yea that happens to me too sometimes, i don't know why it does that. I guess we can designate the tournament as open for buisness. It will stop on the eigth and the winner is well the winner.

Now get out there and blast some rocks!!!

I think I'm on about 1.2 million at the moment. But I've almost completed the Awards screen, which is just as much fun.

Why Ian?

All you have to do is double your score compared to your competition, then you sound like you own at that game.

Heh, just a tip... I turn all of the graphics settings to the lowest possible. That makes the screen way easier to look at, with all that blurring, it makes it seem like there really is a lot more enemies than there is. Helps a lot.

Flipping awesome game, didn't know these sort of games would give me so much joy. *Returns to gameplay*

Well I got up to 1.91 million on my first attempt with the effects switched off ... but it wasn't so much fun to play that way, so I switched it all back on and had more fun getting my 1.3 million instead

No seriously, what are those zoom things you are referring to? If there are "bombs" like in Geometry Wars, I am going to be very happy. I got over 1 million with just the firing weapons, and if there's some kind of bomb feature then I'd say it's pretty good

yea, i'm not sure either, i know there are bombs kinda. The octagonish powerups that throw out beams of fire.

@ruccus- never got to thank you and phalex for making me that tornado, thank you very much. You guys have me experimenting a bunch of things, right now i'm having trouble with the array dealing with particles. I'm trying to make it bigger, but other than that, we're looking pretty good.

Finally, I got my 1 million (1,134,350), well I say finally, its just my 4th run, it's flipping mental, those with over 2 million should all join a cult and commit mass suicide on the account of my envy and cold blood.
