[Shooter] Fraxy

Fraxy is a quick, boss-fight based shooter in space. You progress through increasingly hard bosses in the arcade mode, or choose from your favorites.
Also included is an easy to use, drag and drop editor, allowing you to create your own bosses.
Very fun and addicting.

- Jocasta is my first boss that has scripting. If you get too close, all hell breaks loose.
- The Firepower series are just that, they're not too hard to beat, but they have a lot of firepower.

I never understood this game. There is just so little to do. There is a boss battle mode, and another boss battle mode, and thats about it.
It doesn't even have any sound, and the window it plays in is really small. I know you can make it larger, but only slightly.
You can come a long way with good gameplay, but in the end you need to have a bit more to make a good game.
Why so many people like this game beats me.

I think people like the game because it's possible to actually design your own boss ship things, and show them to other users.

A game can be fun and simple at the same time. See: Knytt. Also, there is sound; you have to enable it.

Anyway, this is an awesome game. I'd give you guys my Fraxy bosses, but I accidentally deleted my site's /Files/ directory.

Also, there is sound; you have to enable it.

There is? How do I do that?

Edit: Nevermind, I found out. Turns out there was more than one menu in the config.
I guess its better than I thought it was. It just didn't feel complete before I turned the sound on. It felt more like an unfinished beta version.

There's also an editor.
here is something I made: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=da25bdf9ebcc29f0d0d290dca69ceb5ce04e75f6e8ebb871
It's an enemy pack so extract it from the winrar into your enemy folder in fraxy and play the bosses
(and check out traintracks, it's my best so far...)
I recommend using the boss editor to view the bosses weak points first because they are strong.

I forgot to mention, you have to download the newest version on the fraxy site.

Here's my boss pack: The Viking Series.

Viking I: Really easy, but can be annoying when paired with other drones.
Viking II: A step up in level, it has a couple more weapons. Still easy.
Viking III: The definition of suicide. Nothing more needs to be said.
Viking IV: The definition of hard. It gets very hard (and annoying) since the boss darts all over the place, and you lose it trying to dodge all the bullets. While not as hard as III, it puts on a pretty light show until you die.

although it's too bad fraxy doesn't have a larger screen.

It can.

It can.

When you up the window size, it just doubles the pixels...

It would be good if the actual resolution was doubled instead, so you can see stuff that is a bit further away than the tip of your ship, most bosses don't even fit in the screen this way.

I downloaded this, and it's pretty cool. But I'm totally confused on the Boss Editor. I tried making a caterpillar boss, but it failed.

EDIT: Fwee! I make bug swarms! Download.
Swarm I: A swarm of flies. Pretty easy, really.
Swarm II: Dragonflies! A little harder, but not too bad.
Swarm III: Three mosquitoes. These guys are a little tougher than the dragonflies, but they're not too much of a challenge.
Swarm Queen: An upgraded fly, dragonfly, and mosquito. And the Queen, of course. This can be a daunting task with four insects flying around the screen. D:

EDIT2: Moar bosses. This is my Scorpion. It's pretty easy, but it's very heavily armored. Download.

This game was the reason I left the forum (before it had the error).
It's great. I would post links to my bosses but I cant be bothered.
Anyway, for the best bosses ever made (according to the Fraxy Community) look at "Eboshidori"'s on youtube.
There is also now a newer version which has a better resolution.
(P.S. you need to change that download link to version: 20090408beta, its the latest one.)

...Well!

I am thoroughly blown away.
Virudhaka is the one I saw first.

Really makes you think that Fraxy is one of those games that you can always get better at.

EDIT: Bahahaha I am so pretentious.

Virudhaka is the one I saw first.

Wow!  That's an epic boss.  Here's another neat one (although not by the same guy).

Fraxy's always fun, when you're building your own bosses regularly.  It gets boring when you stop though.

I've made a bunch of ships; me and Soron were trading them back in the old forum.  Here's a page with a bunch of downloads for my ships if you're curious.
