Looks great. Kind of reminds me of a couple levels of "005" by Sega.

At binarystar: thanks At 50trd: I thought it's "MANHUNT", but Vectrexer translated it as "HUMAN HUNTING" or "PEOPLE HUNTING" ... My english... good that we've written with Vectrexer before ^^ that's why I choose german titles At gliptitude: We will see.

Makes sense either way. The German names definitely set them apart in the Vectrex library and in addition there is no doubt as to who the author is.

And it proctets me, by choosing a title that makes no sence for the game ^^
The story behind the game: You're locked in this room where you can't escape. You can only try to kill as much enemies as you can before you get killed... So kill for the Highscore ^^ If you come to close to a enemy, you will drop from the bird's-eye view at the top into the side view at the lower Screen. That's it.

If the manuals will have English text, or at least an English section, you can always just explain or state the meaning of the title.

This is actually the kind of games I love : main screen (general history) and secondary local action scenes. Am looking forward to playing it ! If I could code a game, that would be this kind of.

Reminds me a bit of Archon there then... so for variety, you can think about the user character being a choice between say three people, each with different attack methods, and different enemies who assault you in varying ways. To keep it interesting

To keep it interesting Wow! Archon is really a quixotic and thought out game. Did look as if the characters weren't evenly matched though. Someone should bring that game to a mobile app.

I played Archon so much times when I was younger. I'm thinking about a few month to do something in the Style of Archon (Projekt X). But first I need to figure out one thing before I can start with it.
