For some kind of demo of a 'full scale game' this is far more than I would expect... Waiting for the 'full' version! ;)

Devs not playing their own games isn't just a legend. Whether they play their own games is what divides good devs from bad devs. This looks like the work of good devs!

You're getting some Kreds off me just for the starting animation, the best 3D i've seen in a Flash game, great job.
Favourited and Donated.

Rank III Ace Medal of Valor - 107100 ... somehow you should try to get more from the 3d aspect, the gameplay isn't using it. For inspiration you can look at the x-wing or rebel assault games.

Lasers wouldnt replenish after the first 10 shots, but even so, managed to get 94600 points, Rank 1 Veteran Medal of Valor.
Good game, great for wasting time!

wammyflammy, the idea of the contest is endurance, so we do not bother with graceful increments of difficulty, the difficulty curve is VERY steep. This is a shooter on the same level of difficulty as ragdoll avalanche, do your best, score the highest, dont expect any mercy from the game.
BTW. my top score is 100k ;)

can't get past 45,000 for two simple reasons:
bullets are impossible to spot when fired anywhere close to you.
health cannot be refilled, and shield does not recharge like you would think it would in any game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
ooo. yeah. the bullets being so small and star colored makes it a amazingly hard to survive post 25000 score, because of the terrible amount of ....stuff, on screen. trying to keep and eye on powerups and bullets is hard enough, let alone hitting the enemies blowing the hell out of you while you struggle to spot all the bullets in time. the 3D is obnoxious and not terribly necessary, this would've been better in a top-down shooter i think. still, its not bad. 3/5.

Thanks for that, arkatufus. now it makes sense =) Seems 63,900 is my highest score i've been able to get. Did not judge according to contest, because I didn't realize it was for the contest (i guess the page being splashed with all that stuff makes sense now...)

It seems that when we uploaded a verison with a bug fix, earlier Kongregate messed up our stat reports... sigh. We didnt change the stat report at all, but Kong stopped receiving them. Sorry for the inconvenience and unsaved scores!

I was totally going to rate it a 7, but then I looked at the credits and I wasn't there, so it's a 5 instead. Eat that. >.> Also, great game. <3

Arkatufus, don't get all pissy because some people didn't like your game. It's a cool concept, no doubt, but it need some work. 1: The status bars that follow the ship need to go, they need to be larger, and stationary on the sides of the screen. 2: It's hard to tell what's going on when the action gets crazy. No one like getting hit by bullets they couldn't see. 3: The player's ship should also be a bit smaller in my opinion.
I'll give this 3/5 stars, but only for the cool foundation and catchy music. The game itself needs a lot of polish before I'd call it "fun".
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
well, a few things bug me: could the enemy bullets be bright red or green or something visible? i get hit without knowing cause of all the SFX and friendly shots and rockets going off and stuff. and can health/shield regen after time without a hit? or by powerup? please?

here's my last comment. i started to enjoy playing this game, though previous comments have stated by dislikes. I came to the conclusion though... with a question: Why is this game in 3D? You said previously there are lots of things you can do with the 3D. I recommend employing some of them. I thought I would be able to do a barrel roll... :P

wattro, the ranks goes from 3 ensign, 2 ensign, 1 ensign and then changed to 3 veteran, 2 veteran, 1 veteran, then goes to 3, 2, and 1 ace as the highest.

Guys, please judge us fairly in the constraint of the contest guidelines. Please do not compare us with the rest of the games in Kong.

i got 63,900 this time around, but only got rank 2... i got rank 3 earlier for a lower score. not sure how the ranking vs scoring works
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the 3D is a cool concept, but perspective is something to get used to and may not be favored by many nuanced gamers looking for more than an experience, but more for a hardcore experience

So, the intro totally reminds me of ikaruga. Game is somewhat interesting, though the powerups are a bit hard to judge where to go to get them.

LobsterMobster: "Are the yellow things money or enemy bullets? Sometimes I'd get a pickup sound from them and sometimes they'd explode. " There is no money its only bullets. The "money" sound is your shield, while the explosion sound is after your shields go down. Descent game, lacks depth.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
One thing I forgot to add: I can't figure out if power ups are dropped randomly (in which case they shouldn't be timed) or if there's some unwritten rule about how to get them to drop (kill every ship in a set). Either way it's frustrating not knowing just how much risk we need to take (if any at all). Just a thought.

I haven't gotten very far in terms of upgrades, but at level 2 they seem pretty neat. Other wise? It's just so dang busy. Add onto the business the twitchy, sluggish controls and it's just... Frustrating. I wish it were more actiony and less like fishing. (3/5)

not submitting my scores ether (highest around 60,000). Could use some tweaking (letting the blaster powerups last the same amount of time, not shots, as the missile ones) but still a good game. 3.5/5

I started with 5/5 just because of the SNES Star Fox look. Though the game leaks gameplay, archievements, upgrades, levels and the 2 very important things, a well written plot and hability to go up and down. 2/5 Sorry mate. Try upgrading it and releasing a new one.

An ugly boring game with no levels, story, bosses or anything else that actually makes up a game.
Woah 3d, you spent longer making the ships than the rest of the game. Congrats.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Good effects... But suprisingly boring. I think it is because there isn't really much user interaction, you just sit there and move the mouse and the game does the rest. It should be a spacebar shooter, and I think the FPS needs to be higher. Overall, a good game.
