At first, i thought it was just the triangular pink things that hurt you, as i was going through the ball ones with no problem, but it seems that that is not true...

What was that one free game that had doom3ish graphics but seemed kinda pre-alpha? It was still in development, and looked really cool for only a few MB of data. Come on, 3 maps and doom3ish graphics in 3mb. Damn I wish I could find it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
This game is pretty neat, only problem is you cant see the bullets.

.kkreiger isn't alpha-ish. It's complete. It's from the demo scene where they revel in squeezing insane programs into small packages. The long load time is due to how they managed to make the game so small, using procedural thingys to generate the textures. That way they don't have to pack the bitmaps with the game itself.

The triangle shaped ones are just your typical straight-line shots. They blow you up.
Now the circle ones....too much variety in how they're shot. They travel slower than the trangular bullets, and often shot out in clusters. Post-Level 11, there'll be ships that shoot a WHOLE load of those ball-shaped bullets in very very different ways. Some circle the tunnel. Some just act as mines. Like triangle bullets, they blow you up as well.
Just try and avoid the bullets, and you should do just fine.
I was playing this In early may o.o. and yes. It's completely insane, and I can't seem to work out what the heck im doing xD
But its fun. oh so much fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
You know, you can really easily cheat in the games from this creator by messing around with the XML files... not that I've tried it yet but theoretically, you should be able to get all enemy ships to fire the easiest type of fire pattern.
Up to 24 on extreme. One thing people haven't been posting (though maybe no one noticed) is the game shows you your best run above the difficulty selectors. I managed to do 18-24 nonstop and got 3.53m points that run.

That's the mystery of Torus Trooper.
Truly, the game moves too fast for me to figure it out. I get pretty far without knowing how to play though <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Took like a whole minute to load tho.

you stole my tactic!
I didn't know it was there
But it seems real neat
I think it charges
As you hold down the alt key
Does it destroy mines?
