New game: Star Castle

Community Forums/Showcase/New game: Star Castle

Here's a remake of ‘Star Castle’. My third remake this year. :)

‘Star Castle’ is a space-shooter, where the object is to destroy the central cannon, by shooting through the rotating rings surrounding it – the castle.

The original game was a black and white vector graphics arcade game made by Cinematronics in 1980.

Looks awesome!

Too hard to control the spaceship but that's probably just me. I never liked the asteroids type control it just feels too loose. But a good looking nicely made game.

where is the mac version?

where is the mac version?


In my head somewhere. I do have a Mac but unfortunately I'm mostly a Windows persona and there's so many things I haven't had time to look into Mac-wise, like how to make a DMG file, how to give it the icon I want and other stuff. Easy if you know how, I'm sure...but I don't

It doesn't help that I'm using ETNA for the online highscores and it doesn't work on Mac. I've asked about an alternative so that won't hold me back, but no one seems to be able to help.

So I just keep working on the PC stuff.

Wow, really good stuff! How did you make it...I mean, how did you create the glowing 2D vector lines??

@Sokurah,

what is ETNA?


xlsior(Posted 2010) [#11]
ETNA is a free library that provides an easy way to do online highscores for blitzmax games under Windows.
