Is it just me?
I thought the game was great. Definitely a classic 2-D fighter pilot shooter game you've made. I had a problem with lag though, even when I placed it on low, which is odd. This caused me to die too many times to a point where I just gave up on the Mothership level. Either way, great game.
Some of the best programming ever seen in a flash
To begin, I have to tell you I'm being slightly generous because I didn't have the tenacity to go through the entire game. What I did see, however, was great! The controls were a cross between Space Invaders and Asteroids without the aggrivation. There was also something original thrown in there I couldn't put my finger on. As far as flash games go, this was outstanding. The art and animation seemed pretty lame but your programming skill made up for it. I've never seen any kind of AI really used in a game (not well, anyway) but lo and behold, my friends fly out in front of me and throw a volley of shots without being completely useless! The backgrounds are busy with action and don't make me feel alone in the universe with nothing better to do than fire random scrolling enemies. There's a full scale galactic war going on around me. The perspective was cool but when I saw those two ships fighting close to the camera, they were still under me and because of the perspective, it just looked like a really big pair of ships. However, you put a lot of effort into this and I hope you continue to improve on your already tremendous flash programming skill and creativity. Next time, just try to get some more interesting visuals... It's easier to appreciate.
Wheee*l4g*eeee!!!!
For certain enemies, after I blow them up, the game freezes for a split second. This caused me great headaches in Sa Mantra where my ship would just drive itself into the walls (yes I tried low quality but it's just as bad) and sometimes when there were masses of bullets flying everywhere. Maybe you should work on bandwith conservation.
I applaud your attempt at making a game styled by Tyrian, but I suppose the file size limit for newgrounds just didn't work for you. At least you got the shop part down quite nicely. I don't remember the storyline however, all I remember was that the final level was a bunch of flying fruit (?)
Something that seriously bothered me was the name of the 2nd planet. Is it Liberty or Dune or both?
I adressed it in the new ver 1.2. Check it out after some days.
My Favorite Game Ever!
Hey man, EXCELLENT work! I can't get enough of it! No complaints at all, except that the art could use a bit of work. Gameplay is fantastic! You're a helluva programmer. Can't wait to see your next one.
