[Release] Resonate 0.35

[hardhat]

Well I've been wanting to do a public beta for Resonate for a while. So here it is. But the main level is challenging and overall it is looking pretty good. What I really need is some good user levels and to finish the options in the online menu.

Resonate is a fast paced undersea rail shooter. Your goal is to evolve into
a thresher shark and become king of the ocean. On normal difficulty the
player starts as a Sea Urchin (level 2). Hit the blue striped
targets to collect evolution up. Collect eight and move up a level to Sea
Horse (level 3). Miss a target that collides with you and move down to
Zooplankton (level 1). If you’re hit too many times, the adventure ends
and you need to try again.

Features

- five hero forms: Zooplankton, Sea Urchin, Seahorse, Stingray, Thresher Shark
- high score tracking for each game
- enemies in various attack formations
- three kinds of power ups
- level editor for Windows, Linux or MacOS based on fltk and OpenGL

I'm looking for suggestions to consider, and of course people to be level editors to make new levels.

Here is a screenshot:

Very nice! Downloading...

looks awesome! Downloading too.
Keep it up.

EDIT -
I really like this. It looks like you put a lot of time into it.

Some possible improvements would be, when you leave the menu and all the menu items scroll down, maybe speed that up.
And the pause menu is a bit unresponsive, or slow to come up. The sea floor looks a bit unrealistic sometimes but it's still good.

Keep up the good work and keep this updated!

I posted some fresh screenshots on my blog. The online score sharing is quite close to being done. I just have to get the last bugs out, and then I guess I'll post an update.

Hey, this is nice! Keep it up. What 3D engine are you using (or did you make your own)?
