Wall Girl – Appeal for stress testers

Hi all,

I’m running a quick stress test of my game (pre-alpha 1) to make sure it runs on as many machines as possible. (Min spec is a Geforce FX or equivalent – i.e. about 4-5 year old machine.) If you have the time, it would be a great help if you took a break to play it!

Here’s a direct download link to the file:

Since it’s made using XNA, you’ll probably need to download the appropriate files. I’ve placed links to all the needed files on my contest page:

If nothing else, you can download the redistributables etc. in the background while working on your entry. (Pretty please?)

Controls are Up, Down, Left, Right (arrows) to move, hold Z to shoot. When the program starts you need to press any key to start the game. Esc exits.

You have 4 lives, and when all are gone, the game doesn’t return to the title screen (yet) – you have to exit and start again. Sorry about that – I’m planning to fix it up before I submit the final version.

Thanks in advance!

Wall of doom indeed. Instant death in the first wave of enemies. Seems pretty hard.

Oh, you got it to run? Was the frame rate OK?

Thanks, 0rel. (Hmm, another person with a username starting in a numeral – surprising!)

I like the 3D effect. And it runs great, no hiccups.

Wow, Zorrito, it sounds like your machine is actually a bit too powerful for this game 😉 Thanks for testing it!
