What's your Operating System? Windows XP? 2000? 98? 95? 3.11? Or is it Mac OS? Or Linux? Or, oh you get the idea...

You're stuck at the title screen? (The screen with instructions and such.) Just hit escape.

Well, as long as you're enjoying the game then everything is all right.

O.O Epp! Thats a lot of missile!

[erikbarrett]

Alright, high score now 40,000+ But that's not my point.<br><br>I think I've managed to push your game to the breaking point, BSP. After I finally died in the last game, it waited 15 <i>minutes</i> - no exageration - for the screen to clear, giving me my score. I would've waited longer, but my lovely laptop decided to hibernate at that point. Too bad, as I would have no doubt gone over the 100,000 score, no problem. For a comparison, see my above screenshot? 3x to 5x the number of missiles on-screen. It would've taken another 30 minutes to clear up the screen, but hey...<br><br>On a side note, Run Away doesn't like to go through hibernation.<br><a href='http://www.geocities.com/erikbarrett/img/boomoops.JPG' target='_blank'>http://www.geocities.com/erikbarrett/im ... JPG</a><br>(Yes, that's 100% CPU usage...)<br><br>As for the game, I would recommend either a cap on how many missiles are on screen at once, or how many are added at once. Oddly enough, the longer you last after a certain point, the easier it becomes, because all the missiles keep running into each other. Like I said, either a maximum number of missiles on screen, or limit the number that can appear. (I'd say that "waves" of 16 would work nicely.)<br><br>Other than that, there were no permanent problems with my computer, and I really enjoy the game. Now let's see if I can get another screenshot of all those missiles. (Or better yet, keep the laptop plugged in, and see how high the score truely was. <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

I had that problem before but I kinda fixed it by making the missiles wait 2 seconds before being able to explode on contact of each other but I never expected anyone to be THAT good at the game...<br><br>I think I'll make the 2 second time limit increase as you progress and whenever missiles collide.<br><br>EDIT: I've made the update but my comp has trouble connecting to my site so... yeah...
