Glad you're liking it. There's actually a Vista version at http://pondspark.blogspot.com. Sorry for the resize issues, it's a GM technical matter. Hey, thanks. Glad you’re liking it.

Sorry for the resize issues, it’s a GM technical matter.

I found the spiky single target anti UFO things were not worth it when you got bullets. 3 different key commands is too hard under fire. Also, with the bullets it was nice and easy to see which kind you were running low on. It's a nice game, I like the way you're always under pressure, even between waves, to shore up your defences, although it does mean you get to spend almost no time looking at anything beyond the 8 symbols in front of you.

I shall have to revisit this game sometime when I don't have anything else running that I don't want to have abruptly resized to 320x200 Sometime I will find the person who had the idea of making games fullscreen-and-resize-your-screen-and-screw-up-all-your-other-windows and-icons by default, and I will set his head on fire.

Too many commands to remember! Edit: Done it. Phlergh. It's very tense for what's essentially a memory game. I’m having trouble with the eighth level. Too many commands to remember!

Well apparently there is (I don't know if that is the issue here) but the Wiki is taking aaaages to respond on their site meaning I can't get a download. Not that it would work under Wine anyway, most likely. Isn’t there a utility on the forums of GameMaker that allows games made with a certain version of GameMaker to run on Vista?
