Premise
Star Blitz X is a 3d first person shooter that’s homage of the 1980's and 1990's arcade light shooter genre like Duck Hunt, Time Crisis and House of The Dead. It uses the same game mechanic of applying a defense tactic to position, point and shoot from those past games.

Also when you on the configuration of the game to which make sure that the graphic quality is set to Fastest if your computer or laptop is slow.
At the moment we are solving the problem for slow pc of why it is not loading faster to the game. It can be playable, but mostly on new pc or laptop for the require system that is discuss above. Mean while, we are including a webGL real soon.
Mama mia, ..11 minutes loading is very bad, why not some dynamic loading when needed. This will kill the cat.
Dear Bazlik_Commander,
Thanks for replying to us. Sorry for the loading screen problem to which we are immediately handling it with any option to solve it. Its still playable, but only for updated pc or laptop. In its place to were we are going to launch the webGL version of the game. But, the only problem is that it would not accept the animation for the game. We are working on that too.
Great News. We already updated the demo for Star Blitz X based
on the slow performance of PC and laptop. Lets us know if the loading screen continue to lag, and we see to it right away.
Would be really nice to use the mouse left click to fire.
