Im still trying to figure out after 20 rounds of playing, if there is any strategy beside flying is circles and hitting auto-aim-spacebar-lasers like mad.

maybe reduced gamespeed with manual aiming would improve it..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The gamespeed makes it fun, and the manual aiming is with the mouse

And yeah -- flying in circles own

btw - could someone take a few seconds to do this one answer poll?

This game has potential and it could definitely be the next big "Alien Hominid" out in the market.

Nice site! Because I'm too lazy to register, and I don't really get the "gate" map style level thing, My vote goes for the Box...map..level..thing...

[Tobs]

The ""gate" map style level thing" is simply a series of systems connected by gateways/portals/rifts in space/whatever, and when you fly in one end, you pop out into another system.

Okay, now its alot better ;D

I still dont think the "arcade" gameplay is good for the pixel-war engine. Overall the idea is pretty cool. You got the PIXEL part of the name in, now its time to add the WAR part, imo. Like Aliens flying in squads (no ff, its space after all..) and maybe faster missiles (too slow, you can shoot them down and they will neverever hit you, if you dont try to fly into them). You could have wingmen yourself, formations via 1-0 keys (incl no formation).
And if it is not against the name of pixel wars (the planets arent pixels, too :, you could add bigger ships like some heavy destroyer moving slowing around => you need to fight the small pixel interceptors he will launch when you come in range and after that kill it part-by-part (defense turrets, bridge, engine, ..). Some different/bigger ships could really add some stellar war feeling.

Oh yea and Gates > Free Zoning.

Well once again, I'll say that Pixel War is a finished project. I do realize it has its drawbacks, but it was made a year ago, and we have been working on a better version instead of trying to patch up the old one. I do realize that those are all good ideas, but allas, I will not use them

I'm glad I got your email, I don't want to miss out on PWO fun
It also gave me a chance to download Pixel War, although I am a bit rusty...

[[M]edieval]

Whoa... I got like totally addicted to this game! I stepped higher and higher, and I kinda lagged because I set 100 aliens and 100 humans . Great game!
