Nice screenie! Good to see this game getting a bulk out.
“Congratulations - all invaders destroyed”
Amazing! ;D
Chaz has got all the Earth, Moon, and Mars levels done now, and he’s added Titan finally. I’ve just put in a feature where occasionally you don’t quite destroy a gidrah and it’ll keel over and nosedive out of formation to the ground, and a little alien jumps out in parachute. If you catch him there’s a $100 bonus; if you miss him you get a -$250 escaped alien penalty! Of course you can always shoot him too
This week I’ll be putting in Challenge Stages which will occur every 7 levels, and will involve you trying to 100% shoot a bunch of flying saucers as they whiz overhead. Also this week, a few more alien movement patterns.

What do you reckon to a $4.95 price point for it?
Cas
Pocket change! I’ve lost more than that running for the bus!
Incidentally, what the hell does gidrah mean? Google only turns up your posts in various forums.
Perfect for me, and I think a very good, easy to spend price for a (by today’s standards) small invaders/galaga type arcade game.
But I suppose you’ll need lots of traffic/buyers to get anything out of it for that price. If you want I can direct visitors from my site to it as well as puppygames’ style of games seem to fit well with retrogaming, which is what most of my visitors are interested in, I suppose.
I’d buy it as soon as I could get off my ass.
That is the issue after all.
I haven’t been outside in several weeks. I mean that literally.
Gidrahs is a term from some cheesy Japanese godzilla-style sci-fi movies King Gidrah or somesuch. I saw it on the telly about 15 years ago with some friends and the name’s sort of stuck as a term for “the aliens” or any other sprite for that matter that appears to have behaviour not controlled by a player.

I see.
He’s going to be pissed when he learns you’ve been misspelling his name for 15 years.
Have you brought destruction down upon the sleepy villages of Somerset?
Gidrah’s a crafty misspelling I hope he doesn’t send a giant aquatic dinosaur to burn my house because… it’s for sale! If you want to move to England, Somerset, in the Quantock hills, the first area of outstanding natural beauty created in the UK, in a lovely thatched farmhouse cottage just 20 minutes from the motorway and Taunton (etc) then send a cheque for £375k and it’s yours
