Nordenfelt 0.2 is out NOW!
Posted by hermitCSep 26
It is time for the next version of Nordenfelt. It has:
- a new graphics style,
- new player ship,
- better controls,
- weapon upgrades,
- more explosions and
- many more improvements
As usual there is nothing to install. Just unzip the downloaded archive and start Nordenfelt.exe. You can delete the game any time with no hassle.
Last time some people had problems starting Nordenfelt 0.1 on Windows XP due to an annoying DLL problem. Let me know if this problem still persists.
Tell me your opinion. I’m looking forward to your feedback.
Cheers,
Thomas

Nice, the overall feeling is much better, and the kamikaze enemies are better used than in the previous release (where they were all converging to the same position). I only miss the water part.
All the control issues seem to be solved.

Thanks.
I had to cut off the sea opening due to its complexity in creating the tiles. Maybe it comes back, I liked it to.

Looks much better than 0.1, plays much better than 0.1 and now I’m finally able to beat the boss 🙂
Even managed a “perfect” run (all enemies destroyed, all power ups collected, no bullets caught). Not that it’s all that hard, I just wanted to see if I can do it.
Maybe you could implement statistics like some classic shumps had, “dd% of enemies destroyed, ddd bullets fired, dd% hit rate, dd power ups collected”. And of course a “perfect” indicator, when one managed to destroy all enemies in a level. I think that gives players who are good enough to beat the game in a very short time something to strive for.

Thanks a lot!
Still into perfectionism? 😉
I’ve planned adding achievements, something to go for after a level was finished. The statistics idea is great. There are always some people out there hunting for the best scores. Added it to the MUST list.
