  • So much for AMD users running a recent (3.14,3.15) kernel.  SUCKS TO BE YOU…oh wait




    • Additional Notes: please note that you must install the proprietary Nvidia or AMD drivers. X-Plane will not run using Gallium or Mesa open-source drivers




    • Do the proprietary drivers install on the new kernels yet?




      • Nupe.  Gotta patch them with something that removes the KVER check

  • I don’t mind top down 2D games, it’s when devs use it to excuse their lazyness with proper modeling/texturing that I’m not okay with.




    • I don’t think its lazy.   The design here is clearly an aesthetic choice and if it doesn’t detract from the gameplay then I have no issue with it




    • Hell, the biggest complaint I see in the comments is that the thing is too damn short for a $10 game






 


Where’s your head at

  • If this means Unity controller support will stop sucking, I’m all for it!




  • I’m just glad they are admitting the gamepad support is busted.

  • It’s a bad sign when the particle effects outshine the one thing you are constantly looking at ..ze ship.




  • The backgrounds look fantastic but the lemmings and baddies are meh incarnate.




  • I actually enjoyed the retro inspired soundtrack.

  • More often than not, enemies will be off-screen and you kinda have to guess where they are  to shoot them down.

Control


V-




  • The controls worked OOTB /w the Xclone




  • Tight and responsive unlike your mum.




  • They work for navigating the puzzles and setting the lemmings on fire.




  • That said, they are FK mothering useless /w this physics when it goes all bullet-hell




J-




  • This is a tricky section.   The controls themselves are spot on




  • However, you require the ability and co-ordination to use the controls effectively




 


P-




  • SDL2 kicks several kinds of ass!




    • That or Terry did a very good job with getting my Dual Shock 2 to be properly recognized.

FUN

  • The gravity mechanic is annoying and inconstant. My ship and the lemmings are the only two things affected by it. The baddies have FK all anti-grav moon tech.




  • $17.99 worth of fun? That’s almost two Goat Stimulator’s.




  • Try before you buy guys and goils.




J-




  • Oh god the physics




  • The dudes you’re supposed to be rescuing are a mite suicidal.




P-




  • It’s the proper kind of difficult.




  • Doesn’t get the perfect score because I get a bit motion-sick in a few of the levels and the price point is a bit… much!
