Got to be honest... All this stuff just never fails to amaze me. Great work as always darthman.

[Darthman]

Wow... glad to hear it. Tnx

[AirPas]

good game and good choice of music, i enjoyed playing it

[Darthman]

They say that this game is too hardcore =)

[Darthman]

Cmon guys, so many views and no reviews? Give me some critics plz.

Very impressive! I like how you give that feeling of going very fast. It adds to the stress the player feels while playing.

Having the player appear as a black ball does seem to make the game a bit hard to figure out at first though. I thought the cursor was "the player" the first time I played the video.

Maybe have a tutorial where the screen pauses after a second or two in-action and arrows with descriptive text tell you what is what and basics of how to play?

I'm going to Tweet this and Google+ it too. :)

Seems like a very good game, but I am finding it very very hard...I keep dying after a short time, either from hitting an enemy, or falling back down again haha

[paul_nicholls]

It also threw me off at the start when I couldn't see the cursor on the menu screen...that was a bit off putting :D

[paul_nicholls]

It just occurred to me...this game might just make a great casual touch screen game!! You should try making an Android/iPhone version :)

Will, it's called motion blur:

Anyway we now keep working on this game and still want to make it better. First release will be for PC only and I wanna share it with the world through Steam.After that if it will rock we will certainly do portable ones (ty Delphi XE2 we can compile for iOS).

With tutorial there is difficulties. We made this game is about 9 evenings\nights for IGDC contest #77, and still dont made all the things we are want to. Like achievements, trick-games and many more. Our menu doesnt support mouse yet :-[
