I've just released my new game. I've done the programming and music. My brother did the graphics. Enjoy! Here is some lines about the game ;

"Chaos Pilot is a simple Shoot'em Up. Your main goal in this game is to beat the four levels while avoiding getting blasted to pieces by the Doom-Army. The story? Well, lets just say that the Doom-Army is a bounch of bad guys and you are the good guy. Upon starting the game you must press Y or N on your keyboard to choose fullscreen or windowed mode. You can also press left or right to view a simple gameplay explanation. The game has four (long) hard levels each with its own super evil boss at the end. Can you beat them all? Can you unlock all the achievements? GOOD LUCK."

Great - I like it ... good job. Nice classic side-scroller. Minor letdown: had to add US keyboard layout. Bigger letdown: I suck ... managed to get the initial speed boost despite of my inability. :D

hehe, yeah, i've gotten some feedback that its a bit hard :P Its not hard for me though ;) I'll add a difficulty feature in the next version.

[OveMelaa]

what do you mean with the US layout thing? Doesnt it work normally? Cursors to steer and Z & X to shoot?

[eisprinzessin]

Y and Z are switched on German keyboards. So it's not very comfortable for playing. Microsoft has a nice page on which you can lookup any keyboard layout (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964651.aspx).

The difficulty is alright. I've become better - met the first stage's boss ... next time he will be dead. :mad:

[OveMelaa]

Well, that could be fixed easily. Ill add a keyboard config thingie :P

Overall the game is fun. Overall i suck at these types of games but some things that i must say.

1.the back thing being able to kill you was pritty annoying.

2.were in space here dude the experiance thing's should float no go peeeeeeeew all the way down like theres gravity.

3. I would like to keep my powerups when i advance to a new stage.

4. Yeah its hard.

-When 'Spikey Mikey' hits the player he will reverse his movment.
-Change controls by editing the save.dat file.
-Press F12 in the main menu screen to reset stage progress and Achievements unlocked.

Thanx for the update.
-When 'Spikey Mikey' hits the player he will reverse his movment.Was wondering why he does this. Didn't think he hit me ... but I'm often very close to him. I find you can use this to your advantage.
-Change controls by editing the save.dat file.

Great ... but if I edit it to Shoot=Y then my rear gun doesn't fire ... so I play with default settings and US keyboard layout still. :cry:

For the first time I checked my achievements - I thought I was getting better at playing, but achievements boost your ship. I might reset them some day ... will F12 reset them at once or are you asked to confirm?

So, I beat Spikey Mikey ... finally. But if I spam him with bombs (like 20 in one go), then the music ends. :undecided:

Took a sneak peek into the second stage ... there are evil-fast, badass bombers ... I'm scared :eek:
