This is the crate.

An evil villain is tossing huge versions of those crates from the sky into the city below!

You have to use your laser gun to blast the crates before they hit the city!

The game currently features one level.
Oh, and I didn't add the 'city' yet.

I thought it was fun! 72 people died the first time I tried lol.

But did you know that you can just hold the mouse button down and it will shoot the crates? Or was this on purpose?

Ah okay.

I downloaded the new version (You did make it harder!)

And I only let 2 boxes loose and 16 people died.

Nice game, although i suck at it. I think everyone died. Great aesthetics - city looks really nice, and the crate, plus the disintegration effect is pretty awesome. You could do with finding some sounds for it, and by offering a restart at the end, instead of having to load the whole thing again.

I found the mouse not sensitive enough, but this may well be related to Windows Desktop settings, screen resolution and that, so i don't know what you can do about that. Perhaps you could have a mouse sensitivity setting text file.

BTW, looking at your screenshot, you may want to look at where the laser beam is in the draw order ( ie what image number is used), zwrite etc. It seems the laser is drawn correctly relative to the crates, but is not transparent over the background.

You need to turn off lighting for the laser beam (It goes black at night)

It would look good if you textured it with a glowing texture, so it is white in the middle, and then goes to red as it fades out to transparent at the edges.

Thanks bran flakes. I'll put your score up in the first post.

Dr Tank, thanks for the nice criticism. I'll definitely look into it for the next demo.

Dr Tank & Diggsey, yeah, I have to fix the laser. I tried setting the lighting to not affect the object, but then it just stayed white. It's a cylinder made in DBP colored red, so I guess I should try the 'glowing texture' thing that Diggsey mentioned. I'll see how it turns out.


Thanks for trying the game guys.

Make it start easy, then make it get harder! Until it gets impossible!

I missed 15 and there were 120 Fatalities

I think you need to make it a full game with like 10 playable levels and a menu. And power-ups, and some boxes that are good and if you shoot them you lose points or something...

Darimc, that was the plan. You'll see more and more of that in the next demo, and eventually it'll turn into a full game. Thanks for the suggestions
