    The more I play it the more I'm enjoying it. I am very very impressed. The fact that its all been squeezed into 1k just astounds me more so.

     

    I'm eager to continue watching the progression of this game. :)

     

    I find that carefully timed sweeps still make the game relatively easy. I can see being able to find the rhythm

    and making the game rather easy. Although I know this is still being worked on...

     

    I'm not so sure I like the overused space bird/bug thing thats being seen here, it

    reminds me too much of games like Galaxian, Phoenix, Demon Attack, etc.

     

    Although I admit that its hard to think of what it could be instead that isn't

    so overtly cliche taking into account that these creatures do attack in swarms.

     

    Of course, much of sci-fi has some sort of small hyper manoeuvrable craft

    (TIE fighters for example)

     

    I love the colour change in regards to their damage though, great idea.

     

    Another question is in regards to the "rails". I wonder if its possible to have them rotate in shades

    (not colours) as they come down. I think if subtle enough this would add more to the effect that

    you're moving forward as the enemies do so towards you.

    Yes, I am definitely enjoying this.

     

    And I very much like that you've taken a gyruss approach to sound. Points for that.

     

    The game is enjoyable, much so. No chance for even a two frame enemy animation?

    Floppies and floppy drives used to be a lot more reliable, back when people used to depend on them... of course, any Atari floppy drive you find might be 20 years old, so not as reliable as when it was new. I don't blame you for not wanting to mess with them.

     

    I have 20-30 year old 5.25" floppies and >98% of them work just fine.

     

    I have 7-10 year old 3.5" floppies and <5% of them work just fine.

    To me boxes for games are like cover sheets for hardcover books.

    Especially since many Atari games already have their boxes artwork on the cartridge.

     

    I have found very few boxes in my cartridge hunts (<10!) out of the hundreds of cartridges I have found in the past 7 or so years of 2600 collection.

     

    While a box is nice, It doesn't suit me. It doesn't "protect" the cartridge much since cartridges are already rather durable, and they make each cartridge have a larger physical footprint in a hobby where space becomes a premium fast.
