New game : Earth Attacks !!, Simple old school shooter game

I am testing a new development platform. So I have made me a little old school shooter just to test it out.
So to let people test it, I will release it as a Beta for now.
Let me know :
- if you can't run the game.
- Have graphic issue.
- Sound related issues.
- Other stuff.

The Game has Problems to play more then 1 Sound at the same Time. The Music Stutters when there is a Explosion etc. I didnt found other Bugs.

Thanks for checking it out.
Yes thats allright. Im only using 2 sound channels. One for the midi music and an other for the game sounds. So thats fine.

Ohh, i did not see that you wrote that the musioc stutters when there is a explosion sound. It wasent just the music that starts over(rewind) ? This seems to hang the game for a sec or so.

The Music sometimes is completely gone for the moment another Sound appears

I just tried this game out, and it's a fun little game.

I did find a graphics bug. In about wave 9 or 10 when those big jets that require about3 or 4 hits from a level 6 laser appear, they have a green line along the bottom and one side. I'll try and give you some more info on it when I have time to test it a bit more, unfortunately I didn't get the wave number and I died in that wave and the game doesn't show the wave number the game ended in.

There's also a button on the leaderboard that's out of position, half the button disappears of the leaderboard window. when I clicked on the button it closed the leaderboard so I'm assuming that's what its supposed to do, but the label is not visible...

anyways, I'm looking forward to your next update of this game.

Yes you are right. Im doing a rotation of the graphics and the "F16" seems to get a blue'ish line in the bottom and one of the sides as i recall.
Its probably due to the routine that i have made for rotating graphics. I will look into that.

about each 4.00-4.30 minute the music will rewind which will halt/hang the game for a sec or so. Strangely enough im using a the internal OS media player so i should not be a problem. But this helps me to choose an other solution for the "big" games i will be doing.

Are you running the game on a Wincows XP machine, I think i had a simular problem on a windows XP machine i tested the game on ?
I think that the new button type on some of the pages like leaderboard might only be competible with Windows 7. If thats the case i have to evaluate the use of these new button types.

Yes, I'm using WinXP, SP3

pretty fun game, btw how many waves are there? only thing i can point out is that the red messages would be more readable in the actual space than over the planet

works well on win7

I played it on win7 too.

okay. I have to do sometihng about the new button types if on Windows XP then.

For now there is 20 waves, but i do not know if its possible to reach the last wave before i make the last things which will add blaster canon by each of the green fields, helping the player sucure these areas.

Also the enemies should also move from side to side on the higher level which they do not do at the moment this should increase the difficulty.

Are you planing on adding a way to buy more of those bombs?

Yes. I was plannig it, but it seemed to easy. But when All the things are finished I have to test it out again.

I see.

I was just wondering about that because in the later rounds it becomes almost impossible to shoot everything with your lasers, but buy then I've usually used up all my bombs. Still, to prevent the game from becoming too easy the price would have to be high, I'd think.
