SE scrolling shooter game

[Kamog]

Wow, Ed, this is a really fun game! Thank you for creating it and letting us play it.

My high score so far is 2285. It's always those light cruisers firing diagonally that kill me in the end. There's too many shots flying around and I can't dodge them all. Once I lose one ship, my other lives don't Last long because it's pretty hard by that time.

Noticed that F4 switches between full screen and a window view. F1 brings up an empty info screen (handy for pausing the game). You can move diagonally by pressing an up/down key in combination with a left/right key (e.g. up and left to move diagonally up and to the left). Moving down is slower than moving up, which makes sense.

I noticed that diagonal movement doesn't always work... especially when you're trying to dodge those annoying diagonal shots! (Wonder why light cruisers have a better weapon than battlecruisers though...)

Why do I see pictures like this:

Which game is that screen from? The upper left corner of it looks like the Pacman game and the rest of it looks like the shooter game.

I didn´t need to post 2 fullscreen pictures to show how graphics look distorted
I've noticed that when I increase color depth from the 65k I use normally to 16M instead of looking distorted, pics look "underlined" with distorted details, but everything works too slow.
Maybe it's just my outdated machine, but there should be a way to solve this.

Andres,

Have you tried the game in windowed mode?

Hit f4 to toggle between fullscreen and windowed.

Give it a try if you haven't already, and let me know.

No window mode does not solve anything.
