Hi everyone,
Here is the first release of the game I've been working on, called Super Geometry Dust! It's pretty bug-free, I think, but I'll be actively developing it and releasing updates for the foreseeable future (because it's a ton of fun to work on).
http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=SuperGeometryDust-23703

If you find bugs, feel free to post them here.

Videos (which are a bit outdated - I'll make a new one) can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/skochw

EDIT: Someone has pointed out a bug where, the first time you run the game, it asks you to enter your name even if you didn't make a high score. A fix for this will be included in the next release.

EDIT2: More bugfixes listed here:
http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/3396-super-geometry-dust/page__view__findpost__p__59563
An update is coming soon.

Also, I've had a couple people contact me suggesting I add a donate button. I just made the game for fun, but wouldn't say no to a couple bucks here and there. I *think* this link should work, I've never tried this before:

Saw this on the repo and got excited, the videos look great, looking forward to playing it. Thanks.

This looks really good, can't wait to try it out!

Thanks for your hard work!

Edit - tried it, love it!

Proper old school, and harder than Nails McHard's harder brother. Have played both Geometry Wars on Wii, and Super Stardust on PS3 to death (hell, the original Stardust on A1200 as well!) and so far this is a great compliment to those.

Not noticed any bugs so far, except one game I randomly started with really powerful weapons (4 way spray) - don't worry I still died pretty quick to rectify that!

Good to see people coming up with quality stuff like this on the pandora. I was really beginning to feel that I had a very interesting white elephant.

Thanks again, wermy!

[naples39]

[Reyhn]

Will give it a try soon

Great design!

I like this, was this your design or a port from something else?

Good work, thanks.

PAINFULLY addictive!!! ...and...
PAINFULLY difficult!!!

[wermy]

Thanks guys! Glad you're enjoying it!

DaveC: It's all original for the Pandora (not a port of something for another platform). The graphics are inspired by Geometry Wars, and the zipping-about-on-a-sphere is taken from Super Star Dust HD for the PS3. Loved both of those games.

I would SO love to see this ported to a standard Linux distro! I'd wear out the analog sticks on my Dual Action in days!

This Stardust ? I'll try it ASAP on my Minimig

EDIT: I've tried it ! Nice and difficult game, so hard to control your ship with a Competition Pro

btw, how is Geometry Wars on Wii, would you recommend it ?

Oh yes, the original Amiga Stardust, a classic! Wii Geometry wars is pretty good - fast, playable, tricky. You need to use the 'classic' controller of course, and, like all wii games, looks painfully low res on your telly compared to hd consoles. Been a good few years since I played it now, will need to fire it up again.

Not tried the X360 one, because that would involve buying a 360, and that would involve breaking my housewide 'No Microsoft Stuff' rule - although Geometry Wars (and Rez HD!) have always been there to tempt me to the dark side.
