I found this release quite fun the only thing i suggest is after you die a 5 second pause to atleast dodge the bullets before you die cause i couldnt move and the automatically killed me but all and all a very good release

I keep working on this one, and I'm not sure but there's always something missing, guess it's some sort of writers block. I finally got my sprite engine ported from x86 to C at a descent speed. They all share the AI right now, but each type of bug is supposed to behave differently.. and some bugs :P I commented out for the release.. they were too buggy!

Can't think of what's that missing thing is.. Boss level's?? Bonus levels..

Some currently have "coder block" ??? and are in need of ideas!

Hey Kamjin just wondering if this is the test version you handed over to me or it is an updated version that needs a few more touches.

Some of the changes from the other version..
I've put in a high score table, I only show the highest score, and disabled the saving. Even though the game is at 320x240 I upscaled it to 640x480.. otherwise it looks real bad on a TV.
Rumble is in there, but also turned off.
The attacking bugs are more aggressive, and your ship moves faster. You can shoot more.. and you can see the score!

Me: Thats why i made a post about making clone games and you dont necissarly have to make clone games you can port a game if you want to make something these normally dont take long unless heavily coded or other things i dont know about when you port games

hehe in need of ideas.....just talk to me i have a bunch ....for platformers...shooters....arcadey stuff....and action rpgs.......im probally gonna start looking into making sprites sometime soon for some of this stuff but i gotta reinstall Photoshop since my computer crashed..

[Kamjin]

Maximo,
Try it out and let me know what you think it needs!!!!!!

Art work is a seriously needed item, especially sprites, if you have the time you should make some, and put it up, with some sort of license.. "give me credit" if the game is free, pay me if you turn a profit type thing.
It would be nice to have some sort of repository of art and sound effects..
