| I actually posted this in the gallery 3 weeks ago, but though I'd put it here as well. It's a remake of an old vector graphics arcade game from 1980, where the object is, for 1 or 2 players, to protect all the triangles in the middle of the screen. Read more about the original game, here; http://klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9326 Download this remake (and others) here; http://tardis.dk/wordpress/  |

| Not tried it yet, but I'm feeling the retro vibe. Will def give it a go when I get home! |

| Okay, had a go at it now. Good: Gfx + sound spot on. Like the idea of the gameplay. Bad: The controls for the ship are seriously flaky. The acceleration and deceleration should be smooth, and for some reason the ship randomly moves at a funny angle as it comes to a halt. The game seriously slows down when you fire all (4?) bullets. Overall this could be a really nice game, but the bad points mentioned make it unplayable for me. I hope you have a crack at ironing out those problems, and it could be a winner! |

| Man, I used to love this game in the arcades, even though it was ridiculously difficult! This has always been on my list of games to "update". I can't wait to try this one out. |

| nice vector fun..... lurvly. |
| ||
| Why stick vectors on top of a rendered space scene? |

| @Nomen luni I haven't really noticed the behaviour you're mentioning about the movement. The movement is not completely identical to the arcade version - just different, but turning to a different angle as it stops doesn't ring a bell (or I'm just too close to it to notice). Oh, and the game WILL run slowly with 4 bullets on the screen...if you run the game on a ZX81. ...but not on any kind of modern computer. Considering what's going on under the hood, the bullets certainly shouldn't be the straw to break the camels back. Can I ask what specs your computer have? @Indiepath Why not? - it looks good. ;-) ...but that's a matter of personal taste of course. :-) If you'd tried the game (and perhaps you have since then) you'd know that you can toggle the backdrop on/off as well as showing the vectors as black/white too, so if you want real oldschool look, it can also do that.  |

| Sokurah- Core 2 duo 6600, 2GB ram, 8800 GTS. I can play Bioshock with all the settings full with no lag. Nobody else seing this slow-down? |
| ||
| Haha... (that's a "damn, that weird - I have NO idea what's goin on" laugh). :-) That's the strangest thing - your computer is much much better than mine, so it can't be a hardware problem. What OS are you using? - can it be that Blitz3D has a problem with Windows Vista (if that's what you're running?) Can you get it to run without problems by turning some of the options on/off? - perhaps we can identify what the exact problem is. |
| ||
| Nah XP.. should have said. Weird indeed! I will have another go when I get home. |
| ||
| Turned everything off and still get the same. Bullets (even one) slow things right down. Occasionally, the ship moves sideways a bit for no reason whilst in transit. |
