I really wanted to love your game, I swear.
Unfortunately, that just wasn't possible due to the multiple errors and major problems this game possessess. Most noticeably is the huge glitch that happens at the boss fight where there's another layer added to part of the background and you can only see the exhaust and projectiles of your ship but not the ship itself, and the boeing and it's beam also completely disappeared. This glitch also seems to be happening to the other players, which throws me off a bit. Do you play test your games before you release them? Because that was a very, very obvious flaw for you to miss if you've actually played your own game.
Also, the gameplay itself was pretty good, but I hated the way the levels just kind of ended. You had no idea when it was comming, either. The level just stopped. You have to add in some kind of transition between levels, my friend, otherwise it just doesn't look right.
Also, the typing in the text briefings was grammatically terrible, and the first set of ingame text flew through way, way too fast. I couldn't read parts and I'm an extremely fast reader... Just another reason to play test your game...
Basically, your engine is pretty good, but the lack of pollish does so much to detract from feeling like this is a complete and great game. Definately try harder next time, a little bit of pollish goes a long way and makes a so-so game a great one.
