Cool game!

Simple but addictive, i really like the explosions!

Just one note, when there are too many explosions at the same time i get into bullet time and dodge bullets!

Maybe you can increase speed by reducing the number of stars...

Bullettime LOL.

I wonder why that happens. One second you are getting a perfect framerate and the next, it is lagging like a lagger, but there are not that many more objects being displayed.

Alright. I finnaly got around to seperating the source from the random crap I had in the project folder and puting it on my FTP. I also updated the game link above and cut the number of stars in half.

Updated Game: www.1matthew.com/Starship359/SS359_Final.zip (2.5MB zipped)(Windows)
Game Source files: www.1matthew.com/Starship359/SS359_Source.zip (2.5MB zipped)(Windows)

To have some fun, try manipulating the glow1.bmp file or some of the other files and recompiling the code. It is quite fun

Enjoy

BTW: Concept and early work

Hey nice game!! But it's ever so fast, dread to think of what the later levels are like

Ooops! maybe the game is not so fast, It's my damm monitor,

Anyway, great having the source, just made it play on a bordeless full screen window and now it plays very well.

Heh, mabe for my next game I will have bosses and a different kind of enemy that does something differrent.

And it goes fast if you have a really fast refresh rate cause I forgot to set a limit :roll:

You overlooked a few small programming details... but that's fine because this game is pretty cool! You could improve on the main screen... to be honest, it looks kinda yucky. But the space ships look awesome and the best part about it is the explosions! The explosions are just amazing.
