Wowee.. its really looking impressive.. making me feel guilty about the small amount of progress I have made. I like the graphics.. clean.. simple.... Those trails left behind but the various attackers.. gives an lovely effect... With the tiny fonts and explosions it looks like a old game using vector graphics.. In fact.. if you made the aliens a little darker and set the semitrans to +1 front and back you could get a nice overlapping effect as they pass over each other. One minus point.. The alien bombs are bit bit hard to notice.. in fact near on invisible.. though that might be down to my brightness/contrast. I havent had a chance to really give it a good battering but I havent experienced any problems.. though I did experience a bit of slowdown occasionally. As for my previous comment about the spread effect.. I dunno Jon.. I cant fire any faster.. Am I getting to old for this sort of thing ?.. anyway.. the latest load seems to spread better ( it was the occasional shot going off at a big angle which to me didnt quite seem right ). I'll put some time aside to give this another go later.
