• 7I would love to see this one as a full length game. As-is it is good for a quick game. It controls well enough and the action can get pretty intense when the orks spot you. My only complaint is the scrolling is kind of jerky. Nice work.

I am a tester for a mobile phone software development company. I would like to write games for a living. For now I just write games for fun. I know how to write 3d games and graphics. However I love the speed at which and allegro game can go from idea to finished product. Also working with sprites is so much easier than 3d models. In addition to the programming side of game creation I am a decent artist. Some of my non game work can be seen on elfwood: http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/ s/a/saunders/saunders.html My hobbies outside of programing are: D&D, Fencing (foil), 2 string kites, and telling my girlfriend how great she is.
