In a world of increasingly volatile theft countermeasures, Fight Back represents an interesting development for gaming. It represents the possibility of future game creation being viewed as a service, rather than games being viewed as information property. Fight Back is a proof of concept for this new view, presenting the idea that because gaming is a media, the people will always want more and more. Additionally, being open has the benefit of increasing the amount of developer information publicly available, which in turn improves the techniques of the game developer community as a whole.

Finity Flight: Fight Back

Finity Flight: Fight Back takes place shortly after the events of the original Finity Flight. All alone, you’ve repelled the invaders of earth, but instead of simply waiting for them to come back in greater numbers, you are taking the fight to their home turf.

Fight Back takes place in space, and adds to the original game with 15 new levels, a four new boss levels, four new enemy variations, and new unlockables.

Finity Flight: Fight Back is now available for $11.99 on MirthKit.
