Version 1.0.0.3 is ready for testing

There are probably some things that I forgot to fix which will be fixed in the next version. Have to say this version still doesn`t have sound effect or additional music but I am working on it as we speak :)

Go to download page and try the new version. Comments are always welcomed.

Update #2.1

Added 4 new levels - 2 easy ones and 2 with bouncers so there is now 20 levels alltogether in Stage 1. There won`t be two boss fights (only one) in Stage 1.

Here are some screens of all four levels.

Update #2

There will be some changes in the 1.0.0.3 version. First of all the new powerup will spawn with a bit of delay and it will not be so frequent :)

I have added Boss health "counter" and decided that I don`t want a health bar because it was a bit distracting and just didn`t feel with the theme of the game.

Added respawn time - player now blinks after respawn and is invisible to bullets, this should fix the "nasty death" issue :) - Thanks Bloodyavenger

Some new screens.

NASS second 4 for levels walkthrough (Regular speed)

Second 4 levels walkthrough :) Introducing bouncers and slopes. Bullets will bounce from the ground and slopes will also lift the player to a permanent position. Remember to use the slopes to your advantage and try not to hit the bouncer wall too hard because you will...well bounce :)

First 4 levels walkthrough (speed up version)

New version in action. First 4 levels. Others will follow.

Update

Soon I will add a new version with the following features:

1. Twitter - share you score with friends and challenge them to beat your score. Follow NASS Game at http://twitter.com/#!/NassGame

2. Added a new PowerUp called Unstoppable :) (see the pictures)
3. Changed backgrounds to hexagon background which is changing color.
4. Improved some other stuff and fixed the Lovable bug.
