It won't run. When it says "Click to start", nothing happens.

albertelwin 2013-08-26 04:03

doesn't work on some graphics card, but takes a minute or two to load up anyway :)

Neat game. Reminds me of playing Star Fox and a bit of Battletoads.

albertelwin 2013-08-26 04:06

thanks was inspired by Star Fox, had a much more complete game in mind when I started out but had some set backs :( there's always next time!

baknik 2013-08-26 04:14

Loved the ground animation.

parappayo 2013-08-26 04:15

Definitely like Star Fox training mode. :)

andrio 2013-08-26 04:17

I like the crazy optical illusion the ground makes when you're speeding really fast. Looks nice, although it's a really basic concept. I wanted a bit more of a challenge.

bonsairobo 2013-08-26 04:17

I get that there's a missing plugin. Not sure what it is (x-nacl?).

ix 2013-08-26 04:18

Very nice looking!

albertelwin 2013-08-26 04:21

x-nacl is Native Client, it's built into Chrome so not sure why it's saying it's missing :( Windows/OSX/Linux?

otresnjak 2013-08-26 04:49

Looks really nice.

wbobeirne 2013-08-26 05:09

Great looking game, but definitely more tech demo than game.

archaeometrician 2013-08-26 05:10

Took few seconds to load, remind me of Star Fox too ! Nice idea to use the NativeClient/OpenGLES.

lordjosephdeburg 2013-08-26 15:39

When I 'click to start' mouse disappears but game wont run

shohs 2013-08-26 17:36

This looks interesting. It doesn't run very well on my computer, but my computer doesn't have a lot of graphics power. The game itself is pretty simple, but not too bad.

smudgedcat 2013-08-26 18:00

It ran quite slowly on my PC but it does look quite pretty.

skywing 2013-08-26 20:36

Very nice aesthetic, it can get pretty trippy at times. Decent game overall.

shadowfire3800 2013-08-27 02:27

I would suggest to fix the lag and have faster movement.

lizengland 2013-08-27 02:31

Nifty - I really start losing perspective of how fast I'm going after a while, but I like the effect. Shaders are like black magic to me - I have no understanding of how they work, just that they do cool things.

albertelwin 2013-08-27 02:34

Only possible way to fix the lag is to buy a better graphics card I'm afraid :(

skye 2013-08-27 04:13

This game was a pretty neat idea. This version definitely needs some work but if you work on this for a larger project, I can see this having a lot of potential.

albertelwin 2013-08-27 04:16

Thanks :) With such a short amount of time I had to make a lot of trade-offs with the gameplay, hopefully I'll get to come back to it sometime and make something more complete!

designatius 2013-08-27 23:09

Just to give you feedback, it worked super slow on my Mac (it could be probably my computer, but just in case...). Anyway love the Starwing kind of game and it looks really promising. Good entry!

designernap 2013-08-28 18:06

Nice entry and I have to say, my first google chrome game ever! :) nice work

obscuremoon 2013-08-29 15:40

Didn't realise I was playing at the start, but I soon figured it out :)

I loved the way the ground blocks changed to black when you die :) very nice

ciaran54 2013-08-29 15:43

I really really liked the graphics. the pulsating ground, and the shadows and changing colour really made the game come alive :D But the gameplay was a bit bland imo, I found the ship moved so slowly it was difficult to hit or avoid gates by choice :/

aldian 2013-08-29 16:29

Its a very cool concept, graphics are nice and i had a good 5 minutes playing thsi :D

gsmproductions 2013-08-29 16:31

Nice and trippy, but more of a technical feat than a really engaging game in my opinion. The visuals were pretty neat though, and innovative rendering technique!

berkano 2013-08-29 17:14

Nice idea. Impressed with the delivery as a Chrom app :-)

soerensen3 2013-08-29 17:28

"I get that there's a missing plugin. Not sure what it is (x-nacl?)."

I get the same error. I use comodo which is a special version of chrome. I'm on windows 7.

hunlyxxod 2013-08-29 17:32

Inspired by IƱigo Quilez?
Beautiful work, there are some artifacts but your renderer it's impressive nonetheless.

albertelwin 2013-08-29 17:33

Ahh, I assume comodo doesn't have Native Client, try installing a normal version of Chrome and it should work :)

albertelwin 2013-08-29 17:34

Sure is! He pioneered the ray marching technique which I'm using for my renderer :)

lokarunith 2013-08-30 00:22

The animation is very well done and runs very smoothly but there is not much gameplay.

kirbytails7 2013-09-07 06:11

My graphics card can't quite keep up. It looks pretty cool, though.

myachin 2013-09-13 05:26

cant start((
