Firefall (Beta)

Firefall is a small minigame that I started a while back, but never really got around to finishing because of the annoyingness that had to do with the achievement system. Today in Linear Algebra I got the urge to work on it again, and just finished it! The concept is you are piloting a small ship that has thrusters on either side, and you use the Y= and GRAPH button to activate them and try to keep your ship aloft. There is a pretty functional scoring system, with additional bonuses for certain tricks. The highscore functionality has support for 7 highscores with 6 digit scores and 8 character names. There are also 18 achievements which can sometimes be quite tricky to find! I have done some bug testing, but there are probably still some in there, which is why I am releasing this beta for now. It's fully functional though, so have fun ^^ See how many achievements you can get :]
Special thanks to Squidgetx for parts of his text entry routine, I modified it for my own needs but his code was the start in the right direction ^^
EDIT: Oh and there is a cheatcode if you press SIN in the highscore menu, I would advise against it though, as it unlocks all the achievements and prevents you from testing for them

Very neat! It looks like a fun game to play while in class.
Gosh, the text particle effects are beautiful

Pretty fun
I've already been able to unlock a few achievements
Question is there an achievement for doing enough flips? ( I notice you get a combo for doing one )

You can get mega points and achievements for doing multiple flips in a row
You just have to make sure you manage to land the flips!

)

Ok, i'll check this.
Didn't got any bug yet, but I'll find some soon :evil:
Just can you explain what is the "Demolition" (or Destruction, don't remember) achievement ?
I got it, but I didn't noticed I had done anything special

:
I wonder if the flames of the thrusters are sprites ? If so, how did you get it rotating ?
If you consider it like a minigame, it's ok, but if you don't, you could add some graphics effects (when you got an achievement, background, amazing-mind-blowing quit animation..)
one more time, please excuse my bad english, I hope you'll understand what I mean :x
Anyway, I like this game a lot !

Mm, gorgeous
Looks pretty fun for a minigame
I wonder if any kind of larger/more complex game could be made from this concept...

Epic fun.
Trouble with wabbit and school, but this was worth the effort.

The destruction achievement is unlocked when you manage to hid the sides of the game twice, sending off more than 1 explosions ^^ And I'm glad everybody is liking it
It really was designed to be one of those addicting games you played in math class :]

Heh those are probably the trickiest. The last one you get automatically if you get the other 17. The third to last you have to be pretty leet to get it ^^ and the 5th to last you have to cheat a little

Nice to see you doing some calc coding again, even if it is just a small game. Looks pretty sweet. ^^
