Reviews for "Neon"
Can you say "Asteriods on Steriods"? XD Good job!
Great job on this game. I found it very addictive, just as you intented. I just think a couple of improvements are up to par.
I think a background was needed! It was far too bland for far too many waves for far too long.
Ship upgrades, such as the fireing rate increase or something.
The enemies varied, but I think you should have made a menu list with the names of them and how you can defeat them. Speaking of enemies, there was a desperate need for a boss before each so-number of waves.
The music was techno-trippy, a perfect fit for the game. But there should've been an actual selection or variety.
Anyways, it was pretty good, and I enjoyed it. More please, :D

Thanks for the detailed review. Expect backgrounds of some sort, more powerups and upgrades aswell as bosses in future games in the same style.
Some details of enemies can be found in the instructions
FIX. THE. CONTROLS.
I'm sure mouse-only controls seemed like a good idea on paper. But in practice, they just don't work. Moving the cursor to both move and aim at the same time is EXTREMELY swkward, because I can't strafe. When enemies are pursuing me as tenaciously as that, and I can only fire at what's in front of me, I have two options: either stop and let enemies hit me as I take aim at other enemies, or keep stopping quickly, turning around, firing, and moviing, hoping that I score a hit. Either option is aggrivating. It's a pity- too. This had the potential to be an addictive shooter in the vein of Geometry Wars, but the controls ruined it.

What you descrive is part of the gameplay. It is supposed to be fast and challenging. I was planning on adding a control selection screen, but i felt it might affect scores, so i left it out. Due to the mixed views on the controls however (its seems to be a love/hate situation) i may well add it to any other games like this that i make.
i am the top 5
good game i like it
I like colors!
The game looks pretty good, the only bad thing I noticed with the graphics was the box around the spaceship. Dunno what can be done about that, but I guess it's a sprite thing. The gameplay was interesting and I liked all the powerups, but I didn't wind up playing long enough to check 'em all out because the slow fire rate made the game feel sluggish to me. Still, I like the concept, and look forward to your next submission.
