Tried it out! Got to 208 without actually using the mouse because... Well, I'm on a laptop and it doesn't play nicely with trying to use both the mouse and keyboard at the same time...
I sort of just went 'Dolphin' on it and bounced a bomb off my nose for a few moments before strafing to let it hit the people behind me.
It was funny to play around and find out how to maneuver best, so the enemies will be near your bombs, but the gameplay got very dull after a while.
The supplied options are not bad. A volume slider is always good (didn't have time to include one in my game).
I can't start the game. Seems like LWJGL can't find the natives. Stacktrace: http://pastebin.com/XZb8wTFm
Thanks for the feedback! @uprightpath, @atombrot, yeah the the enemies are a bit stupid, should have implemented a better AI so they would actually move around and surround the player (and I still had time for that), I was just being lazy :P
@Flam, seems like the problem is with paulscode sound system, it wants to load natives from the mac folder which doesn't exist (mac natives are in the macosx folder)... it should be an easy fix.
Updated, just renamed the "macosx" folder to "mac". If you still have it downloaded you can do the same.
Background gave me a headache after a while, but the gameplay itself was fun.
Nice game, could do with sounds
Thank you for trying our game. Now I came to try yours. It's nice :D. I really liked the explosions. It's really cool that you made your own engine. Congratulations. :D
Thanks :)
Nice game and engine you got there! It worked like a charm. Action from start to end, which I like. And thanks for trying my game! =)
Oh wow, very difficult but really interesting. The 'backwards shooter' thing is new to me. The delay on bombs exploding really gives it a totally different feel than I expected!
Graphics didn't really work for me.
But fun game overall!
I like it! Sounds, graphics and audio are all really good. I got up to 221, but could not go higher as passed a certain score, there is just too much blue bombs to allow for health regen :S Still an awesome game though, congrats!
Thank you everyone :)
I've updated the game's particle system. It used to generate lots of VBO buffers which slowed it down and it also was just unoptimized. Now it's quite a bit faster, although I can't imagine anyone had problems with that, because even my old computer handled the old version well enough.
I was instantly drawn into this game by the controls - very tight and a lot of fun - good job
Thanks :)
