It's better, it's harder, it has sound and more boss. Download it. [win32, installer] You will love it.

(Alternate download [win32, zip] -- same content, but a zip)

And how do I reproduce that?

I think I've fixed this bug now. Try again.

I'm on linux so I can't try it now but....

DUDE!!!! I love this game, YOU should make this into an iPhone game ==> PROFIT!!!!

Hell, I'll do the coding if you do the graphics and we can split the profit...

Played it some more. Awesome game The controls still bug me a bit (repair and destroy are a bit too close to each other btw), but whatever

One thing I would have liked is a defensive structure of some kind... maybe a shield (which protects nearby turrets) or a point-defence laser (which shoots at incoming projectiles) or something. Something to make it less "most DPS for money" and more tactical.

I love this game! It's good to see it again. I think point defense a/o shield would be awesome.

The bullets make lasers die sooooo fast...the only things I could afford to keep were a pair of missile turrets on either side.

edit: WHAT IS WITH THESE GIANT BOUNCING RED BALLS OF DOOM I CAN'T KILL THEM

edit2: I need a way to see all health bars.

YAY ! Another release !
I was thinking you will never touch it again, X-G :-)

I'll try it when I'll have some free time today :-) :-) ( BTW I am so happy !! :-)

Excellent game and great graphics, I never knew you had a game in you.

One thing I found would be of benefit is to see the status of my weapons just by hovering over them rather than having to click on then, or something similar.

I got up to wave 19. Good game, its a good update to the old game. Good graphics. And the sound is awesome too, I love the retro feel it gives you.

But now, to the ranting!
One thing that bothered me was that life bars weren't always displayed. I had to constantly click on each gun to see if it needs repairing. The repairing didn't bother me, the clicking did.

Another thing, the red ball, if it explodes on the ground it hurts your life. Its acceptable if the aliens hurt you when they come to the ground, but the red ball? I can't even hurt it! What am I supposed to do, put turrets all over the ground to stop it? That would cost me even more for repairing.

Well, those are about the only two things that bothered me. Great game!

I am astonished that some people who are well known allegroits were not aware of the first release of that game.

:-( I got frozen each time before level 10.

Even gdb isn't telling me anything, what makes me think it's not a memory bug. More an implementation bug.

X-G, can you provide us some debug release, with some trace enabled ?

After level 20 I got bored as it just repeats the same gameplay over again. More weapons and bosses would be nice.

And there's an annoying pixel in the wrong place of the space invader when it opens its legs

You can place the cheapo* $140 turret right before the ball hits the ground, with no intention of repairing or upgrading the turret (you can demolish it after the wave is over to get some money back).

Another tactic is to build up cheapo* lasers in the middle with full upgrades by the time of the boss wave. The boss mainly floats in the middle, so this will kill him fast.

I think you should disregard my comment. I've played through several times without it freezing. I've always had this problem with allegro games freezing randomly for no reason (and I've started threads trying to figure out why this occurs).

*Guess I've dubbed it the "cheapo" laser.
