It is amazing for a BASIC game, and totally pwns many asm games as well.  IT'S ACTUALLY FUN! unlike many other BASIC games.  So congratz, though I can only play on emu and I suck with emu controls...

I knew the feature would come. Too bad it isn't for this year POTY because passed 1st December. :'(

IT HAD to be featured anyway. <- Almost exaggerating there. *runs*

Yeah I was surprised considering it got uploaded a while ago, I was sure they would do like they did with Doom 68K in 2007. Oh well, this year it would have an hard time competing against Doors CS7 and Axe Parser, IMHO. X.x

How many ti-83+ series programs are featured at the moment?

eh, I still am bad at them.  And the speed is hard to set to real calc speed.  So, I'm gonna be stuck at level 5 till I get a cable...

18 if I checked correctly. The record was 20 in 2004.

Ztrumpet congrats on making an excellent game. For pure BASIC I don't think it can be topped. Speedwise/graphicwise it is top notch. Congrats on the feature it is well deserved.

Indeed. I am sure there can be some more complex BASIC games but it would be extremly hard to achieve. Just Exodus must have been pretty hard to create and it really deserves a feature for the effort.

Thanks guys.

The controls, [2nd] (Shift on the left), [Alpha] (Ctr on the left), and the arrows aren't too bad imho.

What I'd love:

When you switch level it should tell you the new keys

Epic congrats on the feature!  I can't even remember the last time a Basic game got featured Excellent work and congratulations!

I missed this comment but I think the last time a pure BASIC game was featured was Contra 83+, if we don't take into account it was featured 6 years late. The last time a 83+ BASIC game that uses lib got featured was your own game Shift.

Besides that and WFRNG it would be Oil Imperium for the 92, Civilization Simulator by KermMartian, both in 2004, and before that the last 68K basic game being feature is The War Zone for the 89.

There used to be a huge bias/hate against BASIC programs back in the days, which kinda changed on the z80 scene after I got some stuff featured, but it took until 2010 before another pure BASIC game gets featured again.

When Axe came out, I worried that Omnimaga would turn into a BASIC hater site with all Axe coders bashing BASIC games and programmers, but I am glad it isn't the case.
