I need people to report their FPS they're getting on this game.

It runs really slow on my browser, and I'm trying to figure out if its just me. And when I say slow, I mean like <20 fps slow. I'm not stupid and I know the game will run slower in the browser, but I still need people to tell me what it is so I should know if I have to optimize more.

You can shoot with X and the FPS number is in the lower left hand corner.

Question: Are the missiles upposed to fire backwards?

Perhaps they're cowardly missiles. Runing from the enemy like that.

Yes. They're individuals too and they can be cowards if they want to :(

Of course, you'll be able to pick different types of missle fire in the full game.

Clocking in from 24-27 fps, usually at 25.

I really like how this game works.

How long does it stay near 17 o.o?

And thanks for all the fps and comments. I'll see if I can optimize it a bit more.

In the full version, you'll probably have choice of around 6-7 ships, each unique, along with 6 different missile patterns.

[Pyromaniac]

I get 27-30 and it runs fine.

It took me a while to realize you could just ram the enemy.

Also, I get 27 average FPS

Yeah, one shot from an enemy should kiill you.
To make it more fair for the big ships, they'll start off with a 1 hit shield because they'll be moving slow. I have about 4 ships done already, but before I put them in I want to get the first level of the game done.

Runs pretty smooth on my comp.

[AIDSMcGuff]

I got 25 to 27. Also, this game almost reminds me of gradius. It just needs more weapons and stuff. But I loved that game.

Which is the reason its called gradium :P

I'll never be able to recreate the gradius feel, so I stole the whole customizable element from it :( I have a lot of weapons made, there's just no way to get to them.

It's running at 25 for me. So I guess it's just you. :/

Same here. Nice scripting with the red-blobs moving towards the ship ^^, the game looks promising!

[Jindo]

24-28

looks awesome so far :D!

[Incognitus]

It started off as 23-27 frames per second, but this increased to about 30-35 frames per second when the action kicked in.

[crushy]

30 to 33 on myne

[El-Presidente]

I like, it's really nice. Just work on the text and make more badguys. I also don't think that there is any way that you can die. Work on it and it'll do well.

[Re2deemer]

Never went below 31, MAX 33

Yeah, I'm working on more enemies right now :P. And there is no way you can die yet.
