Tilt to Live, my absolute favourite accelerometer-based action game, has just received a major update. The two new game modes, Gauntlet and Code Red, do a fantastic job of mixing the gameplay up. Code Red is the equivalent of Insane Mode for Minigore — it does away with all of the build-up in normal mode and just throws hundreds upon hundreds of red dots at you as soon as you start the game.

The second mode, Gauntlet, is even tougher: there are no power-ups and no ways to kill the formations of enemies coming at you. All you do is dodge. To make matters worse, your life is now on a timer, and the power-ups that refill your health are usually located inside particularly nasty death traps. There’s a new achievement to survive four minutes in Gauntlet mode. I don’t even last one.

All told, I think these two new game modes will end up adding hours of play to this great little action title, and I’m extremely happy with how this update turned out.
