If you love the series’ vehicular levels then this game is perfect for you since all four missions are completed using Metal Slug and Slug Flyer. No non-vehicular missions here. Here’s a list of features:

• Metal Slug’s beautiful dot pixels perfectly reproduced on the iPhone.
• Simple and intuitive controls available using the Multi-Touch and Accelerometer system.
• For the first time in the Metal Slug series, complete all the missions by handling Metal Slug and Slug Flyer!
• Total of 4 missions to beat. Conquer ground and air to eliminate Morden’s Army.
• By touching the “AVOID” icon, character will evade enemy attacks to become invincible for a fixed period

And here’s a gameplay video so you get a better idea of how it handles:

Metal Slug Touch for iPhone and iPod Touch is now available on the App Store for US$ 4.99.
