Just like ANY of your games, another perfect piece! It gets hard as hell but that's the trick, right?
Since old-school memories have been brought up by someone else, I just go saying, I would have bought it - just like Vectrix and Vector Rush!

I'm still struggling to get the difficulty curve right in my games: I'm old-school like you say, and that means making it hard. But then casual games tend to be a lot easier these days.
I'm trying to make something for everyone by starting out easy and then getting a lot more difficult - but I don't feel like I've managed to get the balance right yet.
Had a helluva time getting all those medals. The game really picks up after level 10 with all the powerups and enemies filling the screen, my only beef is that the ship moved at half the speed of my mouse, thanks for putting in fullscreen otherwise it would have been insanely frustrating because of the ships speed.
Vibe13 responds:
Yeah I spent most of my time testing it in fullscreen mode. I did double check all the medals are possible (even in window mode), but it was difficult even for me.
I made the first 10 levels pretty easy 'cuz "hey this is a casual game", and some people like it that way!
This game has a great design and power ups and everything, but it is very boring somehow. 3,5
Vibe13 responds:
3.5 seems more than fair to me - so I'm happy with that.
I agree it's lacking that 'something' which might keep you coming back for more, but I'm ok with it being a simple short term distraction.
I gotta admit i hate mouse games, but this is damn fun, O.S., rad.Great job!
Vibe13 responds:
man I love mouse games. But I've noticed that a lot of people seem to prefer keyboard controls these days, I'm not sure why, (I/m guessing maybe 'cuz everyone's using laptops without a proper mouse attached?)
Fun game. Wish you'd make the powerups last longer.
Vibe13 responds:
yeah mabey I shoulda done that: I was constantly experimenting with different durations - I may have made it too short just 'cuz I was getting really good at it by the end I wanted to keep a little challenge for myself - short sighted of me really.
