I am paying only 50 responders to this thread for comprehensive feedback for the first stage of development for my game. For those 50 individuals you will each receive $15 according to the current market value at this time at https://www.mtgox.com/. The current value for one Bitcoin is $750.00, so $15 is 0.02 Bitcoin. ONE lucky person will receive one Bitcoin. I got plenty, so don't worry about not receiving anything. Please leave your wallet address in your comment so that I can send the money.
Note: it's 50 people that I select out of all who provide feedback, not just the first 50 people.
I've been working on a small project over winter break (computer science undergrad). I'm pretty much finished with the first version but I'd appreciate some feedback on it before I move forward. The game is a Star Trek side-scrolling shooter. You control your ship via the mouse and fire with the left mouse button. If you get shot down, just press spacebar to respawn. It will clear the screen of all elements so you can get your bearings for a fresh start. The game has a built-in online leader board so you can post your scores and see eachother's. The scores are organized so it's an actual arcade-style hi-score chart. The game may seem basic and that's because it is; This is the first version, more will follow in the coming weeks.
The game was written in Java. The Windows version was wrapped with Launch4j because I wanted to give it a cool icon and .exe is just more familiar to Windows users. The Linux/Mac version is a .jar file, the command to run it is below. You need to have Java 1.7 installed, but you likely already have it.
Things for consider in your feedback: game difficulty, controls, fun-factor, glitches, feature suggestion, and the viewing of the hi-score chart (do you see your score? Is it in the right spot? Do you see other people's scores?).
Star Trek (Windows)
Star Trek (Linux/Mac)
For Linux/Mac, navigate to the directory via the terminal that the file is downloaded to and enter the command java -jar StarTrek.jar
