A Closer Look At The Prototypes That Became Your Favourite Games!
Unreleased Cyboid iPod Video Debug
Cyboid is a high-speed real 3D FPS (First Person Shooter) designed and optimized for Android that while free contains absolutely no adverts. The game includes single player, split-screen for two players and internet multiplayer real-time game modes for up to eight players!
Cyboid is compatible with Android TV and SetTop Boxes, Android Tablets and Android Phones. It's highly optimized game engine delivers fast action, awesome graphics and fluid gameplay, even on older devices. There are multiple game types (eg. One Life, Cooperative and Survivor), difficulty levels and many options and settings for dozens of game play combinations. Cyboid even supports Google Play Achievements and Leaderboards.
Split-screen is supported on all devices, including phones and tablets so you can "cast" Cyboid to your TV and play with (or against!) a friend! It's compatible with game controllers (eg. Amazon, Microsoft, Nyko, Razer, Tronsmart and Xiaomi), keyboards (eg. Anker) and touch devices. There are English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese localizations. In-App purchases are available for add-on items, monsters, levels and weapons.
Believe it or not, Cyboid started it's life as a custom built engine to run Quake on the Game Boy Advance. You can read more about that HERE. Sadly by the time the engine was operational, interest in the Game Boy Advance was starting to dimish. This lead to Randy Linden (the games creator) porting the code to Symbian Phones and iPod Video. Although never released on the Gen 5 iPod, Randy went through the process of using "RockBox as a base to get the debugger operational, then" "modified the iPod Video's code to allow non-signed applications. That's why Cyboid" showed "up in the video under the games section, it wasn't signed by Apple, but the code which validates the manifest (which is signed by Apple) was disabled."
A very grainy video of it in operation is included below!
