26/8/2006: Update - New version. Now also has WASD controls, and for people who cant find the return key, you can now also press E.

Note: People complaining about the aiming - This is intentional and part of the game. Different weapons have different shooting accuracy, if you want to shoot accurately from distance, use a rifle, otherwise get closer! Its the same code for the alien fire as yours, so they dont get any unfair advantage as far as shooting accuracy goes.

Do battle against an alien race on distant moons in this futuristic side scrolling shooter. 12 randomly generated moons, with 36 randomly generated levels.
Different everytime you play it.

Please note that this game is not supposed to be a frantic flying through the air blast em up, its more tactical than that and if you use those tactics, you wont get very far. Use the terrain as cover and creep up on your enemy where possible.

Also note that this game was originally designed to be impossible to complete. It is very hard to finish but I know 2 people that have done it, so stick at it!

Hope you enjoy...

"well"

Great idea, but it goes to slow and also, the accuracy might have been intentional, but if it gets so many complaints, it's not good gameplay. You deserve an advantage over your enemies, because you're alone and they're with hundreds.

"This is one poor game."

date: September 10, 2009

Firstly, I found the evironment was tacky and it doesn't look professionally-designed.
Secondly, you either get the aiming sorted out or you're just gonna get more complaints because it's so infuriating!
Thirdly, the sound effects were a little poor; and the fact that there was no music didn't help to create any sort of atmosphere.
Finally, the grav-suit runs out too fast.

My conclusion is that this game needs some work and if you don't at least sort out the bloody aiming then....well...it'll continue to annoy people!

"Apparantly..."

date: September 8, 2009

Aiming is for pussies...
Was it meant to be so way of track? Or was is just a flaw of the grand design?

Really like the gameplay... grav suit is rather interesting, albeit upgrades would have been cool.

Picking up the occasional gun, and one hitting the guys is fun... But gets old fast.
What also irked me was the fact the grav suit could not be negated. I was flying mid-jump, and saw bullets flying all over, if it were possible to negate the grav suit mid jump, the gameplay would immensly improve seeing as you'd be able to dodge the line of fire.

Not that it would be necessary, seeing as your health goes back to 100 every 'level'...
