It's saying, "Not a valid Win32 application", is this Win64 or something?

algidplasma 2013-04-29 05:03

Sorry about that I forgot I developed with Love2D x64 so it should be fixed now.

It's quite difficult to see the player, but if you can it's fun.

The Linux download is a zip file containing lua scripts... not sure what I'm supposed to do with this

The sounds are too faint, but the graphics are good, the speed incredible and I love the vignette. You've put quite some work into the graphics and I fear not everyone will recognize that.

and highfive for love2d :D

@wrongcoder to run a .love file you need to get love2d from love2d.org and select your os and run Love2d with the downloaded love file.

Love the graphics.

First off, I should say I'm biased - I like this because of the similarity to my game! Unfortunately, I'm terrible at this. I only got up to 750 points... couldn't really see the projectiles all that well. Really like the designs and the gameplay though.

Fun!

Very good game.

I am horrible at this game but I should hold my lack of coordination against you. Great job. Loved the visual style.

There were sounds? I didn't hear anything. Though Jean Michael Jarre works wonders as background music for this game!

Slick looking, works great, loved it! If you are planning to expand on this, consider adding some sort of life/shield mechanic. Death comes pretty sudden. Slowing time like in Swift/Stich could also work!

Was fun while i could play, the colors hurt my eyes.

It looks great! The health bars look a bit out of place, they might have worked better as rings or something.

Very cool game :) I like the graphics, though the ship is a bit tiny, but I was able to play. Also, it's a bit difficult, but it's acting more like a fun element than annoying.

I love the look of the graphics. Great game.

The graphics is cool!

mscottmcbee 2013-05-01 01:38

The sound was very quiet and the player's ship seemed especially tiny to me. The speed at which everything was occurring made me feel less like I was dodging with my own skill, and more like if I moved enough chances were I wouldn't get hit.

Very clean work! Fun to play and difficult. Good job

catman 2013-05-07 07:30

Nice! It's hard to see all the bullets, tho, due to the so slim lines you used to create them. And the game made me realize how dirty my screen is! :)

ernyz 2013-05-10 08:49

Graphics were barely visible (eyes got tired quickly, thats the only reason I stopped playing sooner than I wanted to), although they looked like 3d, but I didnt have those red-blue glasses to test the graphics. Sounds were almost impossible to hear. Despite that, looks like fun shooter :)

arrogant-gamer 2013-05-11 04:53

Because the bad-guys don't predict your movements, it was easy enough to just fly in a circle shooting. I liked the unintuitive notion of always shooting the center. Looked like it would have been better with 3D shades :)
