No TeamHack, but we participated in TINS this year, in which we did pretty well with our entry BALLZ.

A new version of Dr. Madness is on it's way, by the way. We've made it a bit easier.

[EDIT] Oh, and thanks for DUMB, by the way. It's a very neat little library.

Nice game. A space-shooter upside down, that's what I call "reverse stereotype".

There is only one thing I'm curious about: where is the evil protagonist? This bam bam looks rather nice. And when he says "Thanks, cuddles" (he actually says "Thank you" to a fluffy little bunny) he doesn't seem very evil to me.
EDIT: Ok, nevermind.

What's also weird is that I can't just hold the left mouse button. I don't think that's a bug, but my finger already starts to hurt..

Our index fingers look like Popeye's arms after developing this game.

There are only 10 levels, so I think it's okay that the game gets harder around level 5. But perhaps we should move level 5 closer to the end. When I play I often tend to forget to use my Mega Blasts, they are very helpful in level 5.

Very nice game, although the index-finger syndrome is of course a problem.
Probably my favourite so far.

For those who want to play the game without getting RSI:

Open player.cpp, comment out line 304 and add "mShotBurstCounter = 0;" after line 309. It should look like this:

  // Shooting
  if (level->isFirePressed())
  {
    if (mShotReleased)
    {
      mShotPressed = true;
      //mShotReleased = false;
    }
  }
  else
  {
    mShotReleased = true;
    mShotBurstCounter = 0;
  }

I can upload a MSVC binary of this if anyone wants it.

Awesome!!

Wow! Out of all the speedhack '07 entries I've played, this is the first one._{futurama reference}

Yes. Of course we reused some code, but not very much (that is if you exclude Guichan and Dumb).

this is the best game for speed hack in my opinion =)

very polished, and the retro dialogs is a plus =) (remembers me r-type)
