Hey guys,
It's been a while since the last update of this casual space shooter game, so I have great news for all fellow retro space shooter lovers!
The latest update contains very important improvements that will improve your gameplay experience by fixing some very crucial bugs.
One of the most annoying bugs was that once you minimized or left focus on the game during fullscreen, the game would just hang infinitely, so you've had to restart the game. This is no more. I changed fullscreen mode to "windowed fullscreen". Not only does it launch faster now, it also fixes that said annoying bug. Now you can just minimize or leave game focus during gameplay whenever you want. No hangs or crashes anymore.
Also keyboard input was fixed! Now you can enter text content to input elements as well as in the console again! This bug was particularily annoying and happend after the transition to DirectInput. But now the transition is fully done and the annoying key input bugs are gone!
It's also crucial noting that - if you are using Windows 11 with the latest updates - it can happen that you can't see any bullets (regardless of local player or bot players). The issue is simply fixed by setting compatibility mode to Windows 8. You can either do that via the file properties or just by running the win8compat.bat.
Changelog

Windowed fullscreen: No more crashes when switching out from fullscreen
Fixed keyboard input for text input elements and console
Added a script that sets compatibility mode to Win8
Added new graphical assets that fit the game style more appropriately
Various improvements and bugfixes
I hope you have much fun with the new update!
Kind regards

Rebranding the project
Hey guys, I have decided to rename the game. It is now called Hyper Frenzy. Tho the game remains the same. But additionally I have fixed some bugs and added the following: You can now switch between pure keyboard or additional mouse control There are now more resolutions possible
Hey guys,
I have decided to rename the game. It is now called Hyper Frenzy. Tho the game remains the same.
But additionally I have fixed some bugs and added the following:

You can now switch between pure keyboard or additional mouse control
There are now more resolutions possible
Asteroids don't inflict that big of a damage anymore
You can also use your mousewheel to scroll through your weapons
Removed WinAPI based input and added DirectInput to let the game run more smoothly
In future I also consider to entirely get rid of the old DX9 and use SDL2 or SFML instead and thus also feature Linux/macOS builds. But this will take some time.
Have fun with the game!
Kind Regards

Map borders available
Hey guys, there are now map borders available to indicate the area of the fighting arena. This way you can better see when you would fly outside the map and get teleported to the opposite site. Also the game window is now centered on screen. Have fun!

Hey guys,
I've just published a small update. Changes include:

Added new gametype 'Hide and seek': Hide from other players or seek the player with the lead
Teleport sprite for flying out of the map ranges and transportation to the other end
New map 'orbit': A map taking place in the orbit of a planet
New map 'starsystem': A map taking place in a sector with some vortices
Resolution selection via combo box control
Bugfixes and improvements
The gametype 'hidenseek' works as follows: One player has the lead and must escape the other players. While having the lead their score increases by 1 on each second. The other players must get the lead from them by using the circle pulse weapon over them. The player with the greatest score wins the match.
Enjoy the update!
Kind regards
