It's back, in full effect!
A remake of this game, but with extra lovelyness piled on top.

^ OMG! TEH B3TA!

There's also a whole batch of newer enemy to kill off, and things are now in nicely organised waves, as opposed to just plain random stuff!

Of course, some things are still slightly random, but hey. That's all the fun of the fair!

Shoot to the right, protect the left hand guys with your tail, and keep on killing with your mouse button.
Sorted!

Latest Update

V1.02
A completely reworked wave pattern creation doohickey, meaning the waves are now about 99% tougher!
And things will get even more difficult if you lose all your little pals.
Unfortunately, this would make all highscores impossible to beat, so we've had to reset everything to make things fair.
New board, new scores, quicker death!!
Get going!

V1.01
If you downloaded the version in the blog, this is a slightly better one!
There's 6 baddies in the game, and each one lasts 3 waves, so that's a nice 18 wave game..
After 18, things start to get a bit more random, and plenty more guys come after you each wave!

Lovely!

It didn't seem to want to send my highscore though.

Great game! Just having a bit of difficulty protecting the guys with my tail. I cant seem to tell what part of the tail kills. I figured the blue area but its not all killing if I am moving fast enough.

Same problem as Orion. Other than that, the game was great. Some of the best visuals you've ever done, in my opinion. I love the presentation.

The "harder" version is actually easier!

Well, it wouldn't be fair if you could just shoot up and down the screen guarding all, all the time, would it!?!

Take things nice and slow, and it works just fine.

And, yeah, I made the initial shooting a little slower paced, rather than everyone all shooting right from the get go.

.. 'cos once there's 24 enemies, some of which are shooting 2 bullets, that's a heck of a lot bullets to instantly guard from!!!

But what I want to know is how far does the tail go before its no good to protect? How much tail is good? Or is that the point? Or lack of....

|edit| LOL! and you made it to highlight YOUR name on the scoreboard! |edit|

Dude! Your game wont run on my dads computer. The window opens and closes about as fast. I see the HS logo flash on it and thats about it!

Since I've had to rejig the scoreboards for H~S, would anyone like to suggest any nice new elements that I could pop into the game?

(And, I'm hoping to have fixed Orion's bug, since it also did that on my Vista system..)

Updated edition v3 now online.
Has the new scoreboard system, and the "Right to left" scouter's been plopped back in, too.
Nothing much else..
Still, it's a great game

I'd have a better score, but I've been using the celeron, and it's not so happy with the game
