Crashes with invalid operation exception. A short debugging attempt (without sources, good luck, Tellus :P) insinuated the music files were a problem.

Sounds like you need XNA or .Net 4.0.

sorry only web or mac for me :(

billknye: Found the problem, and another requirement you can add to the list :)

You need to have Windows Media Player installed as well. Being hateful of the problem I removed it from my system. The Exceptions couldn't quite handle it (pun intended).

I liked the control scheme, but it was very hard to get used to (strafing when it would move your chopper in the opposite direction at times, up at others, that kind of thing). Perhaps if the camera rotated with the chopper it would be easier?

TellusE, had no idea about the media player part, must be some requirement of XNA, thanks!

Thanks for the feedback on the camera, something I will keep in mind for the future =)

Very fun to play yet so difficult. Controls are quite tricky and the enemies are just relentless, one mistake and you're dead. But it's quite enjoyable. Well done!

Not for the faint of heart.

I've got XNA and .Net but it still crashes when I try and launch it.

Not starting with any weapons makes it really hard. Took several attempts to pick up the first guy. Enemies killing you before you even see them is frustrating. The controls were hard to get used to which didn't help.

grunchmonkey: Double check the version of XNA you have and also you need windows media player installed it seems.

Very cool ! I love the tension it creates, when a pilot runs to you while you're getting shot at :p
