Hello Egon Olsen,

Indeed nice and smooth. Very nice shading!

Personally I would rather use a color indicator on the strength of your opponent instead of the HEX values.
Also the bullets from the enemies could use another color. When I was clicking like a mad man it wasn’t clear
which one was mine or theirs ;D

Best regards from

Quite hard. Maybe a little increase on player’s life is needed.

#5

Brilliant :slight_smile: I got to level 3 once I figured out the tactics.

Cas :slight_smile:

#6

Bit of a strategic shooter :slight_smile: Very enjoyable.

Even the error message was sort of enjoyable :slight_smile:
From WebStart console:

...Category: Unexpected Error

Happened twice, a few secs into level 2.

Other than that a great game. Now I have to try your paradroid again.

Strange. I’ve never experienced this. Must be some bullet that’s located outside the level…maybe a fixed-point related rounding problem. I’ll try to fix it. Thanx for testing.

Edit: I’ve uploaded a version that may fix this problem albeit i’ve no idea what actually caused it… ???

Woah, just got a random freeze crash partway into level 3. First time I’ve seen this game after playing it several times. Hope you didn’t break anything. :stuck_out_tongue: no specific events were occuring, I was just randomly clicking and maybe moving at the time.

Edit: Ah, gets too easy after a while, got bored after level 12. No more crashes at least though. :slight_smile:

Fun game, good job!
