Here's a new build with the bug fixed that Yart had found and absolutely no flicker on any game screens

It's also tuned to be a little tougher. We just played it for a couple of hours with no crashes and having to reload. Comments on this build were that the different screens started to feel like colour therapy with a hypnotic pleasing effect, and that the cities looked martian

RT thanks for the info on the debug screenflash, that's a great utility!

Just played a couple of rounds on the good ol 2600. Fun game, first time I've played it honestly, but it was challenging in a variety of ways. may I make a suggest? Don't have a ship on the bottom following you, make it so you have two or three on the bottom that are stationary but still shoot at you . . . just an idea.

Good job!

Thanks disjaukifa!

That's a cool idea, maybe I will revise it to have more ground ships in subsequent screens or have it alternate; agree they would have to be stationary if there was more than one.

I was also thinking of writing another video game with the new compilers beyond-semigraphic abilities but still keeping the focus on gameplay.

Very cool you played it on the real hardware btw

Hey man,

While graphics are nice and everything, I would focus more on game play. The game you have so far with great, a couple of improvements here and there and you've got yourself a really winner here. By all means make more games no one will complain about that , but I'm just saying get this one hammered out and finished!!!

If you need me to do more testing on real hardware just let me know

Thanks, I would definitely like you to test the next build! Let me know if you have any more ideas (anyone else too). Agree 100% on gameplay being paramount.

I definitely give it a big thumbs up! Particularly like the sound effects, excellently chosen! Great first effort!

Curious Sofa,
Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

Been a while, any updates on this?

[KevinMos3]

I still crave some kind of scoring. I want points for hitting that baddie at the bottom of the screen and tearing down buildings.

I'd love to see this game finished, we have a slew of awesome homebrews coming out (Seaweed Assault, Frantic, etc) however there is something special about games like this that I crave, maybe its just the shear simplicity of it.
