this reminds me A LOT of deluxe galaga's meteor storm, a bit too much to give this a thumb up

Live footage presentation

Well deserved, slick and smooth and great audio track.

I've always been a massive fan of deluxe galaga (and the meteor storm bonus game), and the atari didn't have anything like it. r0x is a basic single player and two player competition game with some clever score mechanics for the ste that I originally designed back in 2008 and TomChi coded for outline 2009 :)

Give it a go - it's fun :)
SHOOT SOMETHING!!! ;D

... Seriously, though. I wanted explosions so bad when I first saw it ;). That would have looked so sweet.

Original quote from Tomchi: "This is a peaceful game!" :)

Just tried it quickly on this machine without the sound, it's already quite nice, good work. Will check it this evening with the sound to get the full experience :)

The presentation is great and the music is lovely. The game is a bit simplistic, but it just looks too good to not thumb it up. :-)

Neat little one. But gets too hard too soon imho.

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

Despite the fact it says "version 1.00" in the nfo, this is not the final definitive build - it's actually 0.97. The final will be more balanced (esp. the 2-player mode), feature a few small bug fixes and optimised code, highscore saving and a bigger soundtrack (including a new sndh from crazy-q).

There will be a website for the game soon, but until then please use the feedback thread on the dbug forum to report any bugs or suggest changes you'd like to see: http://www.dbug-automation.co.uk/

For now (to avoid bug action) don't do the following:

(a) quit the game and reload it without a cold reset.
(b) play a two player game, then play a single player game.
A slightly improved version can be found here (on the game website): http://www.rgcd.co.uk/r0x/

Expect some big updates to follow as we approach the final version.
Cool game!

@ heavystylus

after reading some of the nfo (waaaay to much for me to read), i can now see that you actually wrote about Deluxe Galaga, i just mentioned my thoughts without knowing the facts ;)

Thumbs up for the work then ;)

As said during the compo "sponsored by UN" :) Very polished game, I wonder how this smoothness is done in gfa.

nice one. seems tomchi is mastering a lot of arts.

Great game! Really polished and it's amazingly smooth for GFA Basic :)

It's not "real" GFA - I have seen the code and it pokes the Blitter like mad, GFA is just used as a sort of special macro assembler here ;)
According to Tomchi, it preshifts everything (resulting in the 2MB RAM minimum limit)

It is nice and smooth, no doubt! Waiting for the definit final :)

afaik poke is a legal gfabasic command :)

The new version is good but it's really too hard.
hehe - people email me complaining that it's too easy as well, so I guess you can't please everyone :D

r0x is intentionally aimed at the more hardcore gamer - the top score is currently held by Xerus at 1,540,008 ;)
I guess the name says it all :)
