While you're drawing, the color meter will keep on decreasing. And if you can't make it back to before the meter runs out, your drawing will fail.

- Once you move your mouse around during drawing, you'll see the marker. If there are too few markers when your drawing cover a pretty large area, your drawing will fail.

- A successful drawing will result in any bullets inside the drawing area will be painted. Painted bullets act differently depending on the color effect, which are as the following :

========================================================

The game is for prototype session over shmup-dev.com. Please tell me what you think. Any comments are appreciate since I really want to improve this :) Personally I wanna try using this system with arena shmup (think Geo War) but I want to see how it works with danmaku vertical shmup first.

Since the new version is coming soon with better writing, original soundtracks and an extra stage, I'll have to remove the game link for now. :)

This is very true and it's what I'm trying to do ...but it's darn difficult to follow. It's hard to make your game original, simple and has deep gameplay at the same time. I'm falling in too over complicated game myself, actually*sigh*

But hey, that's the fun part in game design , right? ::)

@brandonabley
I have AIM, but I rarely online on that. I usually online on MSN. I'll send the detail to you via PM, is that ok? XD

@Enker
I salute you too, for finish the game XD And yeah, the new game+ is basically what brandonabley answered. You can try setting your status for your own challenge too :)

@tsimehC
I'm glad that the lag didn't turn you off. That's what I'm afraid the most, since RGSS is pretty slow, compare to other game engine :( Please come back with what you think about the game and the plot once you finish it!

@WIP
Cool. I'll upload the game when I'm at my college where the internet speed is much faster then :D
