iShoot goes 2.0, adds networked play

When your simple-yet-addictive tank shooting game blasts its way to the top of the App Store sales charts and earns you a reasonable fraction of a cool million bucks, what do you do for an encore? Developer Ethan Nicholas has released iShoot 2.0, adding much-requested features to the $2.99 artillery battle (the free iShoot Lite remains unchanged).

The new version of iShoot (App Store) adds plenty of customization options, including a weapon designer, new rulesets and rule editor, background music -- and a local LAN network play option, allowing you to blast 3 of your friends over WiFi whenever you like. Check it out.

This is by FAR the best game for the iPhone I have ever played! So simple but yet so awesome!! I hope the update doesn't cost me anything since I bought the game already :D

Local LAN is redundant. It's like saying ATM machine. Editors?

Fair point, it should say 'local network' -- but since iPhone games may allow network play locally, globally or both, I need a shorthand way to say "you can play on your LAN, your immediately-accessible network, but not across the Internet."

The WIFI multiplayer is nice, but the other improvements they've made that gives a lot more user control (changing cost/damage for each weapon) are pretty cool. This is the only game I play anymore. It's well worth the three bucks!
