A complete rewrite from scratch of the old iOS game "Heavy MACH: Defense"

Heavy MACH: Defense is a game where you need to create an army of machines in order to defend your castle from the enemy castle, in a side-scroller style.

Why?

I was completely stunned when I recently learned that one of my favourite childhood game, Heavy MACH: Defense, had gone missing from the AppStore few years ago.

This decision was most likely taken because of an introduced “bug” in recent iOS versions (newer than iOS 7) which made the game unplayable because of the impossibility to create a new save file. The game seems to have unfortunately been abandonned by the company who developed it, We Made Entertainment, leading to no hope of a new upgrade to fix this.

Many people seem to miss this game as much as I do, and I would like to try recreating it from scratch for Desktop & Android environments (I will not be targetting iOS directly, even though minor modifications to the codebase should make it work there).
