About Garden of Coloured Lights: This is my entry to the www.shmup-dev.com Options competition. It's a musical shoot-em-up influenced by rRootage, Radiant Silvergun and Rez.

Among other things it makes extensive use of Allegro's 8-bit transparency and palette shifting functions. It also uses the .wav sound functions to play music.

Version 1.01 is the final competition version. Version 1.02 is the final competition version plus a couple of minor fixes and rebalancings. Let me know what you think of it!

About the developer: Not much to put here. Writing games is fun. I don't have a proper website at the moment, so click on the Depot link above to see my Allegro games.

• 10This game is absolutely amazing! You have done an outstanding job. The music, the gameplay, the player customization...all piece very well together. At first it has a slight learning curve but its easy to get the hang of it after a while. Hell, ive spent an average of 15 hours playing this <b>...</b>

• 9This game is really fun! I love the graphics and sound effects. I've only reached level 2 twice after playing for hours, so I'd say it's a little difficult. Great game though!

• 7I'm not very good at the game yet, but it's awesome. Only problem so far: It hangs at least once every time I try to reconfigure the controls for the keyboard.
