I poured a lot of love and time into Akasa but have basically ignored it for the past 2 years. As have world's game players! On a whim I tried it yesterday on my 24"iMac's XP Bootcamp installation and it worked really well and was a lot of fun to play. Inspired by this success I thought I'd release a little gameplay video as judging from the hiscore table those who do try it out are not getting very far at all with the game.
Creating the video was a lot harder than I'd imagined as YouTube has a terrible habit of re-encoding your video into a mash of washed out pixels. The best I could manage was this:
Tips:
Press F3 and F5 to turn on shiny ship and shadows.
Try "camping" on the first level and see how long you can survive
Don't forget to collect prana - otherwise everything will grind to a halt. Chase down the red ALED ships for an easy prana source.
Get used to the bomb delivery mechanism! Bombs are great vs everything in the game.
