Trigonometry Wars


71M's Trigonometry Wars, a Geometry Wars-inspired game, is his entry to the NEO Summer Coding Contest 2006. Those already familiar with the original game will not have a hard time with the 'brew's gameplay, but may hit a minor snag on handling the controls; it takes a little bit of coordination to maneuver your ship around the screen. It is recommended to go easy and have a feel of the controls at first before getting your game on. But, the crazy kids over here at QJ just went crazy with it; bouncing off the walls and shooting everything in view. It's not very strategic, but definitely fun.

The left trigger is for the the thrusters while pressing the right trigger will allow your ship to shoot out ammo. Use the analog stick to direct which side you want your ship to face. The triangle button is basically the panic button - it drops a smart bomb to wipe out all enemies when you're getting swamped.

Changelog:

1) Game can be paused using START button.
2) Fixed green enemy avoidance.
3) Firing rate has been reduced.
4) HOME button is working again.

If only they could make Math this fun.

Awesomeness

I'm still playing the first one, score is 8mil and counting; Music, maybe a CPU Overclock option, disable the background, and this game will make a flawless homebrew.

this game owns!

I'm having hella fun w/ this game! it's simple, fun, and challenging at the same time! I love just sliding around the area w/ the thrusters. :D awesome job!
by - 2006-08-07 12:24:07
Mmk.

@4: No. Only on 1.50. @7: 1.50. @8: "R" I think. Hmm yea music needs to be added ftw. And maybe add difficulty settings? I would say just add more features. But this is a great game so far man, keep it up!

Controls should be changed

I still think the controls should be changed to a robotron type thing where analog moves you around(no thrust button) and the shape buttons be shoot. It would make more like the game this is based on. You could have a choice of two control schemes.
by - 2006-08-07 13:33:37
Yea ftw.

Yea I agree with 14 tbh. Or maybe just allow people to config their own controls. This game is sweet though, ive been playing it for like 20 mins.
by badam - 2006-08-07 13:37:31
make it for others

make a homebrew for the ds, please
by - 2006-08-07 14:34:28
Yep

I agree with #14 also. Basically make it the same as Vector Infector.
by - 2006-08-07 14:54:35
!

you will win for sure!

Good Game But Controls Need to be Tweaked

this is an amazing game none the less, but controlling the robot thing needs to be tweaked as it doesnt exactly turn the way i want it. If that gets fixed then this is will be an amazing game. What happend to Vector Inspector
by Rehevkor - 2006-08-07 16:24:19
Tough

It seems my earlier comments about difficulty were taken a little TOO seriously. Now I find it almost impossible to survive after 100,000 points when my smart bombs run out. The HUGE waves of green squares that dodge my fire are without a doubt the major problem. Their new movement plus the fire rate reduction makes them extremely difficult to deal with. Otherwise, this game is pretty awesome. Nice work!

Vector Infector was first.

This is basicly Vector Infector, but better overall. I have been playing Vector Infector for ever, i want to know what happened to its development.

Noob Question

Started this game from the PSP menu (not from IRshell), and can't get the game to exit :/ Tried a whole lot of button-combo's but no succes.. Does anyone know the exit shortcut? Thanks.

@25

Try the Home button...*stares at you dumbly*
by anonymous stranger - 2006-08-08 12:09:01
guys!

This game was perfect.. the firing rate and the thrust feature, thats what makes it fun. The firing rate is a little bit harder now.... to 27.... I have the same problem as him... the homebutton dosen't work... *stares back at you*
by - 2006-08-08 14:21:38
Agree with 14 & 20

Great game, but controls are awkward and it get a bit too tough after all the smart bombs are gone. I think firing rate is too slow now...
by - 2006-08-08 21:00:33
Spiftacular

Controls are odd to get used to at first but i think it adds flavor to the game (think Formido) though options to change em would be nice (formido again :)) bump the fire rate up a hair or two and add difficulties, maybe more power ups (I only got the triple burst a few times and only after tons of box killin on the first version, i dont even think ill see it again on the new vers.) over all i give it a 9 outa 10 simply cause its that addicting... tomorrow it will be 10/10
by lilfibs - 2006-08-10 15:34:37
new version

when is the new version gonna come out and one thing there has to be some thing where you can choose your controls cause it is way to hard to move around without getting killed
by - 2006-08-17 04:18:09
new record score

8 million is no more hiscore try get 14 millions (its easy but you have long to play)
