Ah, finally took down the WARCORE. I think the thing that did it for me was weapon choice on that level. I think the game kind of steers you toward using one weapon, but when I used a different one, it was much easier.

Are people still playing this or is there another game coming up?

The vote was April 21, so we still have three weeks left on Hydorah.

Just played this, very smooth. I think most of the elements fit together nicely, but the rotating aliased asteroid sprites were a bit of a let down. I wonder if you could do a low-res game like this, but embed it in high-res, so you could rotate the pixeled sprites without aliasing? Anyways, I only had time to play two levels but hopefully I'll have a chance to play a bit more..

Um, you mean like any 2d game that uses a GPU instead of blitting? Yeah, you can do that.

I've done two or three perfect runs of this game by now, over the years- no deaths, all the levels on both branches and the extra tidbits. It's a really exceptional game.
Hydorah really makes me conflicted with regard to shooter design, though. Games with music and atmosphere as incredible as Hydorah's really shouldn't be hiding behind such obnoxious difficulty! I can make it through Galactic Inferno with most of my lives and upgrades intact, but it's such a brick wall on the difficulty curve that I get the feeling a lot of people who love what they see aren't even able to make it to the more beautiful levels on the second branch.
Path of Scylla is absolutely one of the coolest settings I've ever seen in a video game.

Valter, yeh I'm one of the guys who can't make it through the early levels ... which sucks because I love the look/feel of the game and I'd like to see this Path of Scylla. Maybe I'll devote an hour or two today to trying to get there today ...  |
