- psbpv3o, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17wow, thats one of the best online space shooters I've seen. I actually wasn't completely annoyed by the music and it actually takes skill to do well.
digg - BioHazardEP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12physics based...
o rly? - BasouKazuma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Bottom right hand corner?
- Diggtatorship, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Played one round, made it to wave 37 with 2,000,000 points. My finger is tired.
A good tip that it took me a long time to figure out is that after charging you can shoot a ton of big shots if you fire them really fast. This turns makes the bosses a cakewalk.
Edit: HAH! I made the high score board! thats a first :D - elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7At the first wave of level three, my enemy stopped moving or reacting to my shots when I 'killed' it. The game was stuck there and I quit. Still, the game was quite fun.
- MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If there's nothing to collect and you just have to shoot the enemies, you can go to the border and fly (counter-)clockwise when you rhythmically hit the control keys. Makes it harder for the enemies to hit you.
- knuckleskin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4anyone else noticed that if you hold down your mouse button the weapon powers up - zelda style!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Basically any online game these days is labeled "physics based". Annoying, really. Only acceleration and maybe inertia.
- ahawks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah that was my gripe too... "physics"? a/s/d/w actually move you left/down/right/up (respectively). Physics would involve accelerating in that direction, as Asteroids did decades ago.
- jm1234567890, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes, that seems to be the idea.
- newbietheatre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I found this game very enjoyable and would probably waste a few minutes on it again.
- agimat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This plays similarly to the old arcade classic Star Castle which i enjoyed as a kid.
Found a PC re-make here if someone's interested (not my site, nor have i tried this version).
http://project-apollo.net/game/ - AlanHolcome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yup. Great game. I like games that have an easy setting cuz I be an underachiever.
- itsawebsite22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Same here.
- johnalan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ Keloran
You need to go out more! :D
Good game tho, amazing what can be done in flash - DuoPros, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Three words.
Firefox+Adblock+Filter.G - twe4ked, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this happened to me once
- tau09, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Awesome, I got 9th place on normal.
- Tolzmaniac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i just got the physics quote from flashplayer.com
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Tough to play on a trackpad, don't feel like getting my mouse out right now.
Game looks great though. - DuoPros, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I got to the exact same point as you, wave 37. By then there are so many bullets flying around its not funny.

FULL SCREEN - jasonsfakename, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1***** virus scanner popped up and killed my last guy!! AHHHH!!! Great game though.
- zediker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2verry verry easy game. Just hug the walls while moving in a 360 and you will never get hit and all the enemies will, just keep pushing that blaster button, and pick up the occasional health box...
- chilekillr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Easy Mode first try:
chilekillr 7,861,220
10th on the leader board. - ddrirc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19th place. :)
Not for long though, probably. - ronin2040, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1me too :(
i tried ramming him on screen, but he stays all gimpy and loopy and refuses to take damage - Robomonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very easy and fun game. My only problem with it is that it runs so slowly! It chugs after I have about 3 or 4 explosions on screen!
- Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i got to wave 43 and beat 2 bosses on my second try i was aiming for level 50 on easy
- BigDPez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1All right!! Another geometry wars clone .
/sarcasm - ronin2040, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Did anyone notice that you seem to earn LESS points from combos on higher difficulties?
On easy, killing 4x lvl 2 enemies=8000 combo bonus
On medium, killing 4x lvl 2 enemies=6500 combo bonus
On hard, 4x lvl 2 enemies=5200 combo bonus
Not to mention that higher difficulties drain a LOT more energy and health per shot....
Kind of ruins the point of higher difficulties if you want a good score :( - ronin2040, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1charge to full, then rapidly fire=win
sorta seems like its by design o.0 - netburnr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12m my first try. That is a fun game
- Jadael, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They don't arc. Every projectile follows a completely straight path.
However, their point of origin - you - moves. - blazen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mine broke at like lvl 50 or whatever. One enemy left on the screen and he just froze and is unkillable now :(
- wafermouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ehh, the only skill involved is remembering that the directional controls are not relative to the craft's attitude.
- Jadael, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Um, pushing in a direction DOES accelerate you in thet direction.
It's not "physics based" though. That'd be a game where the physics are the focus of the gameplay. This does -have- physics though.
I found it's easier tog et around the field by bouncing off the walls rather than trying to thrust in the direction you want to go- that tends to just slow you down and create orbit-like movement. Bouncing lets you avoid missiles and move around quickly, once you learn to bounce where you want to and not just fly around the board and into enemies. - ianmurrays, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how the heck do you get past the first boss :S:S xD
- slicedoranges, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I got 58th highest score on first try...not too bad
- BBHN, on 01/29/2008, -0/+0hotnewz.tv did a story on pixel blaster today
http://link.hotnewz.tv/services/link/bcpid13708677 ... - blitzkun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Very nice ambient music. I played through it once for the first time. My high score got to #5 on easy.
Great time-killer. - nathanchase, on 05/06/2009, -1/+1Awesome web game - reminds me a bit of my favorite arcade shooter Gyruss
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyruss - nksoccer13, on 10/12/2007, -2/+233 first try. In reply to sliced oranges.
- Spazkake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I quit at 65
- CanOfMDAmp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Uh oh.
Check out the "Highscores" page.
I can't even tell how I ranked. - TheChozoElder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yey:) first try, 1st place (on easy XD)
Great game:D recommended;) - elyobelyob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Pop-ups all over the place. As good as the game is, they can f**k right off.
- TonyCubed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Intense is a little misleading, it's just basic game physics! :P
- Mookeh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hehe, they got those explosion sprites from Klik 'n Play. Good times, good times.
- generalsticky, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I got 22nd on high score list on first try. :o suprised myself. Great game!!!
