What's New:
1.2
New features!
- Background pictures are now high-quality JPEGs, instead of those horribly huge bitmaps....saves over six megabytes of hard drive space. (sadly, the zip file is reduced by only 850k)
- Increased framecap from 30 fps to 45 fps
- Decreased the ship rotation interval from 9 degrees per keypress to 5 degrees per keypress. You can aim more precisely now.
- Program is no longer static-linked, so alleg40.dll is required (it is included in the zip though.)

Public Opinion Overall Rating: 8.0 8A really nice game with nice music.
I don't like the controls (firebutton on down key), so why don't you let the player choose the keys?
I think the ship rotates too fast.
It's hard to aim the enemy.
Maybe you can accelerate the rotation (the longer you hold the key, the faster the rotation).
It would be nice, if the game supported up to 4 players, too.
If I spend a little time in the "start game screen" where I can choose my player name, it becomes black. (bug?)
I use WindowsXP 8Nice, but it's really hard to hit your opponent. The particles are neet. And please, don't use BMPs for your backgrounds. Consider JPGAlleg and JPEGs instead, you'll save yourself 4mb and us several minutes of download ;).
