Me too - they're great for a quick blast now and again. Demo soon?

My retro shooter is available from my website.

What do you guys think of the explosions being behind the guys? (see picture no. 3 of 4) I was wondering if that looks bad? Someone mentioned it at indiegamer and now I can't stop noticing it!

Matt it's difficult to say from a still shot. But perhaps adding a few more shades could smooth out the gradient from light to dark in the explosion.

It really should be on top of the guys since they are going away. Or blend them together.

Alright, well putting the explosions on top of the guys worked well. Since I'm using lightblending on the explosions the blending looks pretty good.. Steve, played your shooter, very fun! :) Grey, yours isnt avail yet..

here's the latest

It's also hard to say from a .GIF image, since it reduces the #of colors considerably and introduces a bunch of dithering.

Steve, played your shooter, very fun! :)

Thanks Matt!

Your new screenshots look much better.

btw I see you created a spline creator for smooth attack patterns which sounds user friendly and complete (haven't tried it). I wrote one myself but it's not user friendly at all and I wrote it just for the game.

Thanks Scott, it toopk me 6 hours to implement Delta-Timing, now I have to muster up more motivation to add additional movement patterns. As far as SplineMagic Goes: Yeah, try it out! I made over 100 different move patterns in less than an hour with it.
