Grid Wars 2 Screenshot Space Shoot Arcade Game

Grid Wars2 is basically a PC version of the popular Xbox 360 game, Geometry Wars. Made by Mark Incitti, this release features less special effects compared to the original but also new controls to cater for players who do not own a dual analog joypad.

Your small ship sits in a one-screen grid and vectorized enemies spawn to attack. Use your any-directional gun to stay alive while you rake in points. Along the way a few power-ups will give you a hand, and there's always the emergency screen-clearing bomb you can unleash

The hybrid option control allows a player to use both mouse and keyboard for ship movement as well as aiming their shots.

This game is incredibly unstable on my system. It segfaults after about 30 seconds of gameplay. This is typical of Blitz software. I used to program in Blitz 2D, and it really makes people write software cleverer than they are capable of writing, so Blitz stuff has a tendency to be unstable. Having said that, it would be a great game if it didn't crash. In defence of Blitz, it is probably what got me interested in programming.

  All I can say is WOW! posted by Anonymous @ 24.218.182.90 on Jul 27 2007 3:42 PM  
I was slightly skeptical at first when everyone says its _that_ addicting... I was dead wrong. First try only got me 276k im on my second try now and paused just to say... WOW! So far I still have two guys left and I'm up to something like 1.1M medium difficulty. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is awesome, this is actually pretty hard, it rocks! Im still going to have to play with it a little to get the sound working. I want to get some custom tracks on this. I want some fast blood-pumping electronica like in critical mass. This game has definitively made my top list of space shooter games. Highly recommended.

When I play, my ship, all the enemies, and the laser bullets are all white boxes rather that the images set up in the folders. What should I do?

I have this problem too. Anyone else have any ideas? I'm running Vista on a laptop with Intel graphics.

Vista "protects" you from evil things such as legally dubious content. Try this safe version -> www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=game&AppId=8400

  Music? posted by Anonymous @ 71.230.251.194 on Jul 21 2007 4:37 AM  
Is there anything I need to do in order to get the music to work properly?

Probably not. It's a BlitzMAX game, there's no source and they're Impulse Tracker files. Find an Impulse Tracker plugin for your favourite music player and play them in the background.

I am completely addicted to this outstanding piece of software. after playing for days, I managed to get 2,3 million points on hard difficulty - how are your high scores?

700k, after two days. I love this abstract graphics style, and the minimalistic controls. This game rocks!

I get this error when I try to run the game, any suggestions? Unable to calculate tex size

sounds like the programmer for this game is using blitzmax. If this is so, then I guess that the problem is that game is trying to load a texture before setting the graphics mode. You will have to contact the author to get this problem fixed.

Edit the config file and change default resolution to 640x480

Fix this by changing [Screen Width] and [Screen Height] in Config.txt to your current screen resolution.

Nevermind, seems it was just the original version. On the homepage.
