this is perfect...
But you should take out the lives... it took forever to get past some parts.. but I just died.. and that was it...
Reviews for "Starfighter"
Great game
I had a lot of fun playing this and it never got boring. The one thing that added a lot of variety and made the game more interesting is how you could buy upgrades and weapons to help you with your missions. Great job! 5/5
pretty good
finished the game, got the codes, some levels are really really really hard. beat that one where you're supposed to use the photon bomb without it, used the stealth and didn't die. maybe you could make it so you can have multiple cheat codes on at once? that'd be neat.
anyways good game, fun, kept me occupied for a good 2 hours. some levels are really hard for a low reward, like the reflective shield ships that you fight, i beat it without dying, but i had to retry like 20 times. playing at the main site is a definate plus.
i learned that the easiest way to beat most of the levels is to power up your laser as soon as possible, and let the enemies come to you since you out range their guns. or run to the objective, or strafe your objective and leave their firing range as soon as possible and let your shields recharge.
AI is pretty good either way, a bit basic, but they have moves that killed me alot. and those damn black hole missiles killed me like 15 times on the 29th level. i just ended up running all the way and not fighting at all.

You get a pretty good reward for destroying the reflective ships. My tip for that level is to keep laser use to a minimum and try to draw the enemy away from your squad ships so that they dont get destroyed. I agreee that this is one of the hardest levels though
Good game, horrible controls
It might just be my computer for some reason, but the controls are awful. I can't hold down fire and turn my spaceship at certain times, and at other times I can't start moving forward while firing. Good game otherwise, the controls just make it hard/tedious to play.
DJStatika responds:
Some keyboards only allow you to hold down 2 keys at once, which is annoying. To counter this, I have put in 'cruise control' (see options), so that you dont have to hold down up to keep moving forward.
not bad
this was a pretty good game, nice graphics, and everything. i dunno, just 9 because i got bored later when i was playing it, but other than that, its a good game.
