I finally finished a game
It's a simple scrolling shooter for Windows with abstract/retro graphics. You play it using the mouse.

That's a great game! It's nice when you get the power up but i can't get much further than that *goes off for another game*

The main display is actually a Sprite3D - so the smoothing effect is done with the Sprite3DQuality() function.
No plans at the moment to add joystick support - I don't have an analogue stick/pad to test with, and even then I'm not sure it would be as nice to play as with the mouse.

Keybard control would change the gamplay quite a bit - with the mouse you can instantly stop/reverse or change to any speed in between. With keyboard there would either be inertia, so your speed change isn't instant, or only a single speed - ie. you'd be either stopped or moving.
But really part of the fun of the game is mastering the control method - it's quite intuitive after a bit of practise (but it depends on how good your mouse is)

Really nice!!
Some kind of Vintage / Defender look and feeling - really smooth and enjoyable!
Keep up the good work!
(PS: Sometime I WILL do an Omega Race and Jupiter Lander clone in PB...
)

Yep.
Gametype also reminds me on the good old Defender (Atari 26oo)
The intro plasma fx is awesome and the whole gamedesign rocks - very
very well done
Keep it up

I'd be happy for it to be added... or do I need to register somehow and add it myself? I couldn't see how

I was thinking of adding something like that but I kind of like the simplicity of the current gameplay as it is (and also it's possible to just keep on adding new features and never finishing a game...)

I know that I'm curious but: Where does the name of the game come from?

There's no special significance to the name - I couldn't think of what to call the game then I saw a picture of some Riesling grapes on the wall in my parents' kitchen with just the word "Riesling" written at the bottom.
