The awesome flash game Steambirds is officially getting a second iOS version next month as Steambirds: Survival makes its way to the App Store.

Steambirds is like the amazing iOS spawn of Flight Control and Frozen Synapse. The former is, of course, the very well-known international iOS hit that tasks players with trying to land airplanes with the touch screen. The latter is a less-known PC and Mac title that has become an underground sensation in recent months.

In Frozen Synapse, players control a team of soldiers in a battle that takes place in short five-second increments. You have to plan out your strategy for the next five seconds and give your soldiers orders to carry out. It's turn-based action gaming, essentially. Steambirds carries the same idea. You don't control the aircraft directly. You give them an order and they carry it out.

Steambirds: Survival will expand on the series with all-new aircraft and missions, and is currently slated for release in "early October." The launch trailer is available below.
