ABA games (rRootage, Noiz2sa…) put a horizontal shump on Kongregate.

Any thoughts on this little browsergame?

Hmmm, liked the last one...but this one, not so much

Repetitive and boring, like most of Kongregate shmups

Hang on now! Kenta Cho's never made shit yet so maybe we're missing something- I see the green cubes charge up your life bars but that's as far as I've got with the mechanics...
...or maybe he's just getting more minimal like GearToyGear which seemed like a step backwards but was actually a step upwards

Let's just hope these games don't become so "pure" that they're unplayable...

Regardless of the play mechanics, it's abstract as fuck and I can't see shit. Boo. :(

Nah- gettin' it now people...
... pink cubes are spewed out from enemy sections and cause damage but you get lots of bonus points for grazing them,
the explosions generated by shooting enemy sections convert pink cubes to green cubes which charge lives ,
purple blocks can be manouvred by shooting at them or nudging them with your ship (which costs health) and they cancel the pink cubes
the silver platforms can also be nudged around at the cost of health and they cancel pink cubes as well as crunching enemies for green cubes
Sure there's lots more to it too...
...and I installed the Chrome Maximise Flash extension to play in fullscreen excellence!

...Kenta cho never done made no shit...never...ever...

...ever

It's really awesome with great music. But then again, it is too easy for a shmup from ABA games. I managed to score 1 million points after around 20 minutes of play.

I think its quite fun for coffee breaks.

This, 5 minutes and I have half a million.
But the music is ear sex.

also, playing on a trackpad is a cunt

and speaking of Kenta Cho, I saw this on the site and I am enjoying it a ton more than this: http://wonderfl.net/c/sdq4
Although, a lot is random and potentially undoable. Still fun, and if I wasn't lazy and hated ActionScript, I'd fork it and see if I could fix that.

Yup i wrote a retarded comment like usual on the game page.

Aside from being able to leech bullets and that one glitch where you instantly lose all five lives by touching one of the movable walls, and the old mouse control problem of being able to move through bullets, it's not bad.

Which is to say it is.

I really dislike mouse controlled shmups, ditto flash games but as a game this is a lot better than people are giving it credit for- wake up and get it!

Second!

Autofire was a great decision, against holding the mouse button or a key the whole run. Speaking of mice,
few other games use such precise controls to fly and dodge bullets, so the I think the shield should
re-charge at 1/4 rate, or less to compensate. I must have come back from death six times thanks to easy re-charges.

Also the left/right shot is not used as much as it should be, since it is the main button mechanic.

Since these games exist, would anyone like to see a full game (Donpachi, say) released as a browser game?

You can also teleport your ship if you rightclick and then move the mouse somewhere and left click to cancel the menu.

Funny how the largest enemy is also the easiest - just pointblank him and all bullets are converted to health.

This game is rubbish.

Game is fun, fine for what it is. Abstract, nice music, fun diversion to play for score. I dunno why this forum is so critical on the doujin stuff lately.

I agree completely- I don't like the mouse control but otherwise this is a fine game which seems to be getting a lot of crass ignorant criticism from people who simply havn't "got it" yet.
If you've ever played Torus Trooper or GearToyGear or noiz2sa endless mode you'd understand that this is about endurance and having an immersive experience (hence the bright colours, abstract shapes and great soundtrack). It's deliberately "easy" to allow you to build long runs of gameplay and get tranced out

I also notice that someone's got a 26mill run on the scoreboard so beat that you haterz...

I tried to beat your score but I didn't quite make it (I'm not registered tho.)

EDIT: Gotcha 949, 915

Maybe I should register.

EDIT: Ok I'm on there now. Fun game.

I agree with that. And it is harder than what I expected earlier. Still, that person with 26mil score must have played the game for at least an hour.

And he got that score after what .. one day? There are tons of games on Kongregate that are utter ass but bored/dumb kids have played for hours to try to get the top score.

Yes- but this isn't one of them. Open your mind

It is too luck-based to actually play it for score in sane mind :V
