Yes, there is aproblem with spawn location. The spawn locations move around with the player and it gets very annoying.

Not bad, but Zunderfury it ain't. The graphics are great, and it's fun to have stuff to collect, but that's about it. A few small beefs:
1) Why bother having scrolling and a radar when the entire play area is less than four times the size of the screen? Why not just make everything smaller and make it a single-screener, so you can always see everything?
2) Enemies should look like enemies and bullets should look like bullets. You shouldn't have to use trial and error to figure out that the big stars are destructable but the small ones aren't.
3) Even if the enemies don't actually spawn on top of you, the effect is the same because they appear instantly. Even though Zunderfury's enemies can spawn directly on you, it's actually much fairer because you can see where it's going to happen and get out of the way. I hate to keep going back to Zunderfury, but it's really the best game of this type on the web, imho. This game is worth 3/5.

1. I dont like how the screen follows you, I think it would be better if it didnt
2. Enemys are hard and very cheap
3. Need more upgrades

Would be nice if there were some sort of warning system so that you didn't end up right in the middle of a huge cluster of baddies.
That said, otherwise an awesome game. 4/5

I think the main reason you're getting a lot of complaints about enemies spawing on top of the player has to do with location. In Geometry Wars, enemies only spawned in the corners for the most part; thus, avoiding the corners meant you were almost garenteed not to crash into a spawn. Here, where they can spawn anywhere, this becomes the major threat; not fending off enemy's unique powers, but simply trying not to run into them after they appear. Once the spawn rate ramps up, the player tends to get boxed in by spawns very quickly.

lol good thing they dont shoot back i give it a 4\5 cause after a while it was still fun because t was more reflexes in the quick spawning ones but the ones where they horde up into piles are just annoying

Shielded ones suck. Need to make them have a curtain amount of hits before the go bye bye. anyway if not for the shielded ones its a 3/5 with them its a 1/5
Boo!

interesting game, although flawed in some aspects with its clutter that spawns far too close to deal with, the only way to combat this is to hug the side of the screen later on....only way to get a good score

yes indeed spawning is too near and when the shielded ones come its too mtuch perhaps im a noob but it was very hard to kill them even with bombs cause they were spawning immediatly near me again

i just noticed wy evrryone says sapwning is too close... its only for the blue star liek enemies. they go starigh towards you when they spawn, and at a high speed. usually, its next to imposible ot dodge if you are targeting something else. plus, if you move in one direction, a spawnign eemy does ot even have to move to hit you very easily.

wickedjuggalo, lay off the caffiene. Was it really even necessary to say half of that? And what do you have against windchimes???

>:U
also please fix the spawning distance, etc etc

Btw this game doesn't work very well on mac (OSX leopard 10.5), the text '0' does not display properly and it can get ridiculously laggy. On the same computer on windows it works fine.

its good but if u lose u should be able to use left over pips to revive if possible and also should have waves after 500 pips are collected =] 4/5

Pretty good game I think, I would give it around a 4.5. I wish the enemies would spawn a little farther away, though, and it would be good if the map was larger. It would also be better if there were more upgrades that you could make, including stuff that actually modifies the look of your ship. That would be cool. :)

Oh and what's up with the shielded guys? I tried flying to get behind them, ( since their turning is so slow, this seemed like the obvious play), but they would always flip around, in a single frame, to face me again.

bullshit. same criticism as everyone else, which is generally a sign that it's a flaw you should pay attention to. it would be so awesome if that problem was not there.

It's fun, but it's missing an important aspect of geometry wars, which is the wide open screen. I like the music, but the pip pickup windchime sounds don't gel with it at all.

I love that game, can't believe so many people complaining because its too difficult for them. If its too difficult go play "Mario is missing" or something easier.
