UPDATE: Ethan sent me a copy of the full game and yes, the bugs I mentioned are now gone with v1.1.2. Check for updates within your device via the App Store application or from within iTunes itself. If you haven’t moved to the full game, follow the links in this post to do so, now. And that’s an order, soldier! Full review follows.

Enter iShoot and iShoot Lite, tank battle games by Ethan Nicolas. Both games are currently on the helm of the App Store’s Top Free and Top Paid lists. If my memory serves me well (UPDATE: I was right, check out this post over at O’Reilly and this post over at Touch Arcade), this is the first time that an app managed to stay on top of both lists. I guess it’s not an easy feat, but Ethan Nicholas did it.

I downloaded a copy of iShoot Lite to find out what the game is all about, and why people are buying this game in truckloads. I can safely say that the full game is well worth the entry fee of $2.99.
