Hi people,

in the end of last week I read through the "Fly the copter" thread and played the game a few times myself... It was so addictive, while really simple that I thought about making a little and very simple game myself over whitsun weekend.

Idea is as simple as gameplay:

Collect as many gems as you can to get highscore.

There are different colors of gems:
Purple = 1 Point
Red = 3 points
Blue = 5 points
Green = 10 points
Yellow = 15 Points
Cyan = 20 Points

The gems spawn randomly (color and position).

Controls are easy, too:

Use Arrowkey to thrust... thats it.

Don't hit any walls, it will drain your life. And guess what... if life drops down to zero, you die

It would be nice if some of you could test this Alpha version to see if the gameplay works. The final game will have some additions like a countdown, a changing special color (the gems of that color will give double points for a while), changing levels etc...

I plan to finish the game until monday night, eventually on tuesday.
