Unbelievable! Both SY!NSO! games ROCK! Haven’t tried WT, but I’m sure it’s more of the same… keep up the amazing work and continue to appeal to my sense of pixel shattering seizure inducing mayhem!

SYNSO is great! I love the style and music, not to mention the solid gameplay. Full motion blurr and effects are eye-bleedingly wonderful. However:
I much preferred the title screen that the beta had (it was up on TIGSource) to 1.0
and
I can get a high score once, but even if I beat it the high score list on the title screen doesn’t change. I would check over the high score changing triggers. I did all of this on world 1. For example: I had 28000 pts, then I beat it with 30000 points but it doesn’t change and still shows the previous score.

Neat game! I’m wondering if there’s a way the app can look “busy” somehow, as my screen saver kicked in while I was playing. Needless to say that was instant Squidageddon.
Hi, erm, not sure. Theoretically, it should already do that but I’ll look into it and see if there’s owt I can do.

The first one was a great game, but every time I try to play the second, the screen is covered up by a big box, and I can’t see what I’m doing. Messing with the compatibility mode fixed it at first, but the box just came back. What am I doing wrong?
I think that’s a surfaces problem. You can try changing the motion blur settings in the .ini file to 0 and that -might- get rid of it. Other than that, I’m not too sure.

Fantastic game! Only thing that could be better would be playing it on the 360 alongside the first one.. What are the odds of a port happening?
50/50 ;D
Andy’s got the code but it’s entirely up to him as to whether he bothers himself with a port. It’s a bit more sprawling than SYNSO1 so I can well understand if he doesn’t fancy it.
You never know though.
Good to know there’s at least a possibility.
