we forgot to mention that this technically should work just fine on osx if you compile it from the sources but since neither of us have a mac its not something we tested.
The game was quite nice. I had the feeling, enemys/obstacles were a bit too fast, or the gun wasn't powerful enough. I like the parallax scrolling on the background.
I'm sorry but when we packed the OpenAL in the zip file there was a problem with the 64 and 32 bit versons. But I wrote in the note and in the READ med that "You still need to install openal to run the game (http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/oalinst.zip)";
Enjoyable little shooter! Has a lot of character to it, but I'm not sure I was any good at it. At first it seemed too easy to kill the guys, and then it got too hard so I just ended up side-lining it and holding down space while trying to dodge boulders. At some point I thought I was seeing cherries so I tried to start collecting them and then I died. Moral of the story? Cherries don't grow in outer-space, those were bullets. :(
Hehe I'm glad you guys like our game. Maybe we should have explained the powerups to make it abit easier for you.
Blue powerup: Shield boost, gives +10% shield Red powerup: Power amplifier (+1 POWER) this will increase your damage, attackspeed and type of damage. (At MAX level this gives HP) Green bomb: kills everything at the screen (but be aware, this might have unwanted consequences) ;) Red bomb: This bomb will remove your shield, avoid at any time.
Also, shields only works against laser damage, if you run into things your Hull/Health will take damage and shields will be ignored.
The game has promise but the player shots are really slow and weak, so I would have to absorb a good amount of enemy shots to get enough in to kill an enemy. I did better just dodging enemies and shooting asteroids for points.
Good job guys! I enjoyed playing this entry! A little tough for me as I'm not used to shmups but enjoyable just the same. Liked the music and the graphics, especially the explosions.
I think the game would work better with faster shot for hero and slower for ennemies. It's not about the fact the the game is hard, but I think the player would have more fun time trying to avoid bullets rather than a shield and health status to take blows. Those sinusoid moves on some enemies are also too fast. It's impossible to catch them with a bullet that take 3 seconds to go across the screen. Apart of that I like those asteroids particles when they explodes and also the very cool & retro-colored font :)

zairon: Yeah the level 0 shots are very slow, but they get faster when you get higher level.
But it was really laggy on my computer, and that made controlling the ship almost impossible. >_<
If it weren't for that, it would have been quite fun. ^^
Didn't seem to exit cleanly (left a dos window playing music behind)
About the slow shots, maybe the "power 0" shots are abit slow, but it's a score hunt game, it shouldn't be easy :P

I hope this helps :)
Other than that it's quite a fun game, enjoyed the explosions! ;D
