Thrustburst is finished
Thrustburst is finished
Hello, some might remember me posting about this in July 2006, hehe.
Anyway, it's done now after long devpause.
Download here!
It's not really a shmup, but there is some shooting and it is of the hardcore variety of games, which I know many people here like.
If you run into problems regarding gameplay I suggest reading the readme first (it's short).
Cheers.

Graphics look Amiga-ish .. will give it a try.
Edit: Ok .. this is definitely one of the more uh .. interesting shmups I've played in awhile. Not my kind of thing, but I can see the draw for those who would like it.
Your ship is not even remotely controlled with precise stick movements .. instead you seem to be able to accelerate, decelerate and thrust. And you drop like a rock when you stop thrusting. It's a bit like Lunar Lander .. except with way more gravity. Your only weapon seems to be a laser that flashes on for about a half second. You also get some shield .. which doesn't protect you from enemies running into you, only bullets.
There are hardly any enemies and those that are there are pretty dinky, but your movement and firepower are so wacky that it's a challenge to fight them.
It has music but it's disabled by default for some reason (?!).
Just a heads up .. this is not even remotely "Just another Shmup".

This is fun.
Just one question: how deep is the cave?!
Just one question: how deep is the cave?!
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.
No kidding. I can rack up huge scores just by grazing a lot but I can't imagine that I am getting all that far. One screenshot shows a teeeeeny little gap that you'll have to navigate through, and I certainly haven't made it there yet.null1024 wrote:This is fun.
