Gridrunner Revolution OUT NOW }:-).

[Capybara]

I'm going to have to have curry tonight to celebrate!

Now there's an idea

[Salty]

It's here. Tempting me. I'll play it soon...

Just wanted to wish you guys all the best of luck with your latest release.

[Cullie]

7:30pm - Have to catch a plane to get to my missus to take me home to play GRR!!!
I did try and get it running on my Mac last night at 1:30am using CrossOver (WINE)
It failed miserably, but I did turn the cursor into an Atari Bee! That was worth the money alone!

Woke up this morning as excited as I was as a teen waiting for the postman to deliver a llamasoft c64 tape.

And I wasn't disappointed at all. Excellent.

Love the way you have balanced it so it's an easy "pick up and play" yet there is so much depth there to try and master it.

Don't want to sound like a fanboy, but seriously, this is an epic Yak. Thanks SO much mate!! All the time and effort was WELL worth the time. I hope this makes some serious cash. Keep pimping it. I know we all will too.

cheers

I've just done Korma mode, so I'll move onto Madras in a bit.

I take it you mean you've done the first 20 of 50 levels of Korma?

It said I'd completed it though . Doesn't matter, just means more levels to play!

Yes, you completed that section of levels.

Go back to the level select screen and you'll see only the first 20 of 50 are green/playable.

You need to play higher difficulties to open later sections of levels.

I've just completed Korma mode as well ... I <3 this game ... it is incredibly addictive and I can feel I'm getting better, but that there's huge scope to learn more, hone tactics, and get even better scores. (3.9m ... man, that sucks, but I'm getting there!)

I've just done Madras - bloody hell, think my eyeballs have melted!

[NickMon]

Just bought andf its downloading...well done cant wait to play !!

[disciple]

OK just been playing it.

I don't know what it is with Jeff's games but again this one's so easy to write off. But play it for a bit and it all starts to click.

Just been playing on later korma levels with the thrust ship. Holding very close to the gravity well allowing the bullets to arc around me to form a shield, then as baddies appear in front or to the left veer slightly right away from the well and your makeshift "shield" expands as bullets arc outwards and forward, and vice versa to the left of the sun for enemies on the right. Small manipulations of the mouse to control the flow of bullets. The ships are similar but the different bullet parameters of each one mean you have to play each differently with respect to the suns, which puts the focus where it should be, in learning to manipulate the arcs to your advantage.

So yes I'm enjoying this, wasn't too sure at first but yes me likee. =)

Still unsure about visibility though, again same as with previous games. I found on faster medium levels there was so much stuff flying round that I found it difficult to know what to dodge and what not to. Early days though, maybe I just need to learn to identify enemies a bit better.

Well done Jeff/Ivan, hope it does well for you guys. =)

got it installed on the dell. Works really really well i have to say really enjoying it, simple, and at least the korma levels are simple enough to realy get into the game and not get fustrated.

I know what you mean, and I'm sure someone looking over your shoulder would be 'wtf', but ... it gets to a stage where you almost feel what's going on, as much as see what's going on. It is ... hypnotic almost, and my scores reflect the fact that there's still a lot to learn, and get to grips with ... but I honestly feel, and I'm speaking as a casual gamer here, that it really is very playable, very easy to get to grips with, but which leaves you feeling there's a lot more to learn, and you can definitely see how you get better with the game.

My thoughts exactly. It becomes somehow 'instinctive', you know what to avoid and what to go for. Even though there's loads of things flying around, I know when I'm doing well and when I'm up shit creak yet, to a casual observer, it may look like I'm ALWAYS about to die any second!

This game is awesome. Brucey would say (Bruce Forsyth that is) - "Good game, Good game". I mean it - it has so much of the original gameplay mixed with the new tech stuff. It's definitely worth a look, also changing the shader model from 2 to 3, to see what the difference is and which version you prefer. The changes are very obvious graphics wise (much more intense), but might be missed as an option because this isn't the default mode (for my gfx card). It's definitely worth checking both versions.

Also a random apostrophe ---> ' <--- to annoy the apostrophe police
