I have been working on a little idea for this,. I didn't realise there was a forum devoted to gamma!  Ok, here is a screen fragment,. I don't want to give away the gameplay, of course it will be simple-ish.



 I am still working out exactly how the game will be controled (well more the reactions to the player control), however I like the simple look, and the base of the gameplay I have worked out so far.  I am planing to have it multiplayer, but I am not quite satisfied with the single player control just yet, . so more testing and tweeking is needed.

UPDATE:

The finnal ver. (silent) Impulse DOWNLOAD 47KB

Use Q,P,Z, and M keys or four gamepads using the first button on each.  Runs fullscreen at whatever resolution you are running in. I may add some sounds to this some time in the future,. . Cheers.

And another Torontron enters the fray. But I'm not showing anything or even making promises until after I have a working game  Noir


Also I saw a video of your game via Twitter. Looks nice.

Really diggin' that little trail effect you got going on. Looks like it'll be pretty sweet to see in motion.

I love that everyone's been posting these super-cryptic screenshots. Makes the anticipation all the sweeter.

humm, I am not sure who you are n0wak, will you game feature Cephalopods?   think i know who bigpants is though,. .  yeah Tim W asked me to post a video,. hope it was criptic enouph, the game play as evolved since that anyway.

thanks GKokoris, I like the graffiti feel that that the trail evolks. , the tweekiness is determined by the thrust level, so it leave a history of your single key usage,. .

Oddly, I thought the blurryness in the video looked really cool for this. The sharp screenshot doesn't look as good, although I may change my opinion when I see it in motion.

Submited! Gentleman

 I got all four players working,. and came up with a simple interface so no matter what controller you pick up you can know which avatar you are controling,. there is a scoring system with a multiplier setup that facilitates competition for control of 'bouncer nodes' that makes for a bit of niffty gameplay,.

The only problem was that I could not TEST with four actual controlers,. so I do hope I have it all set up correctly!?!

anyways,. a fun challange to do some strange gameplay,. and as always, I learened some new skills doing it,. .  peace.

Ditto! Does anyone here have four xbox360 pads, because I certainly don't. Smiley

I'm hoping for the best as far as that goes.

Congrats on getting it submitted and good luck. I'm just adding a bit of sound to my game at the moment, even though you don't really need to. LOL

Yeah without the controlers it's just down to faith in the functions,. .  Concerned

I could only try this in singleplayer, but it was interesting. It took me forever to get out of just bashing my head on the centre, though. I also found it was a little easy to get back into doing that, too, which is kind of frustrating. When I started actually orbiting, I started having more fun. That was when I could actually get used to the controls. If you start off bouncing directly onto the centre, you have to escape that before learning how the game really works (by which I mean, not what the controls do, but how much it influences the game and how to effectively use it).

That said, once you get out of that bit, it's quite fun.

What a fine game! Really like this now I've got the hang of switching stars on and off and understanding how that affects the pull on my space-ship. Great work! Really wants sound effects though. Will be posting a little on this shortly at the SpecialEffect gamebase: http://www.gamebase.info/forum/topic/23/page/1 and I recon a review too.
