Sewer Bros is the actual game that you learn how to create when following the tutorial instructions in the
Learn Sprite Kit for iOS Game Development book by Leland Long, published by Apress.
In the game you have been given the task of clearing the sewers from the vermin that are wandering around causing havoc. Not wanting to touch them with your hands you hit them from underneath the platforms they are running along to knock them unconscious, then go up and kick them off the ledge and into the water for points. Occasionally coins are dropped from civilians topside and so you can collect them for bonus points if youre quick enough.
The book shows you how to build this game step-by-step. With Learn Sprite Kit for iOS Game Development, youll discover how easy it is to create 2D games using the new Sprite Kit framework. Youll find how simple it is to create a scene, add animated sprites, incorporate edges, play sound effects, and create animated particles for special effects. Youll also use touch events to control your sprites, implement the built-in physics engine, handle sprite collisions and contacts, and much more.

* How to add animated sprites to your game scene
* Using TouchEvents to have your sprite react to touch input
* How to apply realistic physics to your game scene and characters
