Apollonia was sumbitted to the Neo Spring Coding Compo 2009 (PSP Games, 7th place) and the PSP-Hacks Homebrew Idol 2 competition in 2009.

Changelog
Version 1.8.2
Features:
- Full Italian translation. Thanks, cfs3creative.
- 5 new desert buildings that are used in Instant Action.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug with PSP d-pad flight control. Movement of the joystick nub would cause d-pad flight to stop, as if a button was released. There is now an option in the Options menu that allows flight to be controlled by either the joystick or d-pad (PSP only).
- Fixed an iOS menu bug where going Options -> Controls would fail to open the Controls menu and result in the player being stuck in a menu-less menu screen.
- Fixed bug where, when exiting the tutorial mission with the HUD indicator still in use, leaving and starting a different mission would continue to display the HUD indicator in that mission.
- The French translation of the tutorial mission is now working.
Miscellaneous:
- Added basic localytics statistics gathering for iOS devices (http://www.localytics.com/). Basic statistics are collated only on startup and not during play.
Version 1.8.1
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed bug where credits were being awarded to the player during the main menu battle.
- Fixed crash when trying to end a mission (PSP).
Version 1.8.0
Features:
- Full French translation.
- Partial translation into Italian.
- Really bad partial translation into Spanish (PSP only).
Bug Fixes:
- Potential fix to the freeze/crash caused after the PSP virtual key pad (OSK) is used.
- Reduced the unit count in the main menu background battle to help reduce lag (PSP).
Improvements:
- Added an explosion when a helicopter crashes into the ground.
