Spaced Invaders 2

[Shockwave]

Here's the follow up to Spaced Invaders. Unfortunately I do not have the source to this game any more and there are bugs! This version was only meant as a preview for testing purposes and there is no frame limiter on it.

If you have set up your video card to a very fast refresh rate then this game may be unplayable or very, very difficult.

It's meant to be set at 70hz.

Anyway, here it is for you to download and play. It isn't a demo I know but it's a laugh!



Here's the file (2mb) ;

Shockwave yo man the source is in the data folder.
I didnt know if you knew that after saying you lost the source to it.

[Shockwave]

Thanks man, I didn't know that the source was in that zip, I'll leave it as it is for now

Roly, I will surely finish this game one day soon and include the rest of your great tunes.

By the way, 195500 is a sick score! Well done.

[Shockwave]

Got a 156,400 today (not bad for someone with only one good hand!)

This is one of the better space invaderz ive played .
Its addicting too, and this will hopefeully be my 1st game

[Shockwave]

See if you can top 200,000 It will be difficult though, this game is purposely very difficult. it's a follow up to an older version I did that you can get from the old site;

Lots more demos there too

[TheArchitect]

OOOOH you know what I noticed??
In one of your demo's the "DBF Board Intro" you use a riff, slow song.
The same riff is used here in the techno, and it fits in well too!
good job roly, techno's the way to go for spaceshooters
sounds awesome.
btw, after several attempts i cant top 200k :p

peace out

[Shockwave]

200k is a sick score
The tune is a remix of a classic Phenomena demo tune on the Amiga

[TheArchitect]

kool stuff.
highest so far 60k

[Shockwave]

A few hints if you want to go for a huge score..
This is not technically cheating, I didn't limit the FPS in this game, it was meant to run at 70fps, some systems have a faster refresh so you could change your video card settings to get a slower refresh to make it a little easier.

Don't waste your bullets when you have a power up, also there are bonuses for accuracy and speed in clearing attack waves.

If you shoot the enemies in certain order you also get bonuses.

[Shockwave]

Hmm, that's strange, the url you posted doesn't seem to be working for me there Deleter.

[TinDragon]

I cant get Deleter's link to work either 

As for the game, I personally prefer the first one you made Shockwave. This one is ok but something about the first one makes me go back and play it every now and then. Maybe a freebasic remake of the first version next

[Shockwave]

Cheers TD, I like this one best myself because it's harder, but you're not the only person to ever say this about the game, I had some emails saying exactly the same thing. The first one is still on the old dbf website if anyone feels like downloading it;

I love that game

The effects are freakin' awsome.
*Short comment. Need to go back to play the game*

[Shockwave]

Thanks Psy, glad you like it Not everyone can cope with the difficulty.
I had so much fun making the hidden bonuses in this game and the different weapons. I might even make version 3 one day 

[taj]

Wow - so well executed. It was beautiful really.
My high score is embarressing and not in a good way.

[Shockwave]

Lol It was also one of my very rare forrays into the world of pixel art! I'll have to make a SI3 one day.
