My Game Company has released v1.1.1 of The Adventures of Rick Rocket! This is my 1950s-style space shooter with epic space battles between fleets of capital ships and fighters, a wide variety of mission styles, and a sci-fi story like the old Dan Dare and Flash Gordon serials.
This update contains a number of bug fixes that I made to the underlying game engine during the development of Dirk Dashing 2, as well as a few enhancements to the game itself. I've also replaced the Linux installer with a more modern one that won't crash on most 64-bit distributions. (It still crashes on Linux Mint 11 & 12, but I'm working on it - I just couldn't hold up the release any longer, because I have multiple customers waiting for some of the more critical bug fixes)
Here's what's new in this version:
- Fixed: installer crashes on 64-bit distributions (should work on most of them now)
- Fixed: crash when trying to use gamepad or joystick on newer Linux kernels
- Fixed: bad file permissions set on some files, which causes issues when installed as root
- Fixed: better support for PulseAudio, without the need for "padsp" on some 64-bit distributions like Mandriva 2011
- Fixed: toggling between fullscreen and windowed modes crashes the game
- Fixed: toggling between fullscreen and windowed modes can scramble textures
- Fixed: centipedes & millipedes no longer let you sit safely while they circle you
- Fixed: pressing ESC key on main menu returns you to the game instead of exiting
- Optimized texture loading so it works better across a wider range of video cards
- Replaced the next & previous buttons on the chapter selection screens with nicer ones from Dirk Dashing 2
You can download the latest version here:

The full version costs $9.99, and includes 48 levels, over 30 different kinds of ships that show damage as they are hit (instead of an artificial floating health bar), 12 different power-ups, and more.
