About:
Critical Mass (Critter) is an SDL/OpenGL space shoot'em up game. Your world has been infested by an aggressive army of space critters. Overrun and unprepared, your government was unable to defend its precious resources. As a last effort to recapture some of the 'goodies', you have been placed into a tiny spacecraft and sent after them.

This is a very good game, and incredibly addictive too.
If you were a fan of the many vertically scrolling
shooter arcade games released through the mid-1980s
through the 1990s, this is definitely worth a look.

This game would be cool if i could get it to work right. Built it on Slack8 and the mouse gets lagged badly even after editing the mouse sensitivity.

Try setting the mouse smoothing to 0.

Mmmh, once mouse smoothing is set to 0, mouse motion events are unfiltered. How many frames per second are you getting? Maybe critter is picking up Mesa and is rendering via software that would make things feel laggy. run 'ldd critter' and make sure it picks up the proper libGL.

If your are getting > 50 fps with mouse smoothing set to 0 and the proper GL libs and it still feels laggy, send me your .critter file, the output of critter (i.e. critter > dump.txt), and your system specs.
