Its okay, I appreciate it for what it means to the game creators. Its just to similar to Alien hunters or Galatic Wars to make me too happy.

Wow, it has some amazing animation and it's fun, but the music features on some of the games you guys around here have made have been better than this. [You guys beat Microsoft, woohoo!] Though the feature that shows whether a song is DRMed or not and then doesn't give you an option to play it if it is DRM, that needs to be standard in all games until MS fixes the DRM issue.

Ace1tk · 05-21-2008, 12:09 AM

I mean i love the games everyone posts on the site but the animation for this game is top notch and graphics and great it runs smooth on my Zune 30 but couldnt you guys implement your own code for a better mp3 player and change what you dont like to improve or add more features. You guys on the site are really good you could make this game a ton better though. Microsofts only done a half finished job

I second that. The games some Zuners have created beat this one, easily.

I have been trying to download it It connects and then says it has opened 618K so far. It just stays there.
Can some one message me the zip file or send the zip file to rockman87@hotmail.com

cable729 · 05-21-2008, 10:49 AM

I got over 85,000 and got to level 8... this is the best game so far, but scrambled albums comes close. I also had a 1600% multiplier lol...

BTW, I can't find the scrambled albums post, where is it?

mikenike · 05-21-2008, 12:06 PM

this is a really great game - nice graphics and good gameplay. I rate it a 4/5 stars, because its not really that interesting, but its still really fun to play.

bobbyeggo · 05-21-2008, 12:39 PM

This game is amazing. This is what I wish they were all like. This is just beautiful.

soccerfreak24 · 05-21-2008, 12:42 PM

Wow, now that I've played this game, I like it over. Granted, it coudl be better, but the graphics are really nice.

Keep in mind the differences between the Alien Game and the publicly made games:

- We've had access to the Zune framework for about two weeks; who knows how long Microsoft has had an internal version working.
- Most of the publicly made games spent next to nothing on art assets, Microsoft likely spent a lot of money paying artists to create those sprites
- Most publicly made games are created by single people; this game was likely made by a team of professional (or former professional) game developers

I'm not trying to knock it; it's a fun game. I'd just suggest trying to keep the "this game rocks, all the rest suck" mentality in check a little. Us indies are at a slight disadvantage compared to Microsoft so cut us some slack.

Absolutely. I think some of the Zune community will surpass Microsoft in no time. This game looks good but is not very different. Anyone remotely experienced with Photoshop could make those sprites easy.

Regardless, it is still a great game and its not like a competition between community and company or anything; It's just kind of funny that Zuners will beat Microsoft at their own Program eventually.
