Hi! - Finally finished up PixelBlast! This is something I started way back after I finished RetroShoot but never had time to finish it till recently. I wanted to code something in a "arena" style shooter but kept the same easy to play format which means mouse only play.
Yah, it can be a little confusing at first because you auto shoot towards the center and then click the mouse button to strafe, and then click again to go back to auto center. But after a few levels it all makes sense. :)
I had fun coding the particle explosions and fx. I personally think it's fun as hell to play this game. The upper levels are very hard, only the best players will make it to the final boss.
By the way, if you make it to level 15 you can unlock the bonus game "RetroBreakout". This is basically a-whole-nother game included with PixelBlast. Mixes the retro look of PixelBlast with the particle explosions, etc, and adds it to the classic Arkanoid/Breakout genre. ;)
Have a great day!
