Be Square - Pheonix

Be Square - Pheonix is the newest version of Be Square. It includes a fully functioning arcade mode, achievements and more.

Here are some screens from the game:

The Accolade Screen, bright achievements are unlocked. Click to display info about the achievement.

The Main Menu. Arcade, Accolades, Help and Quit are the only working buttons at the moment.

Arcade Mode. Survive as long as you can. Currently very, very easy.

NOTE: The background effect chews through my computers RAM like a dog eats a sirloin steak. I plan on optimizing the effect in later editions. However, if you experience lag and don't want to wait, I recommend closing other programs (web browsers, music, videos, other games etc.) that should make the game run more smoothly.

Download from MediaFire.

Be Square - Tick Tack

A New Version of "Be Square" is ready. I added some AI so the Polygons will actually move now. It's still giving me some trouble so they don't shoot yet. That is coming though.

Features:

• Move with WASD or Arrow Keys.
• Left Mouse to Fire Bullets
• Right Mouse to activate ingame store. (still looking for some suggestions for these, just comment below)
• Pick up lines for credits
• Basic AI and clustering (see the pictures)
• Achievements (current demo does not show them)
• Online Highscores (Current demo does not show them)
• Minor Fixes from last time.
• Smoothed animations.

I'm still having some trouble with the AI so that will be changed as the game progresses. I am also trying to figure out how levels will work. Will the polygons come from everywhere or will they come from a side of the screen? I haven't figured that out yet. As always, if you have suggestions, just drop your thoughts in a comment and click the "post comment" button.

Pictures: They are worth a thousand words.

Be Square Basic Gameplay Demo

Here is the link to a fairly basic version of "Be Square" the SHMUP i'm working on for the 48 Hours contest I had a while back. I did all this today so don't get all, "but you can't do anything," on me.

• Left mouse fires
• Right mouse opens midgame store
• Pick up lines to be able to spend them
• Arrows move player (this will probably change to allow for WASD soon)

I hope to add achievements and buying stuff soon.
AI is right after that.
