Go faster, shoot tankers (flash)

Interesting, at first, it seemed boring, then I got into it and it had an interesting rythym that was fun in a very old-arcade-style way. Then it got too hard.

Looked promising at first. Then realized that I can't click on "start game"... in Firefox and Safari, OS X 10.4.9

Have you tried spacebar?

Wow. I suck at that.

its gets too hard past 10-12 trucks. why does the power go down? the # of enemies shoudl increase faster instead of taking away your stats.

There should really be instructions at the intro. Don't play the game "with instructions", it takes way too long. For those who happen to read the comments before playing the game:

CONTROLS
space: select, fire
right/left: accelerate, decelerate
up/down: steer ship
p: pause

That said, the game was actually quite fun. I can tell by the music and the gameplay that it's by the guy who made the 3D-missile tunnel game, or at least a copycat artist. Once you learn how to use missiles and collisions strategically, the gameplay gets really fast and entertaining.

Is the high score list working for anyone?

Cool game.

Awesome game. I don't like that it makes your ship weaker over time though.

4540, done in by a spot of dirty pool.

wow! blow up tanker trucks, avoid the drones that will send attack ships to kill you with missiles, and try to stay alive in a monochrome beige environment.

it's like insurgency: the game!

thanks, that was fun.

I have no skill.

I really want to play a full screen version of that.
Or, you know, not. But I won't play again on that tiny screen. Pretty cool, though.
