Okay, you folks are super awesome.

Here's my game, currently on greenlight... steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles

If you dig it, please vote 'yes' on it.

Even if you don't, a boost would be super cool. Someone's gotta like right?

There's a playable demo BTW, I'd love your thoughts.

@viTekiM I love the retro look and feel. Hell, I still power up my old Atari, so this is right up my alley!!!

@Theophilus Atari 2600 has lots of games that are still great. Proof that constraints can drive great design!

@viTekiM Asteroids, Centipede, Space Invaders, Space War, Starship... The list goes on!!! I was always a big fan of the space games. I like that yours gives the freedom to move about as well as a 360 range.

@Theophilus I'm going for a blend of Zektor/Space Fury and Asteroids Deluxe but i don't think too many folks would get those references. :)

What type of game?
Seriously awesome man, I'll go check it out. ๐Ÿ˜Š @viTekiM

@Meshelly It's a top down shooter arcade thing. I hope it's a good one. I'm trying to do something interesting with the control scheme.

IT REMINDS ME OF ASTEROIDS!!! HOMG. I'm d/l this as soon as I'm on my computer.
@viTekiM

@Meshelly But the rocks don't hurt you. They're useful for cover as this is primarily about fighting the hostile ships.

I really need to put that out there in the description as it looks so much like asteroids.

I hope you like it. Please tell me what you think!

@OldandConfused Would you believe I actually own a working Vectrex!

@viTekiM I'm jealous. I never had one as a kid, so damned if I still don't want one.

@OldandConfused I never did either. Mine was a gift picked up on eBay about ten years ago. Works perfectly. It's surprisingly good, still.

@viTekiM I can't get myself to spend $200 or so for one now. I suppose I could just check your game out instead.

@viTekiM This is not my type of game so I can't and won't comment on the gameplay but the sound effects sound really harsh and unpleasant on my headphones. Wish you luck with your game!

@fap Well, fair enough. That's for taking a look.

@viTekiM isn't the name "recoil" taken? 1999, EA, Westwood - anywho, one more yes for you.

@ninnghazad

Yep! Thanks why I changed it to RECOIL Deluxe.

If EA still comes after me I'll change to something else. Maybe....Star Wars? I hate naming things.

Thanks for the vote! :)
