I love this game. I use a gamepad and JoyToKey, since the in-game joy support doesn’t work for me. The advantage of JoyToKey is you can map a button to thrusting up (normally the up arrow) which works great.

I've heard about that from a few people. I think what it is is that AVG doesn't like something about Thrustburst's use of temporary files in decompressing its resources, triggering a generic warning.

This is one of my favorite games of all time. Nice to see it here.

I dunno about this one. The whole point seems to be that the controls are not very good. I stopped playing after three runs.

Oh right, I never really took it as mockery, but I understand. I also never knew that about the energy. Thanks!

Or floor Which is harder tho.

The music is not randomised as such, but in some of the tracks the channels have different pattern amounts, so they will go out of sync, kinda experimental stuff Ghormak did there.

I guess the “mockery” is those bold orange letters that read “FAILURE” every time you crash… and all those stats that in my case are mostly near zero. It doesn’t directly scream “you suck” at the player though.

Anyway this is super pretty (the music is also partially randomized maybe?). I find it relaxing despite the difficulty.

Also, I had to go to the readme to discover how you’re supposed to gain energy (you have to grind against the ceiling).

Looks and sounds very nice. I don’t get very far though.

Not seeing any of the mockery mentioned in the description, and it fails to mention the game is randomised.

AVG is objecting to this one.

Anybody know what the deal is?
