Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. If it reaches us it could be catastrophic. Luckily the boffins have created a missile that sill destroy it but oh no on impact it seems to have created a bigger problem. Now millions of smaller asteroids are heading to earth and will cause the water levels to rise. The planet mobilises all it’s defence to shoot the asteroids out of the sky. As the Captain of Mr Gunboat it is your job to defend your position in ‘Sector 8’. Good luck Captain………… Mr Gunboat is an arcade style action game. The game is designed as a 1 finger game and is inspired by retro games and arcade games of the past. Simple to play and fun it has that ‘just one more go’ addictive quality. Your aim is to shoot the asteroids as they fall from the sky, just tap to shoot. Don't let the asteroids hit the water or the water levels will rise. If the water rises too far the Earth is doomed and it's game over. Look out for boxes that provide weapons that will help your cause. Rapid fire, laser, triple shot, rainbow shield and submarine attack. +50% and +100% health are also provided to help as things get tricky.

Mr Gunboat APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
