Add on to Mac bug, and it's great!
Great game. Almost speechless on its good side, i just have an addon to the Mac bug. I'm running Ubuntu Linux and it dosen't work as well, so all linux users watch out!
Music was great, gameplay wasn't so great
Well i liked the fact that it was an arcade shooter combined with music, but the controls are too frustrating. I mean first there's the mouse, sure, but moving ships with mouses proved to be hard, and with many enemies that either have unpredicted patterns of movement or follow you, it's way too hard to jerk your mouse to the right place on time. The arrow keys are an alternative though, but they just make your shots go slightly left or slightly right whenever you're trying to move while shooting, and with stuff that move from in front of you to beside you, it's hard not to get hit while hitting them. But this control problem aside, I guess this would be a good game.
...
... well, to begin with, let me just say that this game just oozes quality, from start to finish! But, since I have exactly 4 critisims to make of the game, I'll start with them:
First off, the enemies types could have been slightly more varied, I only counted 5-6 diferent enemies, so a little more variation would have been nice (specailly the bosses); the fact that the ship changes the direction it faces when it turns was, in my opinion, a bad gameplay decision, it makes aiming the shots too dificult and creates frustation; given the previous problem, the ratio powerup drops could have been slightly higher to compensante this, especially "shot" powerups; finally, there was a slight bug in the bonus levels that allowed me to transerve through the obstacles (i.e., hit detection problems). But that's it. The rest, as you will see, was pretty much perfect.
And to begin with, the coordination between the music and the gameplay was absolutly spot-on perfect, which I imagine is really hard to do, and the choice of music was interesting and well picked. The graphics were great, simple but "clean" and (again), went well with the game. The gameplay, albite not very "new", was well executed and actually had a few original elements and the controls were pretty good (although the mouse was a bit "floaty"). I really liked the idea of the bonus levels too.
All in all, this is a really good game, so big kudos and cheers!
