Hover Cube

I am working on a game called Hover Cube.

The screens below show a "target practice" level. It starts with 50 target cubes that are glowing stoplight green.

When you shoot one it throws off green sparks and glows stoplight yellow. Shoot it again and it throws off yellow sparks and then glows stoplight red. One more shot and it blows up.

The targets do have some rudimentary AI. If you are in their sites they will shoot at you. Once you shoot them, they will try to evade you.

I still have a lot of work to go with this project and it has been a blast so far. I am coding this in Blitz 3D.

This screenshot shows one of the red targets blowing up:

Same thing but from a different point of view:

This shows a few targets hit with the corresponding sparks:

If you want to try it out, I would love some feedback as to what people think. There is a zip on my website for download.
