I only got hit when I lagged for a second, it really hurts this game, even with quality at low. Besides that its awesome!
I like how the heath scales, it makes it harder to survive longer, but its expensive: either 10% hp or a weapon upgrade, hmm. Make it more like 30% for the prices of now.

yep eventually game designers will realize to make laptop freindly controls and they will get higher ratings. Even a sacrifice in game play to accomodate would be welcome.

pips must be WAY more attracted to ship, and i dont think health should cost more per buy, if its going to give that little

I thought it was nice at first, but there are a lot of balance issues. Spawning everything at a close distance from the player and then telling them not to move is NOT an option. Spawn them from a further spot. Also, the shield stage isn't correctly worked out. They're completely immune from your shots up the front, BUT there are also spawning summoners, blue arrows and spikes, which makes it impossible to manouvre around them to kill them. Balance that one.

I have to agree with those commenting about the way the health cost increases for only a very small healing factor and the enemies spawning ontop problems.

Too short, well, the enemies spawning right on you makes it pretty hard, and well, there's pretty much no room for mistakes, the first times you're playing it's terrible, but it gets better, I guess.

Great concept, needs some balance tweaks. Enemies should not be able to spawn on top of you, the "pips" should get pulled towards your ship from a greater distance, and completely rework the health system.

I agree with Dano. This is a good geometry wars clone, though I cannot give it a 5/5 with a few tweaks.
1) Since Health has a scaling cost, you should heal 100% with each use, otherwise keep the cost static. As it stands, health is currently useless.
2) Certain enemies spawn directly into you, this is absolutely annoying when a random cluster of basic arrow-shaped enemies spawn and instakill you. Either add some scripting to prevent anything from spawning within +/-x,+/-y from you, or make them unable to damage you until a second after they've spawned, either would allow you the reaction time needed.
3) I'm not much a fan of the scrolling map. You did a great job with it, but I'd rather one static screen.
4) This is just personal preference, but it'd be nice if your kill points would slowly move towards you, but thats not necessary. I just think it'd add to the dynamics of the game if they weren't static (since everything else is so fast paced)

I would love to see it set so that enemies came from the edge of the map. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, and clearly someone is good at it, since the top scores are full of 600k scores, but I just can't seem to break 150k and I really wanna see what the max wep upgrade looks like.

I gave this 4/5. I think it could be a 5/5 game.. but two things should be changed:
- get rid of the stupid chimes, they are not needed and kinda kill the theme of the game
- enemies spawn into you, wtf is up with that, make a lil time limit before they collide with you cos that is very unfair!
Fix those 2 things and u have an AWESOME game xD

Hint on how to easily defeat shielded enemies: Something holds them from reaching the edge of the playfield, and you can use this to your advantage.
When I found that out, I reached 220k points without healing. :D
5/5, I love it.

wind chimes??? worst game ever to be played ever of all games in the internet to be played omg this is so very stupid i mean come on wind chimes who puts wind chimes in a game that pisses me off omg this game is like the apitamy of stupid its not even worth looking at this makes me sad to turn on the computer i think of this badly bad game and cry myself to sleep omg it sucks so bad i hate it this is the longest comment i have ever left omg sucks hate it 1/5 no no -10000000/5

I definetly did not like the shielded guys. It was nearly impossible to get behind them without getting shot crazy by everything else. Maybe you should make their shields breakable, and if they already are, they need to be weaker.

Ok the problem with this game is not the enemies spawning on top of you, the problem is that the scrolling screen is not fast enough. Try staying in one place, just shooting anything that comes within the field of vision. You will have generally plenty of time to deal with each threat. Start moving to collect pips and your dead, as you can't see beyond the edge of the screen; which is moving slower then your fighter is. So your fighter will generally reach the edge of the screen before the scrolling will kick in. Hench it looks like an enemy 'spawns' right on top of you, when really it spawned out of your field of vision.

I enjoyed most parts of the game except the fact they would spawn on you. But if its gonna be kept that way, at least could you keep repair price the same, seeing how most people will be repairing a lot through this game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
yup, u should make enemies appear from outside of the box, and cheaper health, maybe intervals of 5 pips each time? its barely fair when the shielded guys pop up...
and (jus an idea) u should add a "shield" to the upgrades, either you can activate it for a short time, or it will just reduce the amount of damage taken =) i can give more ideas if you want, this game would be awesome if some of these were added!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
if its THAT hard to make the enemies spawn far from the main ship then y dont just make them come in from the outside?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
i agree we need a spawn distance and health cheap...not more and more expensive(maybee change every time you lvl up weapon not when you buy health, that way it is the proportion to your pips :))

"If I had any suggestion to the coding of this it would be to set a minimum distance that the enemy has to be from your ship in order to spawn. I was hit too many times by ships that would spawn exactly on top of me. It creates a feeling of "that's not fair"
This. It's not so much a challenge as a frustration when the enemy spawn number goes up and, no matter what your skill level, you're bound to get hit.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Biggest complaint is that enemies seem to spawn inside you meaning action is all ways focused where you've all ready been fighting, as your trying to collect the cash you get for killing them.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
great game, but the health should stay the same price, you are gonna get hit, so repairing yourself should be relatively cheap, other than that an excellent game. nice description btw.

Another flaw (or two, I haven't decided yet) is the ability of enemies to hit you (especially stars) and then do MORE damage by coming back in for another hit. Mostly this is just the stars, which you hit, they explode and then you get hit by at least one of the stars, and if you get hit by more the hits still count. Normally you have a few seconds grace after being hit - in almost any game - in which to extricate yourself from the danger, by any means necessary. In this, you get hit once and then hit again, again, again, again and again... give us a few seconds invulnerability or as a ghost (so as not to waste hte enemies exploding on us) pplease?

I would like to point out that no matter how much you shoot at them, a full frontal assault doesn't seem to avail you upon the shielded enemies, and when trying to get round them would make you crash into more enemies and get them crashing into you we have a conundrum. Also, as people have said, the cost of health increases too rapidly. Get hit four times and your are looking at a 200 pip bill. You can get a gun upgrade and a helper for that amount. After that, you have to foot a 520 pip bill if you get hit the same number of times. For that money you can get all the helper upgrades and a smart bomb, a gun upgrade, rapid fire and two helpers or two gun upgrades and two helpers. That ain't cheap.
