***As someone in the reviews suggested (thanks!), I added pause support. I was afraid it'd put me over the 30Kb mark, but lo and behold, just barely made it.***
***I guess some people are missin' the point... of course this isn't an original concept for a game, I've got a game just like it on my 2600. What is original is it's filesize (<30Kb... smaller than your average JPG). But, trash it if you must. I only spent a nite on it :)***
Well, I was gonna stay up all night long and work on Spindle 2, but gotta totally sidetracked with making this... a fast-paced space shooter that you can tuck into a preload sequence, complete with some cheesey sounds. As 99K proved, good flash don't gotta be big. And even that one was a mammoth in comparison.
Soon I plan to have a website full of Flash game tutorials, where I'll pour over every inch of this script in detail, as well as keep a log of programming Spindle and whatever else I'm doing.
Until then, dig it small!!
**I almost forgot! Late last night, unclemike put the idea of a tiny preloader space shooter in my head. Today, it is finished. Thanks for presenting the challenge to begin with!**
Cool game
Cool game, looks really welldone, abit laggy though, and the scrolling seems abit slow, but it was fun seems like the gameplay was notbad and more on the easy side I got a kick out of this I even had a chuckle or two out of it all and I guess thats the idea still seems to lag though

AB: 30K Starfighter is a shooter flash. Graphics have that outer space theme. Gameplay was very easy for me. There was nothing exciting to help this game stand out from all the other outer space games.
really easy but very wellmade and gr8 file size
"ive played all your games their gr8"
TOO easy.
Not bad, i guess, but ive seenhundreds of games just like this one, and they just get boring.
Well...
I have to agree with kain, it's really easy. I got to about 2 million, but stopped because my wrist was hurting. All around, a good a game not even considering file size.
