    What this game really needs is multiplayer.

    I completely agree with you. Although that’d require rewriting a good part of the game engine. As things are standing now, I don’t have enough time to dedicate to the task. But yeah, maybe I’ll get back to it sometime in the future.

    You have a very interesting game there and it looks very cool. But about multi player, perhaps a Counterclockwise Tournament?

    Awesome game.
    Thinking of multiplayer - it would be simple to implement this game as UT2k4 mod, imho. And there is some chance that i’ll fall into this coding soon.

    Additional MULTIPLAYER vote. I love this game, just played a few nice sessions.
    Server options: boost speed value, clear random blocks every x secs, haze density, wrap-around on/off, ammo/shield regeneration x/sec.
    Modes: Team DM, Tag game.
    Contact me if you want more ideas.

    Any chance that a version with lower system requirements will be made? I know most PCs today can meet these, but my computer is older than most PCs (and unlikely to be replaced or upgraded anytime soon).

    excellent game! I also hope to see a multiplayer version. I would PAY for a multiplayer version.

    You should seriously consider pitching a this to Microsoft for Xbox live arcade. I think it has potential to be a hit.

    MULTIPLAYER!

    If you want this kind of action in multiplayer, then check out Cubes. I love the concept of the game, and the ammount of strategy can be amazing,

    @Kevin:

    I wouldn’t know how to pith a game to Microsoft :)

    @Steve:

    I’ve seen Cubes. It’s rather nice. Although I’d love they include the exact ccw control scheme :)
