Leroux: Has anyone tried out Laser Cat, 1000 Amps and Dead Pixels yet? I wonder how well they would perform on a netbook? I read that Dead Pixels had some occasional framerate issues on the XBox and that 1000 Amps is a flash game; that doesn't sound like good netbook compatibility, depite the simple look of the games. What do you say? Btw, does Indie Royale specify any system requirments for the games? I couldn't find any on the page.
I haven't seen any system requirements on the indie royale page.
1000 Amps requirements (from steam):
Processor: 2 GHz Memory: 256 MB
Hard Disk Space: 6 MB Additional: Flash Player 10
Dead Pixels is based on XNA 4.0 which makes for much too high system requirements. Thankfully the author did some good things with the engine and made it work on older graphics cards. At least, it works nicely on my integrated Radeon Xpress 200M. There are a lot of resolutions to choose from.
LaserCat is XNA-based too. Its only graphic option is 'toggle full screen', so I guess it might be a quick x360 port too :D But it works nicely on my machine.
It all depends on your system specs, I got them to work on my oldie laptop with Intel C2D 1,86ghz, 1gb ram, and integrated Radeon. But these games certainly require more firepower than the screens would suggest.
