One of our favorite iPhone publishers, Chillingo, recently sent us a preview of an upcoming game from Mountain Sheep called <a href="http://minigore.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Minigore</a>. Many of you may have already heard of it, but it's just too good to leave that to chance.

Minigore is a third-person shooter which puts you in control of John Gore. The objective is to defend John from the "Furries" with his machine gun and other weapons.<!--break-->

But wait, there's more! The more Furries you kill, the more keep coming. It becomes increasingly more difficult to dodge new Furries while fending off others. Lasting as long as you can is the name of the game.

The controls are <i>perfect</i> for the gameplay. Moving John is totally independent of aiming the weapon so it's easy to avoid Furries while shooting. Take a look!

The game has been submitted to the App Store already, so it should only be a matter of days before it's available!</div>

Reminds me of Robotron 2084 back in the 80s arcades. Along with Joust one of Williams better games. Though it got way harder than this game looks. Lost a lot of money back then playing it.

It's a goal in my life to defend people from Furries in general, so this game is right up my alley.

Cute, but needs a little more variety...
