Tried your game, what i liked most was the controlls, very smooth.

The feature with falling blockers is something ive never seen in a spave invader game before, and it worked quite well.

Since im at work I didnt try the sound very much so no comment on that.

What i would like to see is a hi-score system and i would prefer a little bigger playfield. Running 1280x1024 on a 19" TFT and it was pretty small which makes it alittle hard to see.

Else a great game!

Can you tell me what lauguage and API you used?

thanks sep!
I used blitzmax (www.blitzbasic.com) is easy to learn if you like or ar interested in learning OOP. it is quite powerfull. documentation is not easy to find but I have learned from sample code and sample games included in the aplication software.

regarding sound, I used microsoft sound recorder to record sounds of the actual games. so there is quite a nesty hiss in the background.

if anybody is interested in the source code let me know and I will email it. I am not a professinal programmer but I have been doing this as a hobbie for many years.
the game is not thourougly documented but not to hard to understand it is under 1,000 lines of code.
