So many of you remember my last blog with my newly announced game, right? I thought so.

Anyway, I've been hard at work on it and now it's ready for another testing version. So without further ado, the download link.

To do list:

-Finish tutorial

-Finish online high score tables

I've added a menu for starters, along with many other changes and additions. Included is difficulty and handicap. Unfortunately, particles aren't finished yet, so don't bother turning these off.

Here's your goal. You no longer need to finish the game so you can tell your scores. All you need to do now is finish the game in each difficulty and state how hard it was for you to pass.

This means trying out the new Impossible mode.

Also, there is a highscore table, but as soon as I had it working, it broke, so don't try checking the leaderboards yet.

Good luck on Impossible guys.

And finally, some screenshots.

I think that the difficulty bonus should be higher because I play on easy and got a high score :p I don't know but impossible should give me a higher score I think.

also the accuracy bonus is difficult to get when you get a better weapon since the bullets fly everywhere.

Also two ships appeared in one of my games after I accidentally took the tutorial I couldn't control it though.

Easy difficulty bonus is 0. The default setting is normal, so you played on normal.

This is true. I might leave it this way because it requires you to decide whether you want the accuracy bonus or time bonus. Twin Sweeper isn't hard to get a good accuracy with; all you do is tap the Z key.

That's odd…I guess I didn't test out the tutorial entirely.

You should've made the difficulty bonus a percentage… like I told you >_>

Yay for having to powerup to be able to kill anything by crashing (Didn't work so well on Impossible). It seemed to reset to normal after playing on Impossible

The shield is your best friend on Impossible.

It's a geo-rocket, you half-wit. You wouldn't understand even if you saw the side-view of a shuttle.

PY 15 years, 12 months ago

Yeah, it's not a plane, it's a GEO ROCKET.

There is a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE, and they don't look EXACTLY the same (if you look really hard)
