Read moreIkaroids In-Game Avatars Complete!
As we’re unable to use the XBox Live automatically generated 3d avatars we had in place for the XBox 360 version of Ikaroids, it was a good excuse to crank out a bunch of anime-esque static avatars that will be appearing in our upcoming iPad/iPhone version of Ikaroids HD.
