GRIDWARS

This is a freeware version of the Xbox360 arcade game. Be sure to go into the controls and change it to mouse or controller. And be prepared to get addicted x.x;

Oh, and beat my score ^_-

Well, my already crippled will-to-study just went into a back alley and shot itself. Thank goodness for an easy semester, eh?

It's wonderful coincidence that just yesterday me and my buddies were joking about the $3 GeometryWars is one of the best games for the $300+ XBox 360.

Works perfectly under linux too, using the latest wine. :D

Addictive, fun, and addictive.

Something to fiddle with in the few extra minutes I have before leaving for work each morning :)

I'm confused... or maybe mine is broken. How do you die? I started a game and played for maybe an hour and a half (pausing for minutes at a time to chat, eat, watch tv, etc.) and as far as I could tell, I didn't lose one ship. I picked up plenty of extra ships (9 in reserve) and bombs, but never used them. I even tried to die. I stopped moving and let all the little shapes mob me. The entire screen was full of pretty colors and polygons, but my little ship was still sittin there pumping out those missiles (at a much reduced frame rate).

Eventually I just quit. When I first started the game I was randomly pressing buttons in an attempt to figure out the controls or bring up the options, and I got a display of the frame rate numbers in the upper left corner of the screen... Maybe I activated some sort of debug mode? I dunno... Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

It seems a little buggy. A few times that I played, it wouldn't let me shoot.

Thanks for stealing my sleep!

Seems like you accidentally entered debug mode to me.
