3 updates your a god lol really thanks for all your work. i use to be able to get 200k something points but now with the update(new enemies) i could bearly get to 20k.

new version is up. I expanded on 1.15 to make it 1.20 by saving the options to the harddrive so they will be the same the next time you launch the game. Also, I reduced the amount of particles for explosions to increase frame rates.

hehe... make that 4. I think that'll be it for the day, unless I get on a really big roll with the next release.

[sk8er209]

wat you got in mind for your next update. i didn't get to update the squadron because my bro is playin sirtet.

[sk8er209]

there is something wrong with the .zip i get an error when i try to extract it

Edit:sorry for the double i forgot that i had written something.

[MarcusMaximus]

hmm good catch, I fixed the link. I have no idea what went wrong before but is fixed now.

[sk8er209]

ok i'm deploying now and it works thanks again. i'll try it out now it should be a lot better now then it already was:]

Edit: ok i see nothing else wrong but i get killed by the blue ships easy.lol

Edit: when you die the missiles that attack you from the blue ship stay when you play again. i'm not 100% if they hurt but i think they do let me find out.

Edit: 255645 high score this is my highest so far with all the updates.

Nice! I made the game and have only gotten 86,897 :S

So im guessing you can't have both lasers and missiles at the same time?? My highscore is 4186 :/ this game is hard for me and sometimes i don't move when i either touch or click the pad but that doesn't happen much.

Edit: i got a new highscore, 15,544, but when i get to green, i stop moving whether im touching or clicking the pad and sometimes i can't move side to side but up and down, it lasts for about 2-7 seconds

[Hey Mr Patch]

I hope you don't mind, but I edited the characters and missiles. I didn't mess with the code at all, just photoshop. But here it is if you would like to see what I did to it.

I wanted to add a touch of humor and a crappy hand-drawn look to it.

I take it the link in your sig is always the most up to date one?

I get an error when I try to deploy:

Error 1 The font family "Segoe UI" could not be found. Please ensure the requested font is installed, and is a TrueType or OpenType font. D:\Downloads\Squadron Z\Squadron Z\Content\Calibri.spritefont Squadron Z


I have install the fonts that came with the Zuneboard game package and still no luck

That is because it is looking for a file that is named Segoe UI, but your spritefont file name is actually Calibri, so just rename Calibri to Segoe UI and it should be fixed

I wish there's a cheat for this. eg. cheat for 25 missile firing at the same time or huge laser beam cheat.

[adamburns123]

well, there basically are, just edit the source code and put it in.

[jackluo923]

Could you tell me which line of code to change or tell me steps to changing the game. I'm a newbie in VS so I dont' know my way around.

[sk8er209]

wat if we get a special bar and when we fill it up we release the 25 missiles or large laser bean. i think that would be better than cheating:] anyways i don't need cheats i'm good

[Master_kinlin]

As much as I love this game to pieces, I completely despise the fact that the back button quits the game. That's the pause button for a multitude of other games I play, so may I ask that both the back button and center button pause the game? I've lost a ton of potential high scores cause of that.. (High score of 101,956)

Thanks man!

Edit: Is it just me, or do I start with less health the second time around? (After failing miserably the first time)
