Um, the game just locked up for a few seconds. It happened right after the GAME OVER words showed up. I'd gotten a new high score and µTorrent is on at full speed, so maybe it happened because it was uploading or something?
Sorry about that - I used easyCurl with a wrapper rather than doing it all properly, so the delays when uploading the score wasn't really anything I could do anything about
Okay, clearly I love this because I've just been playing it the last hour and a half and haven't looked away from the computer.
Placed 15th. Have to stop myself!
Great work for such a short time. You really know what makes a shooter fun.
Thank you, that means a lot
Really glad that you enjoyed it!
Beat the game, finally, but didn't grab first place.
Congratulations
I'm both very impressed and annoyed at the current top score - it's probably ligit, but it really annoys me that he didn't even bother to enter a username
(I filled in the "blank" bit)
Here are a few tips in case you want to take another shot at it:
- Make sure you shoot all the motherships - they're worth several times more than everything else
- Try to get at least one cargo ship in each traffic wave!
- You get a big score bonus if you collect a yellow powerup when you already have a nuke equipped
- Your score gradually increases over time when you're not using your shield.
Even with all that 2.7 million is an excellent score (well above mine, actually) - so it's probable given the random nature of the game that he got lucky, heh.
