Some fine fireworks,. and the newest target, the dark ones coming from the right out of the purple plasma.

update to .exe after lunch. trying to get a net scoreboard working.

Works great, except that it will not shut down its window or process properly when quitting, so it has to be terminated by force.

Absolutely beautiful! The slight trails add a lot to the otherwise to sparse game, and the combination of space invaders and classic shmup with a slight touch of bullet hell is a good dish! Since I am not a hard-core shmupper I'd enjoy some easier difficulty levels, and if you have time, some more movements and variation in the BG would be nice. Music?

I gota go shovel snow,. so I will just post the non-highscore ver. today. See the top post.
The game is much changed,. and will likely change some more.,

cheers.

It's so pretty.
 

Agreed. It looks real swish!

Thanks guys,.

 I posted proto 7 as the 'final' for the perposes if this compo,. I did not get the Leaderboard in   it is working, i.e. the game can post the scores to the server where they are mesured and ordered, however I still need to have the game get the table from the server and display it.., as well as add a way to enter the players name for all to see. 
Guess I will just do an update in a few days when I have it all nice and working.  Time and energy are just to limited of comodites.  Anyway another fun compo,. and looks like loads of cool games built for it,. now I will try some of them!  Peace.

Slick!  Well polished.  I thought this style was familiar and then i saw your link to LockOn which i have also previously enjoyed.

[Melly]

Game's pretty polished and fun, though I felt the mechanics were a bit obscure at first, and took a bit of time to grasp, not that that's necessarily a bad thing. The use of the assets was superb and I love all the graphical effects.

Melly- I just played it again, after taking some time away from it to do my Gamma IV game and the gameplay mechanics are indeed "obscure"!  I took a simple game and made it sorta hard and overly complex perhaps.., I will have some time wokr on this again in a few days,. and perhaps it will change some more? I find when I work intensly on something for too long, then not look at it for a while, and then come back to it, I then see all my mistakes.  Well at least I will add the net highscore table, as in the time since I finished this competition version, Ville has added string suport to ZGE and that should make the table building a tad simpler for me.

feeblethemighty- thanks man,.

Liked: The visual effects were well done. The warp mechanic was nice, so too was being able rebound bullets back at your opponent.

Disliked: It's all way to small. I was straining my eyes during the game and couldn't read any of the text.

Conclusion: Good solid entry. Make everything bigger and I'll play it again.

Man, this game is beautiful. It does cut two ways, though; I kind of felt like my biggest enemy was how visually busy everything was, instead of the actual enemies.
