I love this game on handheld but can we make the UI controlled by a gamepad like xbox gamepad?
This is so fantastic!
Any chance for a Linux version? Using Debian right now so I can't play.
I like the art style. I think it would be cool to make a non-linear game from this. Like Army Men: Air Attack or something. Simple but fun!
i like it it was very intertaning

Fantastic! Thank You for sharing, I really appreciate it!

Thanks friend! I really appreciate it!
I can't control the helicopter, is it because I'm using a touchpad? The helicopter doesn't move when I move the mouse around.
Thanks for mention the bug, It's fixed now in the new version, enjoy.
Thanks!
-Contoller support added for missions
Nicely done, and a beautiful homage to River Raid. It modernize the classic, and is both fun and faithful.
from way back in the first days of arcade I would go down to the pharmacy and play it there. Tho I think it was an Atari in a cabinet!
Looks nice! Thank you very much. Cheers from Brazil!
You welcome! Is good to know that players in Brazil enjoy the game!
Any possibility of adding keyboard/gamepad controls? Great game, very good upgrade to River Raid.
Keyboard controls actually working only in heli select and mission select, but gamepad controls are on the way in next update, thanks for the reminder.
One other feature that'd be nice would be after your place is destroyed to be able to immediately hit ESC and Retry instead of waiting for the level to reload before being able to Retry.
Congratulations, it's a very well done and fun game. It adds modernity to the classic. I really liked it and recommend it. It's a simple but beautiful 3D and runs on weaker pcs.
Thanks for the review, Im glad You like it.
Great little arcade game. Brought me back to when I played River Raid on the Atari 2600 (yes, I am thàt old...).
Thanks, Im glad You like it. The goal was to make a little remake of my childhoods favorite game :)
Thanks for the free game title. However, my PC complains that this download is infected with malware. Can this be confirmed?
No malware.
At first run, because it is not from the Microsoft store, many program install files will be flagged by the Windows operating system as "maybe unsecure, maybe malware". If you have downloaded it from a trusted source, (and have scanned it with you're anti-virus program, to be sure) you may override this warning.
Maybe i should upload a zipped folder of the game to avoid install warnings. This exe was created with winrar as a self extract file.
