Super Ox Wars

Super Ox Wars is a vertically scrolling shooter for iOS developed by Jeff Minter and Ivan Zorzin of Llamasoft and published via the App Store in 2012.

[2] It is the Minotaur Project game representing the Namco Galaga platform.

The ship fires constantly (although iCade users can disable this to get an experience more akin to an actual arcade machine).

The colour of the player's ship and bullets, and an indicator display of two oxen, one red, one blue indicate to what extent the player is invested in either Caprichoso (blue) or Garantido (red).

In common with other Llamasoft games Super Ox Wars saves a player's best achievement at the end of each level, allowing them to resume at their previous best score and number of lives (number of lives taking precedence over score).

The player's ship at bottom is left firing blue Caprichoso stars. A Garantido Ox turret waits further up the screen.
