About me

I am... me. (generic and quite horrible, I know) Okay, fine, I'll talk some more. I love most games, and tolerate all. I feed trolls throughout the internet. That said, I WILL stop when asked too. I also do WoW (Zeten, Blood Elf Mage, Smolderthorn and Prochnost, Undead Shadow Priest, Smolderthorn) and other MMOs, but mostly WoW. I won't eat you, and I can actually be quite personable. Oh, and for the love of GOD don't use bad grammar. Pisses me off to no end. Yes, I am a grammar nazi. Deal with it. Just don't "deeel wit it!!!!1" okay?

Hehe, so you’re a grammar nazi too, eh? THANK GOD, I thought I was the only one. At least, you’d think I was judging by the way everyone else talks on the web nowadays. shudder Please pass the sledgehammer – I’ve got some ‘cleansing’ to do…

Do'h! Forgot the review. The idea of controlling two entities at once is very good, and you have a good base for that concept. The control itself isn't absolutely great. For example, If I wanted to move both ships in a diagonal motion at the same time, I'm pressing 4 buttons, one more than most keyboards accept. If you could change the right ship's control into arrows or a keypad, you could bypass the limit. Also, I'm not too thrilled with the "N3wton"-esque projectiles (hold fire for a faster shot). Maybe a form of autofire or at least a fixed speed would help becuase you are already asking the player to control 4 different things at once, being the left ship, the right ship, shot direction, and shot speed. Most sucessful games of the 2d shooting style (as far as I can tell) max out at 3 multitasking elements (usually aim, movement, and fire). If you could only integrate one of these two, I'd like the game better.
