Assuming it isn't, then it's pretty fun. Is there an end to it? If the Jumper is supposed to be waiting for his drive to warm up or something, a timer would be nice. I can understand not wanting to put in a health meter, but some kind of visual response when you are hit would add a lot I feel (explosion/screen flashes/ship flashes/whatever). Getting upgrades is fun, I like how they add to the ship structure rather than just improving your stats or such =D
No, it isn't the example game from XNA, it's all my own work ( I haven't actually seen that example, is it new? )
There's supposed to be a "good" ending, but I didn't get round to putting it in... Try getting one of the wave guns! They're the ones with the very high rate of fire...
I agree on the accel / decel thing. Ditto for damage / health indicators of some kind. The little things matter...
This is an amazing game. I really liked that the enemies didn't immediately die, but rather exploded for a second before disappearing. Collecting their weapons was quite fun.
Two suggestions: - some indication of how close you are to dying - Some inertia
Nice game, and welcome to LD. Gun sounds got repetitive and annoying fast but I liked the way guns can stack up on your ship. As others have said an indicator of your life would also have been handy. Good stuff!
Cool game.
(is this the example game from XNA's page? :|)
