea is that after playing for a while if we delete, then later when we install it back we can have our game and achievement progress back.
Addictive game hope to add. More waves.
The music is great and matches the gameplay quite well. Speaking of gameplay, what a brilliant way to add some spice to the classic Space Invaders mechanic with the egg stealing. 5 stars.
Beautiful pixel art. Hard to beat. Fun to play. Maybe more levels or modes ? But we recommend this brand-new like the old school classic shooters. Good job devs !!!
This game is straight up awesome. We love the music, sfx, and visual style. So gooood.
We were dying all over at first, but it’s satisfying to get better. And you never need to start back at level 1 (though you can re-play earlier levels if you wish). Love that it has iCade support, but our finger gets tired! Please add an auto-fire toggle button (or setting) along with the regular manual fire button.
Honestly a great a experience, worth the money!
We must say it is really hard to beat. Tank you for making it icade compatible!
AppStore needs more pixel games of this quality!
Definitely an amazing game. It was very challenging and definitely an awesome idea that made all our friends gather to watch us.
This game is so fun we can’t stop playing it.
We really like the graphics, very retro. Fun game too!
Good game for us and our 19 children. We all have iPhones thanks to the welfares! In reality this is a fun game.
Before this, we used to groan when we saw a game with tilt controls. But in Velocispider, they’re used to perfection and ideally calibrated. Good thing, too, because you need to think fast and move accurately to dodge enemies and rack up as high a score as possible on your way to an extremely satisfying final boss battle.
Good old fashioned pixel art game, quite challenging, but also quite short, only one level pack. But it’s really interesting so play it! ;)
Simple shooter with fun levels and retro graphics and sounds. Definitely worth the $1.99.
There are no touch controls and there is no restart button. Also, the game is pretty hard.
There aren’t Many games which can snare us into playing for an hour or more… But this one has us hooked. Whoever the 2 reviewers are who give it one star must have made some kind of mistake It’s awesome!
Nice retro game. Reminds us of a Super Duper Space Invaders. Hours of fun!!!!
Great game.. Thnx… 4 making it free..
Fun time waster while we’re standing in line.
Enjoyed the game wish there were more than 20 levels.
It’s an old school arcade game designed for the iPhone.
Plot? Maybe… Graphics? Eeeh, kinda. Old school blow up he aliens kinda fun, most definitely. This game is not one that will have you awake at night figuring out the twist, instead this is 25 cents (or 50 if you had to play at a mall) of shoot the alien till your health runs out, and that’s SO just fine.
This game made us want to build a biomechanical transcendence device that would allow to cross realms into the work that of The Almighty Velocispider! We need more levels to conquer! Great job!
The icon is so threatening. It has everything that keeps us awake at night included in it. Sharks with rocket packs, squid tractor beams, and awesome music!
Very adictive and funny. Play it in iphone and ipads… And for free!
Simple and hard, perfect mobile game.
Feels just like an old super Nintendo game, with awesome random robot creature action! Great arcade game, we highly recommend if you enjoy arcade games!!
Gameplay and soundtrack take us back to the old NES games of the 80s. Good job making a new "old" game!
We feel like we’re actually in an arcade with our joystick and shooter buttons – haven’t even tried the tilt yet! Hooray for 1983, its back!
We like the music and the difficulty of the levels. Although they are hard, they have a good replay value.
Awesome game but very short only 20 levels make more please.
This game has a space invaders feel to it due to the descending foes at the top of the screen, but isn’t boring. The colors are insanely vibrant and overall, the power-ups are really cool too. Definitely get it for free if you can. We did!
The game is just pure fun. For 6 yr olds, their dads and grand dads too!
This is a fantastic game exploding with style and humor. If you are weary of the tilt controls don’t be afraid, this game implements them perfectly and the precision is excellent. The music and graphics are exceptional as well. This game gets very challenging and we would be disappointed if it wasn’t. The only thing we could have asked for are more music tracks, even though we don’t think the music could ever get old. This is a truly new and fresh old school experience bursting with awesome, give it a go!
Tilting action is cool to use and works really well in this game. Addictive and fun to play, we only wish there were 100 levels instead of just 20.
