Totally awesome. Just play it. BTW, your shots home in, so don't worry about precision.

Chrome was written in Java, apparently. They've had various bindings to OGL for a while, as well as the general Java3d api. This is well done, but it's not the pinnacle. Very good for a web-delivered game, however.

Lost the first one trying to recharge, and then I tried to test the recharging ramp (I just couldn't let it go), so I smashed into its pillars to see at which angle I need to enter it to GET it.

Anyway...twa's fun, don't think I cba to do it again.

I'd recommend sticking with the Destroyer, which has the heaviest armor and firepower, for most of the levels, since speed generally isn't that big of a concern. I seem to remember level 14 being an absolute *****; when you're faced with a lot of difficult enemies, try to pick them off one by one, and refuel/repair as often as possible. (Best advice on this is to slow your speed if you can; if you're being shot at, then just hope that your aim's on.) The driving game that the same group made is also a lot of fun. :)
