Survive in space, that;s all there is. Use the WASD keys to move, mouse to fire. Use space to use a bomb. The menu screen doubles as an enemy/bullet free practice screen. Don't get killed. I didn't spend a lot of time on this, though, just so you know. There are probably bugs. It's all for a high score, which'll probably annow ricky.

The glowing bar at the top is your health. The bar at the bottom is your bmob power. it should be full to use a bomb.

Any comments? Especially on the logo before the game?

The stars I gave you are for the cool effects.

First off, yes, your logo is awesome :D the problem is that it made my computer freeze up a bit near the end and I don't think I got the intended effect. And I'm running on a month old computer so it shouldn't be my problem. As a game, it lacked a lot. The movement was absolutely useless, as you can just stay in one spot and swivel to hit enemies fairly quickly, and more accurately than while moving.
My main problem with this game is how you abuse the effects. It's like Kirk Hammet and that stupid wah-pedal that he uses every second of every song. Between the trail of your player behind you, explosions, and then bombs, there's just too much going on. It doesn't flow at all. You need to clean up the effects you used to make it look smoother. Also, the enemies remind of a terribly animated square pacman.

I do give you credit for the cool graphics effects you managed to show off in a small project.

I think I agree with you. I should have put more time into it. I think that I shouldn't have used the explosions, either. Anyways, I'll revise the gameplay. If you stick around long enough, there should be more enemies, but maybe I should not add so long a wait.

I wanted to help KetchupMaster with the Gamebuilder Show by doing some reviews. I started with Survival Space.

However, I got really carried away and the review ended up being over 12 minutes long.

It's been scrapped from the show but I still uploaded it to YouTube because I thought you might find it amusing, lol...

WATCH IT!! ;P

I've never done a game review before... this is my first... and I didn't realize at the time how long it was turning out to be. Sorry if it's boring. LOL...

Well, you didn't have the right font for my screens. Thanks anyways!

Right font? What are you talking about?

Oh wait, you were using a string object, which requires the font used must be installed on the user's computer for it to display properly...

Not a very good idea.

Cool! Just remember, if you're going to have text, don't use any method that relies on user fonts :)

For some reason, the .mfa file is different from the .exe file. Could you give us the source of the one with purple effects as well?

Thanks!
