Apollonia was sumbitted to the Neo Spring Coding Compo 2009 (PSP Games, 7th place) and the PSP-Hacks Homebrew Idol 2 competition in 2009.

Changelog

Version 1.8.2

Features:

• Full Italian translation. Thanks, cfs3creative.
• 5 new desert buildings that are used in Instant Action.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug with PSP d-pad flight control. Movement of the joystick nub would cause d-pad flight to stop, as if a button was released. There is now an option in the Options menu that allows flight to be controlled by either the joystick or d-pad (PSP only).
• Fixed an iOS menu bug where going Options -> Controls would fail to open the Controls menu and result in the player being stuck in a menu-less menu screen.
• Fixed bug where, when exiting the tutorial mission with the HUD indicator still in use, leaving and starting a different mission would continue to display the HUD indicator in that mission.
• The French translation of the tutorial mission is now working.

Miscellaneous:

• Added basic localytics statistics gathering for iOS devices (http://www.localytics.com/). Basic statistics are collated only on startup and not during play.

Version 1.8.1

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed bug where credits were being awarded to the player during the main menu battle.
• Fixed crash when trying to end a mission (PSP).

Version 1.8.0

Features:

• Full French translation.
• Partial translation into Italian.
• Really bad partial translation into Spanish (PSP only).

Bug Fixes:

• Potential fix to the freeze/crash caused after the PSP virtual key pad (OSK) is used.
• Reduced the unit count in the main menu background battle to help reduce lag (PSP).

Improvements:

• Added an explosion when a helicopter crashes into the ground.
