Insurgent Games has released its latest iPhone/iPod Touch title - teh internets – Attack of the Memes, a shmup that takes place in a meme-filled, Matrix-esque version of cyberspace. Players pilot a ROFLcopter, collecting LOLcats and feeding the trolls (cheezburgers, natch). Obstacles to be avoided include pop-up ads, firewalls, and viruses, while lollerskates grant extra lives. The game has nine different online leaderboards (via OpenFeint) and 23 different unlockable achievements. Flying around through all of the classic internet memes sounds pretty promising, but I imagine it could get old quick. Still, if you’re looking for some cheap lulz, hit up the gallery after the break, and know that teh internets is available now from the App Store for $1.99.

iPhone Brings the lulz: teh internets- Attack of the Memes Released Today!

November 24, 2009

Always wanted to pilot a ROFLcopter through the internet, dodging pop-up windows, collecting lolcats and feeding angry trolls cheezburgers? Well, now you must! For memes are attacking in this newly released action/arcade (cyber)space-shooter for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Insurgent Games’ third iPhone game to date, teh internets- Attack of the Memes is now available in the App Store for $1.99. Sure to attract those who are fans of internet culture, as well as any action game enthusiast, this tongue-in-cheek app is chock full of lollerskaters, viruses, firewalls, and other denizens of the web. Players can compete for high scores on nine global leaderboards, such as most lolcats collected, total cheezburgerz eaten, and most time wasted. There are also a huge amount of hilarious achievements to unlock such as “kittens, inspired by kittens” and, “it’s peanut butter jelly time.”

When asked to comment on their new release Crystal Mayer, co-founder of Insurgent Games said simply, “OMG! This game is the awesome sauce!” When asked to clarify she exclaimed, “kthxbye!” and allegedly melted into a puddle of what can only be described as ones and zeros.

• OpenFeint, a social gaming network for the iPhone and iPod Touch
• Adorable lolcats for score, and lollerskaters for extra lives
• Obnoxious pop-up windows, viruses, and firewalls
• Average, ruthless, and flaming trolls
