My creation: Galaxy war (2D game using DirectX)

Hello there. This is my game:

Screens:

Download game: Galaxy war

Official website (for more information)

The game saves progress as you advance (the save is encrypted so forget cheating ;)
There are multiply backgrounds and multiply ships. The design of the game is so good that the user can create ships himself.
It takes about 2 second to add another level on the map, the information is kept in an array inside the program.

I have created a version containing songs in the background (the ending background music was set to Back to the Future theme song) but first: It was a .wav file over 30 mb and I still haven't learned how to play mp3 :(

Enjoy :D

P.S.
the game requires DirectX April 2006

EDIT:

Buttons:

Arrow keys = Move ship
X = Shoot
Z = After 10 second makes you go SUPER FAST, destroys all rocks you touch

I will release the source later... busy ;)

Heh, I always forget the keys...

You press X to shoot and after 10 seconds you can press Z to go UBER fast and destroying all rocks you touch...

Thanks :)

Thanks for all the comments :)
And yes, there are WAY to many webbrowser here.

The thing is, I dont know if I want to release the source kode. I am currently working on another major management program (might release a demo here) but if I release the source code, someone else might start adding to my game :p

I was going to make a story mode, adding aliens, another attack mode and multyplayer and cheats and shop and so on.

But someone else might go step ahead and make those changes himself befour me :p

Anyway the DrawingEngine is open-source... If I just find a time to share it (Christmas time :D) I will give a link to it

Hehe, yeah...
I am assuming you changed the resolution... You see, when the resolution is changed, the Mouse events and the Location of the button on screen are not at the same place...

Lets say you changed resolution, then this is what happens:

[ Button ] <--- You see this
[ ] <--- Software events (hover and click) are here...

Try restarting the game... that usually works :)

This problem I was aware of and I have done whatever I can to fix this but the problem still amases me...

This game is awesome! It gave me hours of fun, and it was nice to see a modern take on a classic game.

Some suggestions:
- Continue working on it and finish it before moving on to other projects
- Add a story mode
- Increase the penalty for dying (I always win and get extra cash at the end, if I just hold down left, x and z buttons for the whole game)
Keep up the good work
