The humble iPhone is undoubtedly home to some of the hardest titles around, including bullet-hell shooter Dodonpachi Resurrection and retro gem League of Evil.

Meganoid is another to add to that ever-growing list of tough nuts to crack.

OrangePixel's game is a 2D platformer reminiscent of the aforementioned League of Evil in both its old skool aesthetic and its hair-tearing, fist-eating difficulty curve.

Now, the sadists among you can leap and die over 90 stages in the game's moderately difficult Hero mode, or test your stress glands over 80 levels in the rage-inducing Sarge mode.

There’s also the option to plunge to your doom backwards through the first 50 levels of the game via the new Oreah mode.

With Game Centre support thrown in and a 99c price tag, Meganoid should at least be on your 'considering' list.

As long as you don't mind a healthy bit of pain, that is.
