My son (11 y.o) figured some of the stuff out for me (like configuring my ship..hehe), since I don't read directions...and I'm a woman..hehe. It's got nice looking graphics and my son likes it. He plays it more than I do.

downloaded this game when it was on offer, thanks gaotd nice game

anyone have a crack for this game? :D

Goddamit I missed it!

This is just a general comment to the people that complain about games you offer for FREE! Everyone needs to remember that the GOTD team tries to offer games for all ages and all preferences....quite a feat! I don't want children's games....but some people have children...duh!...and want them. You are doing a great job GOTD team....and keep up the great work! (I only like Space Shoot-em-ups...so please restrict your freebies to these! LOL) Thumbs Up Guys and Women!

... I am so not happy that I missed this.
It's not JnG, but it looks darn good.

Neat shooter, very enjoyable, nice big firepower. ENjoyed playing with my son a lot. Thanks!

yet another great game. managed to activate in time in shared doc. on computer, but does anyone know if i should be able to run full version on all users as i can only get demo version?

hey anyone can tell me how to go play level 2.... I keep playing episode 1 to 4 of level 1 repeatedly......

38:
You have to beat the first episode and you'll start over on the second..

please someone tell me how to unlock the other 3episodes do i need to run it on difficulty normal\hard etc? its custom now ,please people help!

Wow. This is definitely one of the coolest games GOTD has ever offered. Much better than those clunky Crusaders of Space games. Definite thumbs up.

games great...

dont anyone know how to read? READ the readme. you click activate first then install program second.

if you guys can read the little file called the readme and stop being lazy you open the activate program first then run the install program.

hey! it worked for me :D
that's rare, so a cause for celebration
and, even better, it was fun!

wait you said that 4episodes? :( ,i get only 1! but custom difficulty settings please tell me how to make +3 more episodes ty :))::)):))

shame that only few levels but owesome game ;)

Impressive!

This is just a trial version? How do you activate it? I've gotten games from here before and got the full version not a trial. What gives?

great game. first boss was easy but 2nd boss man he was almost impossible.

yet another great game thanks gotd.

Looks sweet!

I WORKS WITH VISTA AS WELL

This is a GREAT shooter ! Thanks so much.

Hallo!
Kann mir jemand helfen? Div. der hier angebotenen Spiele funzen bei mir nicht. Es kommt immer eine Fehlermeldung betr. des Grafikkarte. Ich habe eine ge-force fx 5600 und den nvidia treiber 6.14.10.9371 geladen. Alle gekauften Spiele laufen problemlos. An was kann das liegen?
Hat jemand ein Tip??
Danke!

Oh come on, it's about time we get a good space game and it doesn't work..I downloaded it from the web siter but it's not free like here hope it gets fixed before time runs out. It will not install?

I don't know if this situation is unique to this game but the cursor control is very sloppy with "tracers" It also locked up on me when I tried to close out of it to the point where I had to reset my computer. esc, or alt/ctrl/delete did not work. Should I reinstall it?

Best GGOTD yet!

Pros:Good graphics, Music isn't annoying, powerups, automatic game saves, and crazy kamikaze enemies!

Cons:Doesn't seem to let you keep your powerups when you get to a boss. Remember TMNT on Nintendo where to beat Rhinocerous guy you just had to pick Donotello and stand on top of the boxes? Well the first boss was that easy, you just hide behind a rock and after every time it fires, you poke your ship out and fire back. Hopefully future bosses are more difficult!

Overall, great great game. I'll be playing this one through over and over. I hope I remember to download it on my laptop before the day is up.

Dear Friends
compliments and greetings
Thanks for the tons of free software and games
simple three steps
1. Extract
2. Install
3. Activate
rest best of luck

good shootem-up, nice graphics. Thanks!

(works on XP)

Great game! Graphics are really nice. Would prefer game controller/jotstick support, but the mouse works quite well. For those having trouble installing/activiting these games, I have 100% success doing the following -- and I've downloaded 35 or so games:
1. When downloading, I always "save file to desktop".
2. After download, I minimize IE, double click on the folder on the desktop, and run "setup".
3. After installation is complete, I then click on "activate" and run it. If no "activate" button, the game self-activates. I never let it open the game right away -- I might forget to activate.
4. After activating, I delete the downloaded file, find the file in my Programs menu, move it where I want it, and then play 'til my heart's content.

Never a problem.

This is a fantastic game, from the start things are flying into you and you immediately get straight into the action. For a budget game even the bosses are well thought out(make sure you have the right weapon for the second boss). As you go deeper in the game even though the backgrounds seem the same the developers were able to throw in a few cool features.

Even the powerups you get from time to time are great and always seem to come when you really need them. Even the fact that you can customize your ship with a variety of offensive and defensive weapons is unique and different from all the other shooter games i've seen here.

This is a perfect game to port to the psp or ds and people would pay good money for.

For me this is the best game for February and gets my game of the Month award (hey GOTD lets add that feature have us vote and offer the winning app or game for 12 hrs on a day that you choose).

Even if you don't like shooters download this game. Full marks.

Nice game! Nice change of pace too :) I am going to give this one a try. I'm sure that my son will love it. Thanks GOTD

I've been waiting for a good space shooter since I accidentally uninstalled Crusaders of Space while trying remove Crusaders of Space: Open Range which didn't work for me. After a quick download and play, I think this is the one. Thanks again, guys!

This game already looks boring. I´ll skip this one and prepare to play Crusaders of Space and Crusaders of Space: Open Range

absolutly fabulous thankyou!
-10pts givin :)

Nice game, I like all the features.
On a scale from 0-10, I'd give a 8.
Thanks gaotd.

Just a simple clarification - can you give me the order of how to correctly download most of the stuff (working from the boxes that appear when you double-click the zip icon you get when you select Save, rather than Run)?

1. extract (on the left under folder tasks)
2. Readme
3. Setup
4. Activate

And do you continue to work from the original box that opens or do you move to the new box (which has the same Activate, Readme, Setup)?

Maybe it doesn't matter, but sometimes if you do them in order,

1. extract
2. Activate
3. Readme
4. Setup

you miss the "activation" box and maybe that is where some of us are running into trouble. Just a thought...

Thanks, though for what looks like another great game GGOTD team! Keep 'em coming!!

Very good game. Graphisme are very detailed and gameplay very fun like a lot of shoot'em up. The possibility to buy new weapons is a godd thing for this game. The sound effects and the musics are perfect for this style of game.

Good job

This looks good going to try.

Finally a game that isen't about snowy or some other lame character

Just downloaded and played and all I can say is WOW. Great game. Thank you GOTD for making fun games like this available.I'm not usually a big game player, but for a shooter game, this is one of the most enjoyable I've ever played. Out of a 10 point system, I give it a 9.5.

anyone know if this works with Vista?

Thx its cool!

Brilliant game. Thank you very much GGAotD team and Gladiators software. I love these space shooters. No problems installing, and runs really smoothly.

Great game. You can set yourself how much % a hit damages your ship, the ships of your enenmy etc. So you can find out what's your own suitable difficulty. That's a great option! So in a scale from 0-10 I give the program 9 points.

grrrr this game will not work for me grrrr tried twice only get black screen and just the music was excited to try it to

First to post!Great Game!It's fantastic!
