Bento-Studio informed us that they finished a game made with Blender for the iOS platform called "Space Trooper USA". The game concept has quite a twist making it different than the usual shoot em up games. Besides fighting hordes of invasive aliens the player also has to perform reparative terraforming on the astroid surface dynamically changing the landscape topology the player is on.

A true technology showcase!
With their first title, Bento-Studio pushes the iPhone’s and iPod’s limits with a fun, compelling and addictive shooter.
All the graphics of this game have been made with Blender 2.5
Thanks to:
-The procedural material engine for creating the dynamically destructible asteroid ground layers.
-The powerful and easy to use animation system for giving life to the aliens spiders, the heroic space trooper and all the GUI dyanmics animations(including the title screen).
-The flexible modelling tools to shape all the game element from the particules to the planets.About the game:
This retro arcade shoot’em up is clearly aimed at core gamers. This gametakes place on a fully destructible and reconstructible asteroid that benefits of a unique terraforming technology optimized for mobile devices.
The asteroid can be destroyed and reconstructed by weapons or enemies. The latter have received some special attention, with a dedicated crowd system allowing forstunning AI behaviors. This amazing technology allows an intensive and evolutive game play in which upgrading is your best ally. Scorers will also be able to compete with each other and show theirs skills thanks to the Game Center integration. With its ambitious game featuring high quality graphics, impressive physicsand an amazing orchestral soundtrack, Bento-Studio clearly displays its commitment to offer a unique experience for demanding mobile gamers.
Space Trooper USA is now available on the AppStorefor only $0.99

Did they use "future world music" tunes?"
Go USA GoGo! ROFL!!
Any idea what game engine they're using? I assume Unity3D but .. I get in trouble for assuming things. Shiva? UDK?
@Tadd: I believe it's Unity because their Kongragate website has the Unity player ;)
Bump: very nice gameplay! Those on Windows and MacOSX don't forget to try it at Kongragate ;)
Just picked this up on the Apple Store, great job guys and loads of fun.
Darn... can't wait until "Space Trooper EU" comes out...
