Cloudphobia

Post by Rai »

Hey, I'm new here. I don't know if anyone knows about this game (only seen one person bring it up in a topic, though there was no discussion of the actual game), but it's a recent favorite of mine. It's called Cloudphobia... and it's free. Pretty fun too. Nice graphics, sound, and smooth gameplay. Sadly, it only has one level, but the boss fight is long and hard.

Dev. Site- http://www.dwahan.net/uki/
Link to DL- http://www.dwahan.net/uki/shooting/

But something's getting annoying. Every now and then, I'm in the middle of the game and then the game shuts down and my computor restarts. Then I get an error message after the reset "Windows has just recovered from a serious error." Can anyone help me with this problem? (Running Win. XP, not sure of the specs)[/b]

what the crap is up with the Dev site? those screenshots are of things I've never seen in the game before. moreover, they added some new lighting effect to it, looks like.

I think the Dev's working on a sequel "New Dawn Phase". Probably screens of it in development, working on new lighting. But if that's within the game, it will probably run really slow if it's not optional.

I've played it before, and the timer + boost mechanic is interesting.

A sequel eh? I loved the first, so I'm hoping that this one will be just as good.
If it ever comes out, that is. I've grown accustomed to games I want to play fading away. I hope this doesn't.

I got this problem while playing another game, I never knew how to prevent that so I just stopped playing it.

Yeah, the first time I got on Roger Post's site, this was one of the games that I loved the most! Really incredible graphics, and I love all the ship designs in the game! :D Good to hear that there's a sequel in the works! :D

Yup, let's hope the sequel will come out soon. So I take it I can't really fix the problem I got? Oh well. Maybe we'll get some new screens in the next update. The last entry was 2 days ago. It said that 50,000 people had downloaded the game from his website since it's release (I think)
