A few notes:

So the visuals are nice, but does it improve the gameplay?

Mostly yes, but not always:
- the visuals of the powerups: ingame > Little and Big. In the hud: Green and Red

About the introduction:
ESC function to skip is nowhere to be found and you cant follow it if you are a slow reader (had to start over 2 times to read it all > okay, i am a bit tired now =P)

About the HELP: No info about the enemies

About pressing buttons (introscreen): No visual signs that you've pressed a button - for people without sound or with music on for example

Great Game, I liked it.

Title says it all?

Fun but...

Kind of annoying that I have to click to move the shield. I'd rather it just follow the mouse. Also the title screen and story fade in and out reeeeeaaaallly slowly, it gets a little long at times. Finally I didn't know what to do right away, the help page was really insufficient no offense.

Now for the good stuff. ^_^ The game concept was great. Good music, sounds, & graphics. Controls were smooth (except for the clicking thing mentioned above). Overall, 7/10.

THIS GAME WUZ TIGHT

Loved it a lot mate. ;] I can tell this took you a long time to make, and because of that, I gives you teh gold star. * pins gold star on chest *

This is a...

great concept. The graphics and the audio are nice and the controls are a bit tricky at first, but when you get used to playing, they are rather smooth. Make some more. You gave an awesome effort on this skill game. Great job...........vp
