Here is an updated version of my Shooter engine. I now have given it a name Tactix. This is just a brief update so players can use the 2 different difficulties.
Updates

+ Sounds
+ Music
+new difficulty
+updated art for Main MENU and WIN screen(s)

Controls =
SPACE or LEFT will go to Easy or HARD automatically
SPACE = FIRE
WASD = movement

I know the game really needs a loading screen. please post a link to a tutorial on making a loading screen plz if anyone can.

I know the BSOD needs to go. it will be gone by the final version.

Enjoy. comments or ideas welcome.

NOW updated with NG loader

Hmm well...

Well i thought it was pretty good. I thought the music could have been a little louder than the game itself. The hard mode was very hard and also the easy mode. But thats me. Anyways nice work and i hope to see more from you in the future.

Very Hard!

Well, i think this game is very hard, even on easy!You should make it easier, and it would be cool if we have score.
Overall, there is nothing new or creative

Improve the graphics

The player ship wasn't bad and if all the enemies were of a similar quality it would be an improvement. Perhaps have a health bar instead of those numbers underneath. More room on the screen would be good that way you could keep the insane amount of fire coming at you while still having a chance of surviving. I'd also have a few seconds before the enemies appeared, the first time I played I died straight away. Keep working on the idea tho, I think you can make it a lot better.

on the right track

It was hard at first, got the hang of it in a few tries. Still, getting a decent score is a challenge, even on easy, perhaps it could more appropriately have been named medium or something. However, we're not here to debate how things are called, back to the game. It was kinda short, but fast paced. A good variety of enemies. The graphics could have been better, but the engine works smoothly. Since this is some sort of update, a work in progress, it doesn't need to be perfect in every aspect, and it isn't, but the engine works. I'm confident that this could lead to a very good game, but it isn't one yet.

Suggestions...

Better graphics, less hostile bullets at a time, and perhaps a power up or two and you'll have something here -- nothing ground breaking but a step in the right direction nonetheless.

Good luck.
