This took me by surprise, I saw it on the front page of steam and I looked at it for a second...then it hit me. I saw this on polycount a few months back. I bought it not 10 seconds later!
cheers guys
MikeF- sadly that issue was reported but I've been unable to find a solution- if you'd be willing to help me with some tests to have another go at fixing it, could you PM me please?
cptSwing: sorry man, but co-op/multiplayer isn't on the cards.. It's tricky to do well at the best of times, and since this is my first major project and I'm alone on it, it's just too ambitious. The only thing I can say is that if I ever get to do a sequel I'd love to try tackle it.
PS: seforin: thanks for the promotional help!! always appreciated
Getting coverage from TotalBiscuit was awesome . Quite a few less views, but I rather enjoyed this one:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rte1lROj9s"]YBN Review: Pineapple Smash Crew - PC - YouTube[/ame]
One the day after you sent me a PM with the serial code, with a bit of feedback after playing an hour or so, and then last week I played quite a bit (actually finished the game in one sitting) and had some more. I don't have them in my outbox anymore though, which is what made me wonder.
I still have the screenshots, so I'll send you an email when I get back from dinner.
I was on a game fast but I had to break it for PSC. The game is great, at first I thought it might be to easy but the difficulty ramps up pretty well. Even though a lost crew gets replaced, losing all of the built up experience hurts. Having four guys to control really changes the dynamic of the game, I can't weave around bullets without getting my guys hit so turrets and other rapid fire enemies are a real threat.
Thanks all!!! I will be doing updates so I'll keep an eye on any feature requests posted good suggestions MikeF
PS- if anyone has any ideas for marketing methods, please let me know or if you know anyone who could be interested in helping please nudge them my way!
I have played through it now, was really fun! Only downside was that i lost my almost fully pimped out crew in a very heavy boss fight before the mothership mission. There were lof of enemys in small room with just a small part of cover. In the mothership mission a lot of recruits had to loose their life then.
It kinda lacks a real motivation that makes me play it through again. Some archiviments would be cool. I would also love something that makes it interesting to explore the parts of the ships that are not in your way to your next target. Some kind of loot maybe? Could be just cosmetic stuff like hats!
rooster, it must have been a very proud moment seeing your game there up on steam, even i felt proud to see it under 15 seconds from seeing it the first time and it was bought! way to go man
cheers guys
bit knocked by the rps review, I need to remind myself of the positive aspects he highlights as well as the crits, it's just hard to do when you kind of stamp your own name on something. I'll definitely try to address the shortcomings
I bought it on steam, awesome little game . Congrats on getting it out man, that quite an achievement!
Though as much as I love the retro vibe, I found the music really annoying and wished I could turn it off .
Would love to be able to play this coop on one screen!
If you don't mind I would like to ask how are sales doing? I have seen you on the front page of steam for a few days I think, and there are reviews / talks going on about your game on many major sites. Great to see your effort get so much traction. Exciting!

I just purchased it ^^
EDIT:
I got Jools and Joops! Hello Cannon Fodder
Congrats rooster!
whatever, sold.
Awesome. I made it into the credits. That counts as a shipped title in my book! :P
I know of 2 cheat codes, wonder how many there are in total....
Good luck on the sales dude!
Im glad you made such a fun game. I hope it makes you enough money to buy that moon base you always wanted.
Awesome
Supported.
I've had some good crits, so I'm going to focus hard on what areas I can improve that make the most impact. You guys rock btw!
i'm so ready to buy it, but i'm missing a co-op mode for true alien breed greatness, will one be added later?
edit: man this is seriously awesome. everything about it.
only problem i've run into so far is mouse running over to secondary monitor
