Good point regarding the music ^^. I used Autotracker and I wished that I could find a way to change the default Win7 MIDI synthesiser. It sounds quite bad. I made an even more annoying music with PXTone but thankfully, it didn't made it to the final game ^^.\r
\r
And also good point on the lack of power ups, the game is not quite well balanced and your success depends on the probability of power ups to appear :-/."}, {"author_name": "hungyg", "author_uid": "8391", "time": "Apr 25, 2012 @ 2:14pm", "epoch": 1335362940, "text": "Not well balanced, and the graphics could have been a bit better (including the font) bot other than that great job!

A few annoyances though: When you die, all your powerups are gone and you're having a hard time. Also, the shoot sound gets annoying real fast. Other than that quite ok."}, {"author_name": "jwolf", "author_uid": "11073", "time": "Apr 28, 2012 @ 5:39pm", "epoch": 1335634440, "text": "Decent shooter.

Anyway, the games works fine and is quite fun to play"}, {"author_name": "robcozzens", "author_uid": "10944", "time": "May 9, 2012 @ 3:29am", "epoch": 1336533840, "text": "I would try it but I'm on an iMac."}], "images": ["ld23/11731-0244543dd2ff2bccc2fee3c2b2ef70cf.jpg"], "links": [{"url": "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18436001/Badassium_LD48-23_binaries.zip", "text": "Windows"}, {"url": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGj_Qj65KI4", "text": "Gameplay video"}, {"url": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06DMEyH-agk", "text": "Timelapse"}, {"url": "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18436001/Badassium_LD48-23_sources.zip", "text": "Source"}], "metadata": {"g_key": "30326", "g_author": "11731", "g_event": "LD23", "g_eventkey": "10", "g_subevent": "COMPO", "g_urlkey": "30356", "g_title": "Badassium Atom", "g_status": "UCHK1", "g_place": "341", "g_commentcount": "11", "g_site2_node_id": "0", "g_hide": "N", "g_has_icon": "Y", "g_rqueue": "0", "g_random": "0"}, "nds": [], "node": null, "orig_images": ["http://ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/compo2//123793/11731-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"], "text": "Badassium is the only atom over 9000\r\n\r\nEradicate other atoms in this twin-stick shooter (compatible with Keyboard + mouse or Xbox360 Gamepad)\r\n\r\nRequires XNA 4 redist (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20914)\r\n\r\nGameplay video:\r\n\r\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGj_Qj65KI4\r\n\r\nTimelapse :\r\n\r\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06DMEyH-agk", "title": "Badassium Atom"}
