The game doesn't seem to run on opera nor Internet Explorer 9.

EDIT: Hmm... tried a few other browsers, but it doesn't seem to run in any of em.

it's a WebGL game, not a Flash game. But most browsers support WebGL nowadays. Works fine for me.
Looks like an improved version of Missile Game 3D (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/missilegame3d). Sucks that it doesn't have any sound, though.

Opera is a webgl capable browser, but so is google chrome and firefox too. Tried all three, but still doesn't do it. Only thing I can think of is that it does something dirty and connects to other sites which my firewall blocks.

I tried the game at work, and it does work there, but you can figure that I can't play seriously there, nor did the game work very well. It was fun though, so I'm also a bit sad that it doesn't work. Seems like a great game.

I managed to get 17xx score and died everytime because the framerate couldn't keep up which messed with me.

EDIT: Fastkat 1 does work. I am clueless why its not working...

EDIT2: It seems to be working in comodo dragon! yay. Damn, this goes really really fast. Playing at work, although it goes really slow there seems to be so much easier....

EDIT3: Either you were very lucky getting 5416, or the game is badly programmed and goes faster on fast pc's. It goes so fast that if I get a higher score of 2200 I were extremely lucky (probably due to random movement)

so it seems having a good pc doesn't help, and thus am not going to play this game. Strangely, version 1 runs much slower, almost as intended.

Could be maybe performance issues. Maybe it conflicts with other running programs, or fps too high. I don't know.
Fastkat 1 is slower for me but not by so much. I got 6000+ on fastkat1 after some tries.
Spoiler: (click to show/hide)
How much you get on fastkat1 LPChip?

I just tried it once and believe I got 3700 something on first try. But the speed is like twice slower. so thats a big change.

I'll try and record fastkat2 so you can see how fast it goes.

eh no need, I believe you  ;) It's not supposed to go twice as fast. maybe 0.5 times faster.

Now you tell me, after I got it all recorded and everything....

Okay, I could've checked the forum earlier too :P

The recording does slow it down a little bit, which makes it more playable actually. But you can see how fast it goes. Is it going this fast on your end too?

It goes a bit faster than that video on my laptop, I guess your usual speed is the intended one.

It's about exactly as fast I'd say. It's possible the recording program slows it down. I've had steam pop-up notices slowing down speed temporarily so something is not right.

Maybe problem if you don't have graphics card. Or play through different mode (software?) or runs on older drives. I don't know.

You play it in your browser. Oh look I provided a link in my first post what a coincidence.
