EDIT: I've just made my title screen so here it is:

The specials are automatically initiated by picking up special powerups dropped by enemies, and they last for a few seconds
I would also like to point out that the asteriods are only temporary, (they are from Mark Overmars example which this is based on, so I'll be making my own asteroids soon)
Looks pretty nice. Is the resolution going to be that low though? One point. You should probably outline the ships with some colour. It might just make them look a *little* nicer :)
Thanks!!
The resolution is 320x240(menu)640x480(ingame) becuae it makes the graphics crisper, but there is also no black border around the screen. I've also put the black outline on the ships deliberately because I want then to look slightly cartoony like the backgroundLooks like a good game. Finish it.
I will, but I need mission ideas, I want 30 of them, but I want them to be varied.
so far I have these missions in mind:Asteriod destroying missionescort missiontransport missionrace missionboss, (obviously)I need another 5( 30/10= 3 missions of each type)I'll give creditthe pheonix doesn't sound too balanced
hmm… maybe you're right…
I'll reduce the speed to average.
