BTW In case it matters SP is supposed to be installed on my system.

It appeared to download and install correctly. (despite the Vista ‘may not have installed correctly’ notice) The game play is okay. Considering the genre, I’d rate it about an 8 out of 10. However, no comparison to ‘Mad Cars’ or ‘Alien Shooter’. From my play and comparing to such, I’d rate it about 6 of 10. Vista HP.

This game was not bad if you like scrolling shooters, which I love. However, this game was really short, with only 12 levels. The gameplay was pretty easy, even for beginners. Perhaps this game was originally meant to be a demo of a more complete game that got abandoned? Either way, it was fun, but once again, I beat it in about 25 minutes total, so if you looking for longer gameplay, look elsewhere.

Thanks TNT, I never got around to figuring out the order of power ups nor the pillow one.

Just wanted to add that there are three types of power ups. If you start collecting one, stay with it, or else you have to start at level one on the new one you picked up. I recommend the green power up because it has the widest spread. The purple one only shoots sideways at the highest level. The yellow one that you start with doesn’t shout sideways at all. There are 3 types of missiles. Red, blue and Orange. The orange ones are heat seeking. Go with that if available. It doesn’t seem like you can upgrade your missiles. There is also a “pillow” which restores your shields, a shield which protects you for a bit, and a ship which gives you another life.

Actually relaxing and very enjoyable for me. Only problem is that it is TOO SHORT! Only 12 stages. Whoever heard of a shooter with just 12 stages? I’d pay money for more stages.

Sound during gameplay is not working. I have had no other sound problems with GAOD games before.
Otherwise a basic yet enjoybale game.

Works fine on Windows7 32 bit. Nice little game very basic and only 12mb. And for #13 why would something over 1gb be better would that make for better game play? hmmmmmmm i don’t thinkso

Took a few tries to Install and run , but OK now XPSP3 AMD-64*2. Hard enough for me , won’t see the end, really messed up my desktop, but at least it doesn’t cause a reboot like Ghost in the Sheet did, Really like that one..
