Rocketpod!

This is a shameless plug for my game, RocketPod

You will need Java 6.7. to run the game. It was made by me in association with the Carnegie Mellon Game Creation society. Although it isn't "done" by any means, we're having a release party on Friday.

RocketPod is a top-down, 2D shooter in a free-roaming world featuring RPG and trading elements. Control the RocketPod with WASD and mine asteroids to collect gold and buy new weapons, and upgrades.

Doesn't seem to run too well on my PC.

I can get to the menu, click new game, then I just see black with the FPS counter, hearing little cuts of music occasionally. Using up an awful lot of CPU. :/

Haha, awesome. I finished the tutorial (omg pirates), and it seemed like a great little game. I shall continue my mining!

This is an unresolved problem in the last version. What is happening is the game started before all the resources were loaded. (I think). Press escape when this happens and it should load the remaining resources, then you can start the game normally.

I remember when you first posted about this game and it has certainly come along nicely. Ran ok for me but I did experience some lag. What you have is good you just need more of it.
