That's actually a pretty interesting idea! Playing the game from the perspective of the tank would be an interesting twist... maybe hard to see what's going on but interesting none-the-less.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback and glad you liked the game! I'll keep an eye on your channel :-)

Well you're Earth's last hope of stopping the alien invasion... so you're going to have to get on with it anyway!

But no, it's not as difficult as it looks. We had to balance the number of enemies to make it challenging while still letting you see what is going on. Rotating the camera is optional and actually quite natural when you try it. Besides, the game starts nice and slow :-)

To follow this up, we are now on Desura! We don't have the Linux version yet though (it's still in the pipeline) so it's Windows only for now.

Sorry for the slow reply but I missed this comment. Anyway, we do intend to bring the game to Desura and a few other distribution platforms. We want to get the Linux version working before we come to Desura though, so it will probably be a month or two.

The Linux port isn't complete yet, but we hope to have it available within a month or so.

Pretty much. We've had to adjust the mechanics for 3D and have added a few powerups, but your right about the inspiration. Hopefully it will appeal to people's sense of nostalgia :-)

Yes, there are some inevitable comparisons with Voxatron here. Both games are built upon a similar kind of technology and have a retro feel to them. I think ours is prettier (espessially the lighting) but they have superior physics/destruction at the moment. I particuarly enjoyed cutting down trees and watching them collapse in that game.

In terms of gameplay, I would probably say that ours has a more arcady feel. It's the kind of game you can pick up and play for 20 minutes while your dinner is cooking. Each time you play you start from the beginning and you just have to get as far as you can before you run out of lives. A lot like Space Invaders really ;-)

I uploaded this video again because the quality was terrible last time and it kept stuttering. Hopefully it's better now...
