video of my tempest style space shooter

This is something that i have only been working on for 4 hours or so, as a side project to my platform game. I was surprised how quick I managed to knock it together! Without the sound the project is only 164KB.

Obviously its not much of a fun game at the mo, I just put in an enemy ship to show them moving towards you.

What I do like though is the effect of the changing colours at around 34 seconds, in time to the beat change in the music. Hopefully going to build on that area for the game.

i like that, put a good graphics in there)

thanks, I'm going to get all the gameplay ( which I've got to think of first ) done, and then I'll do the graphics and music!

Portgas

looking forward to it) i think with a nice catching music this game can be very good, if you put a lot of effort in it of course)

Just been listening to some tunes to try and work out what type of music would go best with a game like this, I was thinking techno or fast rock style, keep the adrenalin up.

What do you guys think?

cheers

gazjm

Thanks. Anyone got an opinion on the type of music to use. Want to get this one right.

Cheers
