You mean "resting" or that 2xSaI? I hope the file is updated now - downloading it again...

About the resting-part ... and no, not updated yet. I have a bunch of small stuff to fix before we'll release an .3 version.

Um, well ok. At last I was able to beat that game, though the boss was really hard. I still must say that it's a bit frustrating to die after one hit (that's why Tubular Worlds were so hard), but after recognizing that the hitbox is small I learned to strafe a bit more.

And gee it's cool, I mean all those elements you implemented seem to bring fresh water upon arcade shooters. You need to strafe not only shoot and act as a printer. Really great. Still I'm dying too often :'(

Oh by the way, you made me remeber Jets n Guns ;)

Yeeaeah Jets'n'Guns is great :). Haven't played it for a long time though ... I heard something about a GOLD-version a while ago at a shmup forum though ...

I like the visual style in this more than Jets n Guns.

Well me too, but playing Jets n Guns was also fun. Can't wait for the full version.

Very nice, but way too hard for me.

So anyway, what's everyone's highscore? Mine's 184,275 at the moment. :(

Ouch, how did you do that? ???

oh.. and music being annoying?? Come on! It's freaking great :). But if you don't like it, simply turn it off in the settings menu.

The music wasn't bad, it just seemed to repeat itself to much. Like it only had 2 patterns in it or something. Did you write it yourself? Maybe you can find some neat stuff on modarchive.

Oh, shut up, the music was wicked awesome. And original.

As for my score, it was simple: I tried not to die so much. The longer you stay alive, the higher your score multiplier.

But to die and still have some credits is shameful (to paraphrase 23's sig ;) ), because you'll lose the score you've accumulated.

Here's my personal highscore ... A guy at a pixel-forum have beaten it by a few points though ...

By the way, is it just me, or does Choke suck? It's just too slow and there aren't really any compensating factors, are there?

She's a bit too slow at the moment, however she does quite a lot more damage at shot level 4. However both ships have been speeded up in the .3-version ... which will be uploaded any day now.

Hey, any chance of analog stick support? My gamepad is a Dualshock, and I use the analog stick for control... I like it better than the D-pad. But FM treats it like a D-pad (and no surprise), and I was just wondering if that was possible?

Style remind me of UN Squadron meets Metal Slug from the screenshots. :)

The analog stick support is certainly possible in Allegro, if fsDoom has time to add it.

I found possible bug. When I die and am questioned about continuing and hit esc, the game crashes.

I suppose I could add it ... but I'm not sure that I want to. The game should not be made easier* for some people just cause they happen to have an analogue stick at home. I'll post it on our development forum and ask the other guys and see how they see this matter. Thanks for the idea though.

  • and by easier I mean .. hmm no easier is a bad word, but it will make the controlling of the ship totally different. It will not be the same "game experience".

I can't replicate this error.

Meh. It looks like my 12,080 score was a fluke. I'm back to about 4,000 again.

I have something around 40k.

OICW: I've managed to recreate it, and fix it. It was very obvious once I was able to see the code :)

Thanks a lot! I think 0.3 demo is closer than we think.

35325 using Choke. The damage factor is a big plus, actually.
The game is very nice, I just wish you could choose which stick to use for movement. ;)
