Well here it is, the "Too early to show mix" of Orbs.

No preloader, so stick with it ( About 700k )

I figure this post is more a show and tell as opposed to anything more. There are lots of bugs so I'm not really after reports ( Thanks ), this is very WIP, and I've only really posted it here due to reasons outlined in the post from the other day.

The gameplay will be more refined in the final version, "Campaign" mode will be the primary game type ahead of arcade ( There's not even an option for it yet ), and there are quite a few more baddie types and a lot of love to go into it yet.

A quick spurt of instructions:
Your objective is to protect the Orb. As long as it's got power it can re-generate your ship. WASD or Arrow keys move you around, aim and shoot with the mouse, P to pause.
Some of the options work ( Stats for example, although there are some unfinished ones in there, and a lot more to go in, along with a lot more medals ), but most don't.

It's mainly a case of looking around and watching the particles right now, but they are quite pretty so far.

As I do more work on it I'll flesh the posts out about the tech. side of it as I've gone to quite a bit of effort to get this bad boy running as fast as possible ( Which is sheer bliss. In real life you never have the time to even write the word optimise never mind doing it ) and hopefully development will go onlong in fits and starts like it has since the project started 'til one day it can go free into the world able to stand on it's own two feet.

Enjoy.

Squize.
