Paths to Æther is a simple Shoot 'Em Up game, with emphasis on game mechanic customization, the main idea is that, violence - portrayed through shooting - is one of the many paths to Æther, otherwise similar to nirvana or heaven. So you can think of it as being able to accomplish as much as you can before entering the Æther, in this case it just so happens that the higher the score you attain for kills the better you will feel about it at the end! ( that's if you enjoy inflicting pain on others

)

the game has 2 main modes of play

Level Mode (Difficulty mode)
- here you can choose between 3 different levels of difficulty + a practice level

Time Trial Mode
- here is where the nitty gritty customization is held
- you can customize
- the speed of the projectile
- the rate of fire
- the rate at which enemies spawn
- and you can also set the place of the turret, that way you have the best spot to shoot from, or you can move the turret around just for the heck of it

Looks good (although changing the mouse cursor to a double headed arrow on hover is what you might call original website design...)

Not too impressed by this. Feels a bit too simple.

ok then i guess you guys enjoy more purpose in games :P fine, you'll be more than satisfied with a second addition to the planned series (though it might take up to possibly 3 years XD, i just hope you can wait that long)

Gah! That midi reset pause is killer! Not bad, though.

the midi pause? ok fine, if you guys hate that so much, i'll make it longer :P how's that? but for some reason, TGF shortens long midi, so if it sounds weird, it's your own fault :P give me like a day or 2, and i'll see what i can do

I just meant that when the game pauses to replay the midi, it allows all the enemies to swarm the turret, making it unneccessarily difficult to continue intact.
