everyone loves active2 is an arena shooter type game developed for a TIGSource.com competition. The game paints the background image based on what you enter for a random seed at the beginning, as well as interactions from the enemies and your bullets, among other things. The game is laggy as hell on slower computers because thats just how I make things I guess. Low graphic mode should work okay for most systems though, where as high graphic mode may be chugging at 30 frames per second.

The music is by Alec Holowka who is awesome. Go play Aquaria.

The game features my first attempt at a high score table, and there may be a random crash with the livereceiver for some reason, sorry! =(

The game is hard, and its hard to see whats going on until you get used to the game, but really thats part of the challenge! I hope you enjoy, thanks ;D

Gave up fast because it was full of cliché crap

For the crazy weird effects its 3 overlay redux objects, and they just paste into each other to get some bizarre effects.

Its a little slow on older computers... or all computers. I dont know how long I can keep using MMF when I want to do elaborate games (visually) like this.

I dont think theres any condition in the game that would make you just explode for no reason... hmm. Maybe a bullet just got caught up with all the crazy colors.

Wow.

It's beautiful, very lucid feeling. Controls are solid, over all an excellent shooter.

Little tough to play with everything going on but wonderful none the less.

Sweet little experience. The heart enemies made me laugh

Very cool. Neat package that I'll probably keep on my harddrive, too.

I really like the effects in this game.
Either you used an extension or drew the background stuff yourself frame by frame.

The game was good too.

I can't open the file either, because it uses extensions or something. It's a shame too, cause it's made by one of my favorite klikers, xerus, I don't know him well or anything, just that he has some serious game development skillz.

I'm still debating on whether to get MMF2 Dev or to get a good quality 3D development system ... there's actually a few nice looking one's cheaper than MMF2 Dev. Can TGF2 use all the extensions that MMF2 Dev does ? .. If so, I could get that for now, until I decide about Developer or something 3D.

Will the Developer Demo work with extensions ?
If you read this xerus, could you post what's needed with the game, or make an .exe ? --- if demo can't use the extensions I mean. ---
