It is almost as incontrolable than FreeSpace is when you are hit by an AAA.
I believe practice would be the key to expropriate its controls.

[color=cc9900]It's quite good actually. If it had a pause button, I'd try for higher than level 4... Curse that lack of a pause button![/color]

It'd be "quite good" if the gravity wasn't so excessively strong or the thrusters weren't ridiculously weak. You start falling, there is no way in hell you can stop before you hit the ground. And woe betide you if you turn to shoot at a turret...

He's right, its hard as hell to dodge turret fire and stop yourself from crashing and drop the plasma container into the teleporter.

groovy. I've got something like this on my PDA. The only difference is that instead of trying to nab a ball and drop it in a teleporter, you have to pickup astronauts and then fly out of the caverns and back to the top of the level.

Very groovy.

you make lots of points if you do stunts, like hurl the pod across the level really fast. its kinda like golf.
Title: Latest Greatest Time-Wasting Flash Game
Post by: Hippo on March 15, 2004, 06:16:45 pm
as long as it enters the teleporter though :nod:


I got to level 8 (i think... the yellow one) last time... put me in 51st place...
Title: Latest Greatest Time-Wasting Flash Game
Post by: Nuke on March 15, 2004, 06:18:29 pm
it also figures speed into the scoring calculation. the faster your ship is on release, the more points you make. lang ranke sniping of the turrets helps too. also note i only got to level 4.

well once it's loaded the first time, by just clicking refresh it should just pop right up, because it's stored in the cache.

Oh, someone remade Thrust. Easier than the original though.
Title: Latest Greatest Time-Wasting Flash Game
Post by: beatspete on March 17, 2004, 05:03:09 am
I used to have a game like this for my CD32 (yes, the Amiga peice of crap).  Could have been called thrust, dunno.  Anyway, you were a little ship, it was more about shooting the other player than collecting crappy balls.
It had some intresting features, you could change the gravity and the air resistance, between anything to simulating space, or swiming through soup. Tremendous fun.
Oh, and it had more thrust - which this needs.
