Nice graphics, decent game overall, but it's a little boring

I was leery of trying these games when i first saw them because of the screenshots. Man, I love them. Everyone should try it! I love the abstract graphics.. the game has a VERY distinctive feel.

Good game. I like the gameplay, the gfx, the sound, ... well: everything :)

There are only three things i don't like:

  1. Sometimes while playing it switches to windowed mode (in stead of staying fullscreen (very anoying)) - which is probably not a problem of the game but of another program at my competer, so don't worry about that
  2. Hmm, commercial D-compiler? - ow, but that's a problem of the compiler, not of the game
  3. The Z and the X keys on my keyboard aren't at the most usefull places - but that's probably a problem of my alternative keyboard in stead of the game
Conclusion: Very good!

Update: the fullscreen problem was caused by a screensaver :) - so if you have the same problem, try disabling screensavers.

I like these funky bulletML games. They play like late eighties arcade twitch games. The sound effects when a boss is damaged or killed have that low crunchy nastiness that a lot of Atari 2600 games had; that's a feature and not a bug by the way.
