Just updated the game to some more complete - but still BETA - version.
Now supports gamepad and a fancy gameplay tune ( same link as above )
( Credits to the BG tune go to Christian Erenskjold aka “Coffee-Break” @ newgrounds.com )
I really think the old game concept gains some gameplay-fun by the faster paced action going on in my remake
Would be happy to hear any feedback, thoughts etc…
Damn this is good.
This was one of my favourite games in the olden days when I had a spectrum 48k.
Good remake even down to the, what seemed to me like farts, sound when killing an enemy.
Now would you be able to reproduce the colour bleed?
2 observations:
1- The web build is way to big even when viewing full screen in browser, couldnt see the bottom of the game area.
2- The fuel always seemed to spawn somewhere in the right hand of the screen, if you look at the screen shot for the original game the fuel is in the left half, I never got it that far left.
Hey thanks for the nice response…
good catch , i guess it’s the free counter code i use which i put way down to the bottom … i guess i’ll put it back into the area where it’s visible …
regarding the fuel spawn, it’s pure random , but evenutally there’s some bug in there, though in my tests i always have it spawn on various places over the whole screen.
@'Colorbleed … well … erm… when i really can’t find anything else to implement, i might even look into that
