The best part of this game is that you dont have to keep clicking the mouse button to get the ship to shoot, the game automatically keeps shoooting for you. Other shoot-em-up games where you have to keep clicking away eventually tire your mouse finger out.
All in all i like the game very much. I can’t see why people think this game is too difficult as i’m no hard core gamer by any means and i made it to level 5 the second time that i played it and i played the game on intermediate level.

@#47: I’d hardly call installing an up-to-date version of DirectX from the MS download site ‘fiddling with the OS.’ If your PC doesn’t have a version of DirectX as high as 9.0c, it’s quite likely that you will find a variety of other software won’t work either (many programs which use or manipulate graphics, sound, or video).

I’ve never heard of anyone ever having any computer woes as a result of installing ANY version of DirectX (and I’ve been a PC tech since the original IBM PC came out in 1982). Think of it as an update similar to a Windows Update or a Service Pack if that makes you feel less worried.

There again, if all you ever use is office-type software, fine; but you may well find that your presentation software (PowerPoint or equivalent) may complain as well, especially if you try to use video, sound, or some of the fancier transitions.

First time I’ve felt compelled to post here about one of these games. I loved this one! After first installing I would run it and just get a blank screen with music, but that’s happened before (seems to be related to DirectX games that don’t like my dual monitors). However I was able to open the config file and turn off full screen (Kudos for a plain text config file!) and run it in a window succesfully.

The levels seemed a bit disjointed but the gameplay is spot on. I was worried at first as the dead bodies blocking your shots makes the early game more difficult, in particular the second level seem to be impossible if you die and lose most of your firepower. However once you’ve built up enough firepower to destroy the dead bodies before they block too much of your fire, it smooths out. Having multiple ‘boss’ types that fire streams spaced perfectly to kill all your drones is evil, but effective at upping the difficulty.

The Graviball weapon is most interesting. Once you’ve got a decent number of upgrades on it, it becomes very effective at taking out a ‘lane’ of incoming enemies. In particular, if you start to charge another one before the current one leaves the screen, all the bodies in the current ball will ‘bounce’ up and you can catch them and use them again, which is the only way I could build up a decent sized (15+) ball.

Overall I’d like to see more levels (and maybe a slightly smaller hitbox on the player ship) but this is a great start!

Thans JD , sorry it took several hours to moderate. Once the giveaway had finished I tend to forget to check.
