I found this while digging through my internets

Hey I'm one of the new guys. I introduced myself in the welcome thread. I wanted to show this off at the community night but then it got late and had to leave. It's a game I made some years back when I was still in high school. I haven't really shown it off to a lot of people but it's one of my more successful projects (by successful I mean I'm happy with how it turned out, I've never actually made a cent from game development... yet). I had a lot of fun making this, and I thought I'd share it with the South African game dev community :)

    That actually looks pretty neat :) The particles go a little overboard towards the end of the clip but the game looks great. What was this developed in and where can we get our hands on it?

    Thanks :)
    It's built in Java, using the Slick2D graphics engine http://slick.ninjacave.com/. Unfortunately I'm going to have to do a bit of digging, since I can't find it on my computer at the moment, and it may have been on the hard drive I formatted last month, so we might be out of luck there.
    But rest assured as soon as I find a working copy I'll put up a link. ;)

    I really like that the stars move away from the explosions. It's a clever touch... makes me think that the arrows are galactic in scope. But mostly it makes killing arrows look surprisingly satisfying.

    Post more games plz!

    The Juice in this game is amaaaazing, yeah the stars moving away from the explosions makes a nice touch. And the chunkiness makes it feel very... powerful. ALL THE PARTICLES! :D

    Good news guys, I found some source code lying around that may pertain to this video. Will update once I've sifted through it.
