Tempest 4000 - YES! YES! YES!

Well I hope you lot are happy now....moan moan moan from you T4K lot for the last month or so

Right? I'm probably the worst offender, and I'm stuck out of town without my game machine. I can't get it for a week.

I seem to be getting caught by a lot more flippers in this version. Probably due to the fact it takes longer to get the particle laser?

Presumably there is an art to dealing with flippers on the rim that I'm just not seeing. Any tips?

Hold still and timing in firing.

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm enjoying this immensely on the PC. I'm really looking forward to playing your VR stuff when it starts to come out on this platform.

Keep up the good work!

As I mentioned in the other thread, the undocumented lean ability helps with this. If you hold LT (L2 on PS4?), your claw is locked to one lane but you can lean your shooting edge into an adjacent lane, allowing you to pick off flippers on the rim before they can snatch you.

I want to thank Yak and Gilesgoat for making this wonderful game. What a step up from TxK! I loved the difficulty changes from the Vita version and really enjoyed the surprise music after I beat the game. Only issues I ran into was getting started (had to rename the atari.mp4 file so it would bypass it) and hitting start after beating the game does not return me to the main menu, I am just kinda stuck at the congoatulations screens. Cheers to both of you for having this finally released and I will be picking this up on PS4 as well!

Love the game - Thanks so much
I'm not very good yet, and I'll probably need to look up tips on the between stage bonus round - there must be a nack there!

I'm playing on an Xbox One X. Should it be 4K HDR or is that just on other platforms?

The game is great regardless though - I'll be playing it for years so great value whatever the price .

The speed and accelleration don't bother me since it affords a bit of analog nuance, but the deceleration is horrid. If I get up to full speed it takes nearly a full second for my ship to stop when I let go. It makes the whole thing feel crazy loose. I just learned about the break trigger, but that really changes the feel.

I hope we get trackball/mouse/spinner support to avoid the whole problem, and some options to tweak this in the near future. It's really getting in the way of enjoying an otherwise great game.

It should be 4K on the X, Pro and PC.

The PSN store doesn’t list 4K enhancement on any game page, so I guess it’s the same for Xbox?

Thanks Yak and Giles, I'm really enjoying the game and looking forward to playing it more this weekend.

I'm not being very successful in the bonus rounds, PS4 version - can't figure out which way I should tilt the controller at all.

Managed to notch up 4-5 hrs in game now and feeling it quite a bit more.

There's a chunk of levels around level 30 that seem a bit randomly nasty.
Or maybe I just skilled up a bit and things became a tad easier for a while.

Feels as if getting a powerup during Beauty extends the Beauty?
Sound levels seem to sit a bit better at FX 60 & Music 100 on my system. Maybe even FX 40.

It all gets a bit Space Giraffey later on, doesn't it? I'm liking that.

[Dave]

This game is ace! Thanks so much for making it Yak/Giles!!!

Currently loving this but if I had one nag, and this is just me really, is that it gets hard quite fast ... up to level 20 so far so ghod only knows what the remaining 80 levels will do to my brain :-)

That said, it's awesome, happy to have it, it's a Llamasoft classic once again with all the bells and whistles you can expect from Jeff :-)

You’re at the top of my friends leaderboard on Pure, so shut up!
