Gridwars = Geometry wars for PC - FREE

[babs]

On one of my casual game sites I came across Gridwars, which is basically Geometry wars but for PC. If you have a dual analog pad use it.

I've no experience of the real geometry wars, so I can't tell you how this compares, but it looks and seems pretty bloody close. And to top it all, it's made with blitz basic.

Download it from here.


(apologies if it's been mentioned before, I did a search but found nothing here).

Heh, not a bad clone at all. Seems slower, and the graphical effects are less colourful and vivid but a reasonable effort, has to be said.

Thanks for the link, I will be downloading it!

Not played the original either but have had a couple of hours on this and enjoyed it immensely. Managed just under 1.2m so far, I'm almost debating getting a 360 solely for Geometry Wars based on this and I don't even have a HD set..

It's pretty damn cool, i don't think i'd buy a 360 for geometry wars now but maybe when it goes down in price!

After hearing a fair bit about Geometry Wars, I downloaded this not expecting much but am blown away. Terrific game with a huge incentive to get high scores. I can see why people are talking about it.

glorious

yeah i have the mac version and i can't get my ps2 or logitech right stick to work...

seriously, there's really no reason for ppl not to try this game. best freebie ever.

another interesting game to try is 'flOw'

controls with mouse, great visual style.
eating red creatures make you go deeper, where it's more difficult.
getting hit or green creatures make you rise one layer to the surface.
holding the mouse button makes your creature move faster but control worse. good for escaping from bigger fish.
this game starts slow cause your creature is so small... but after 5 minutes or so of eating smaller creatures things pick up and the enemies get quite interesting.

not as good as grid wars, but since so many people are into rez here i figure this crowd may appreciate what he's done.

Best freebie of what, that is fun as hell!

[pale_blue_eyes]
