"I know", says I, "I'll write tomorrow's SoCoder newsletter now, so that I don't have to do it in the morning, and can instead get right back to doing the important coding!" Nope.. Instead I was up until 3:30am doing the newsletter, and then didn't wake up until after 10, thus completely losing all the time I'd managed to save! D'oh!

With so many games to play, there's oodles of feedback for each. Let's see what RSKGames thought of this week's game!

@RSKGames

Overview: A fast paced circular bullet hell game. I liked it better than the ''Orbital Projections'' and ''The Trouble with Vents'' which till day I can never play properly. (I had to look both of those games up! I've made too many games!!)

Seems like @RSKGames has helped to uncover the reason the leaderboards are so bloomin' empty.

Spent a long time today fighting over how the control should work for our little Ball player.

Always evolving, the Framework needs more Scoreboard tweaking. I was hoping to get this done, over the past week, but the Radial Warning complications and lack of gameplay, ended up shifting my focus.

Over at GBATemp, user ZeldaPlayer67 asks.. Could you make a splatoon like game next where you compete with a cpu to color as much as you can within a certain time i would love that!

Frantic disc blasting ahoy!

I'm quite happy with how the game's turned out, but.. 1. It's been one heck of a struggle. and 2. It's really quite a hectic game!!

*phew* I've found it!!

#571 isn't coming together, AT ALL.. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to work out. Either it's too easy, and your bullets are too powerful, and the baddies can't reach you... .. or it's WAY too difficult, and the sheer insane bombardment of enemies is completely overpowering.

Picture the scene. A swarm of enemy are bearing down on you, and you have infinite bullets. You hammer the shooty key, and the enemy are thwarted swiftly, because they're right above you, and you needn't even aim. This is the issue that this week's game is currently having. Having the enemies swarm in more varied directions can lead to the game being more than a little unfair. On the other hand, reducing the weapons leads to even more unfairness, as you struggle to fire at the insanity...

Here is the tool .zip contains Windows exe, BlitzMax Sourcecode and this font. Hopefully the font's creator doesn't dislike that I've included it. If you find a better font (eg, one with the little serifs on) then let me know.

I thought that, for this game, having a string of enemies would result in a more difficult enemy to beat.
