Title: GridBlast
Post by: Retro on June 09, 2006, 08:51:18 pm

Developer(s) Name : Retro (RE7OFIT Studios)
Publisher(s) Name : Binary Phoenix
Players : 1 Player (With Online High Score Table)
Rating : E "For Everyone"

In the age of long loading times and 3D graphics, it's hard to really just lay back and play a simple and fun game. Those days are over thanks to:

GridBlast

.:Game Play:.

GridBlast plays like nothing you have ever played before, it uses the WASD keys to control bombs that explode in beautiful particle effects and the space bar to clear the screen with a giant blast. Move a missile shooter with the mouse and shoot with the left mouse button. There are tons of ways to play the game. The game's graphics are very modern and clean but stay true to their old-school looks. The music will keep you enchanted for hours on end, as the game can be played for two minutes or two hours. This game never ends, more and more enemy's come with increasing speed and variety, until you stop. Millions of possibilities, you can play the game only using the missile shooter, or not at all. Will you upgrade your missiles to heat seeking and super speed? It's all up to you. Compete for the highest score in the world by sending your high score at the end of a playing session.

.:Demo:.

WARNING THIS DEMO IS VERY OLD AND DOES NOT REFLECT THE GAME AS OF NOW

It's sweet, but I think the point of the game is a bit too simple... you should add more to it. :x
Still, nice work! :)

Alright fair people of ZFGC I have been sick on and off for the last little while so the game has been sadly pushed back a tad, but I am feeling much better now and the game is very close to being done. Only a few particle effects and some graphics updates left.

It's been some time since I updated this with some new info, so the first page has some updates and new screens. The game has been almost completely redone, but it's for the better. Also any suggestions for the game are only open until this Friday, so get them in!
