Title: Constellation Chaos

I just finished Constellation Chaos (In Flixel) with my pal Andy Wolff! Souleye made some rad music for the game as well. :D

In this game, you control a little ship with the mouse. As you jet off to different stars, you leave a constellation trail behind you. The longer these constellation trails are, the higher the score will be. These trails also act as your " bullets", because they destroy the enemies you will encounter.
Read the ingame instructions for further understanding.

Pressing R while playing will restart

There are online highscores in the game, but you'll have to be logged into newgrounds to submit your scores.

I really like it.  I remember liking it back in prototype form and it's even more awesome now!

I posted (http://braingaleteam.com/?p=333) about this on Braingale. You've both seen it, but still.  :giggle:

I registered just to say, the music is awesome. It has a Tangerine Dream feel to it, my favourite music to program to :)

Those newgrounds folks could at least write a score board that doesn't crash my debugger version of Flash Player.

  ;D  Wow, thanks! Souleye did the music. You'd probably really like a lot of his other stuff too. Welcome to TIGs. Also, Tangerine Dream is one of my favorite bands


Yeah sorry about that st33d, their API is still riddled with problems. They haven't finished it yet, apparently. I don't know when it will be fully stable

This is addictive.

It has nice improvements over the original GM version. Aiming by pointing the mouse is much better than the rotational method that was used before, and the safety borders are a well chosen addition.

It's too bad NG's highscore system doesn't work as well as it should.

Very cool.

This game just feels really good to play. Really relaxed. And it does a great job of making you feel, each time you lose, like you almost had it... you can totally do it, you just need one more game...
