Hi everybody,
Here's my entry for the PSP game programming competition, I hope you enjoy.
It's a remake of an old classic XBox 360 game, see if you can guess which one!

You can download it here.

In game controls :-

Analog stick = Steer ship
Left trigger = Thrust
Right Trigger = Fire
Triangle = Smart bomb

Hiscore controls :-

Left trigger = Delete letter
Right trigger = Enter letter
Cross = Accept name

There are a few things missing at the moment, but I'll post an update sometime in the week.

Cheers,
71M

Awesome news and a Nice looking release, we wish him and all well in the comp.

I'm going to try it right now.

It looks great.

TRIED!

WOOOOOOOW!

2 things:

1.- please, please, please let the user redefine keys.

2.- on the playability side. I did 250000 points just by turning around firing (no need to touch the thrust) It's not what I would call addictive. but it's a good start

i'm really looking forward for future versions of this great game

Truthfuly, Geometry wars first saw an aperance on Xbox with PGR2. So while not a classic, its not a recent game.

Is there any reason why the bottom screenshot says "Press left mouse button to shoot"? Last I checked, this is on a psp, which doesn't have a mouse. ^^;

Was this initially programmed for the PC?

This is a neat little game.
Looks like Geometry Wars,
Controls like Asteroids.

I would have to agree with xiringu on user defined keys.

I was hopeing it would control like the old SNES versions of Smash TV and Total Carnage.

D-Pad/Analog controls the players movement.
The 4 buttons would control which way the player faced as well as fireing in that direction as well.

Anyhoo, this game will stay on my PSP for a long while.

Thanks!!

nice and i love the idea for smashtv like controlls

i love this game- 2.06 million points! not bad considering i had 5 ships left and just goofed around at the end.

however, there seems to be a memory leak, as there becomes a HUGE slow down after 1 mil
