Why, yes it's a little later than I said but I had a heap of stuff to do...Bloody Christmas sometimes!

Anyway 'ere:

And watch the Newground's mob zero bomb it 'cause of it's difficulty and that it's not a clone of some tower defense.

Yeah, hope you like it. I can finally mark this game finished after about 3 years! Haha.

Oh I am doing a Kickstarter for it, but I doubt it'll get funding, but anyway, 'ere is the page for that:

Best flash game I've played in a while!
Amazing work!

Going to try some more, but first I'd like to add it to my site.

The flash file is huge though, 14mbs is a little much for a flash game. I'm thinking it's the music. You could stream it from a cdn. I use Rack Space for my flash game music hosting. It's pretty cheap and shortens your players download times.

UPDATE: Added the game to my site here: <A HREF="http://www.soapcow.com/action/sole-gunner.html">http://www.soapcow.com/action/sole-gunner.html</A>

I bumped up the resolution a bit, but the loading screen doesn't match. No big deal I suppose.

After playing it a little more it seems like the game doesn't have much of a learning curve. It starts off very difficult. It's a shame too because it could be a bit more fun if the game was a bit easier at first and then slowly ramped up. Maybe space the enemies out a little more.

The levels are also a little short. I know you're trying to get people to fund a more complete game, but how do we know it won't just be more of the same?

I'll make a download page for it Rikus! No problem!

14mb is pretty big aye UrbanMonk, I was aiming for around 8-10mb but oh well. It's the music as well as the graphics sadly. It's a bit of both.

I tend to have a thing for making hard games...I think I just accidentally do it 'cause of just play testing it so much. The MMF2 flash exporter has a bug when it comes to resizing loading screens sadly. (Along with transparent counter bars too!) There is a lot I would do differently if I ever made something similar, like add more shooting points, different control schemes and a difficulty setting. I guess it was just a test for something bigger which I doubt will happen now. (Tbh I'm happy the Kickstarter isn't going great 'cause I wouldn't mind a rest from these types of games.)

And nope, the full game would/will have more levels and space to it. The only reason everything is shorter in this flash game, is because MMF2 isn't too great at optimizing the flash files so they run smooth. Less stuff, smaller levels the better it runs.

I wouldn't worry about older machines, unless a lot of your friends have them.

It runs fine on all the machines I've played it on.
