A game in 48 hours: Void Runner

[FireSlash]

I recently participated in Ludum Dare #20. Here's what I came up with.

Void Runner: http://fireslash.net/~fireslash/devel/ld20_reach.zip

If you've played Ikaruga, you're probably familiar with the rules.

Instructions

z - Shoot!

x - Change polarity!

c - Fire big-ass gun!

Arrow keys - Not dieing!

Hitting like colored projectiles charges your energy bar, for more powerful special attacks! Note that Blue projectiles

can't be absorbed.

There are 3 bosses, and the levels are technically infinite and self scrolling, but you'll prooobably never beat the third boss.

If the game crashes, you probably are missing XNA4 and/or .NET 4

I'll have to wait until work is over to play it. Looks cool though.

haven't tried to get very far yet but I'm kinda swamped with other stuff and shouldn't be playing in the first place
