The Brain Trust

Wanna put in your two cents? Brewengine is putting together a group of participants were calling "The Brain Trust". We're currently in the process of putting together the most epic dogfighing game ever seen on a mobile device and we're going to be relying on the brain trust in the coming days for feedback and guidance. Fill out the form after the jump and let us know at what level you would like to be involved.

Its a bird. Its a plane. Its the next big thing in mobile gaming.

Ya I know. I was surprised too but headlines don't lie. We are making a new game. While we're a little short on the details at the moment and things are fully open to change here is what I can tell you.

This is a DOTA style multiplayer dogfighting game primarily targeted to mobile devices.

The game takes place in the 1940s. You are a pilot charged with protecting your forces, dominating the air and destroying the enemy's position. As you acquire more kills you are able to purchase upgrades for yourself and your fellow pilots. You must out fly and out think your opponents to be successful.

Screenshots available after the jump.
