coolness: 0.33
overall: 2.33
BUG NOTE:

- Controls get jammed up occasionally. The issue is typically resolved by simply pressing the key you want again, should holding it result in a jam.

- No score displayed when running Windows executable. This is due to some odditties in dealing with py2exe and pygame's default font. The quickest way to make it possible to create the executable was to simply remove the score display.

NEW:

The ompldr links I was using before seem to be failing people, so I've uploaded the whole package to dropbox. Just as before, windows users can run the main.exe file located in src/dist, and Linux/OSX users can just run the main.py file with python (provided you have pygame installed).

I've included a Windows executable.

Extract the rar's contents, navigate to src/dist and then run main.exe.

Written with Python 2.7, but should work with Python 2.6.X to 2.7.4. Makes use of the Pygame library.

Controls: Left, Right arrows to turn

Up arrow to move forwards

Space button to shoot

The objective is to shoot all the blocks that have the same color as the gem on the player's ship.

The score is proportional to the ratio of the time played in seconds to the number of blocks on the screen.

This game is designed with infinite gameplay in mind. You can't actually 'win'- or rather, as long as you're playing, you're always winning!
