What a fantistic game. Love playing this. Its a colourful, bright and cheerful game. The sound in the game is spot on and enhances the experience.
The difficulty modes work well, starting off with the too easy mode, breaks you in to the game. Then the other two get tougher and provide more of a challenge as you get better at the game.
I cant think of a better way to spend a few pounds / bucks and have a quick game on this. It will keep you going back for more. Horay for Jack Dragon and Kudos to PsyschicParrot for a great game... hoping for a follow up game. This would lend itself to a Amiga port as well!
Hey there. I am loving this game. We are covering it on this months episode of the Pixel Gaiden Podcast. What a great use of ASCII this is. I am enjoying playing this so much.
What was your inspiration on this, it kinda has that cross over between JetPac and R-Type.
Why was there no inclusion of a bomb as well as the laser shot, I guess that ramps up the difficulty or is it simply it would have been hard to implement with one button?
Thank you again for an excellent game!
Purchased this yesterday after seeing a reTweet by Vinny from Freeze64 about this. I cant believe I let this one pass me by on release. But made up for that now. Purchased and played. Very impressed. I will be talking about this on this months Pixel Gaiden podcast and will recommend that people come and give this a shot. Love the design and presentation.
At first the dynamic for down and fire for shield was annoying me and kept wasting them. But it's a good way to activate it when you need it rather than hitting a key on the keyboard. Could you maybe make it for two button sticks and give an option in a later version so you could activate with the second button maybe?
Thats my only thing and it's minor, does not detract from the enjoyment and this is now one of my go-to shooters on the C64.
Good to see the NTSC support and will be trying it out on my NTSC C128 to see the speed difference!
Great work :) - Tim from the Pixel Gaiden podcast
