Thanks all! It's nice to hear that somebody actually plays my games.
My opinion is that scrolling works better on real machine. Maybe big and old TV is a friend of my humble VIC. :lol:

Great game. :)

I get some ZX Spectrum feel of this game and it's even parallax scrolling. Awesome.

Very, veryvery nice! This is absolutely my type of game. Got sucked up by it after just two rounds, finding out that one can rush through it. Once crashed into level completion. LOL! The smooth scrolling and impression of depth is amazing. The tunes are following me like my shadow. A cozy, dim corner and a bucket of coffee and the night is saved. This game digs up some almost forgotten, rejuvenating emotions in me. Time to start gaming more often.

Thank you!

When I saw your Pulse first time I realised that I want to explode and scroll things... and I made this game. :D

Very nice. Love the Parallax scrolling and music.

Makes me think C64 Parallax or Paradroid could be made for the Vic ;-)

Two meetings ago we at FCUG tried out Super Starship Space Attack. We liked it very much and had a lot of fun with it!

Great news from Cronosoft:

"Cronosoft is very proud to announce a new VIC 20 (+16K RAM expansion) cassette release, which should very likely be ready next week sometime, providing the inlays have come back from the printers. SUPER STARSHIP SPACE ATTACK by Mika (Misfit) Keranen. Features parallax scrolling arcade action, proper music, a super fast countdown tape loader (loads in around 1 minute)"

..and Daniel made that great loader

Good work..!

Out of interest, what is the sales volume for a successful Vic-20 game? I was reading about the Intellivision carts sold by Elektonite that apparently can hit 500 units for top-sellers!

Will have to wait a week or two before I'll buy one.

As far as I've heard, one barely sells more than 20 units. Atari VCS2600 titles can make it into hundreds, too.

C64 cartridge can sell few hundreds, I heard
But I think that VIC-20 tape sells 10 - 20.
