Re: Close Approach 3D asteroids shooter release - abstractworlds (0 replies, 10 views) (2003-Dec-10)

Thanks for the feedback. There's a Tips section in the game and on the website which might be of some help. Generally, I confure the controls for a 3 button mouse, so the mouse hand controls the ship's orientation (mouse move), movement forward (right button), movement back (left button), and weapon fire (left button). This leaves the other hand to control sideways movement Q and W, which is extremely useful when dealing with the enemy ships and keeping asteroids in your view. Sideways movement can be used in conjunction with the mouse move ship orientation to partly circle around an enemy ship or asteroid whilst always facing it ready to shoot. This makes it easier for you to hit the enemy ships and difficult for them to hit you. In the old retail CD version we had included video game footage showing these flight ticks, but we had to sacrifice this for the downloadable version, to keep the download size small, pity.
