This is the second game I've made using the flixel library and the first that I've uploaded to newgrounds. I was originally going to upload it a few days ago, but then the NG 2012 redesign happened and everything fell into chaos.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this game. I spent two months working on it. If you find a bug, or have any comments or feedback, feel free to write a review or send me a PM.

This game reminds me about Geometry Wars for the Xbox 360, except for the fact that the enemies were mobile on the Xbox. The comparison certainly isn't a bad thing, though, I loved that game, and from what I can tell so far, this game is awesome as well!
Love the upgrade system and the fact that you have health and don't just die instantly, something Geometry Wars really could've used. The music and graphics are somewhat simple, but fit well to the general theme to the game. Overall I liked it quite a bit, don't really think I have much to nitpick about. Keep up the great work! :)

This was an enjoyable and simple game. The Movement controls were a bit too unresponsive, even during untouchable mode, which made certain points unnecessarily harder than they were likely intended to be. The basic weapon is perfect for it's purpose and fires and aims well, although it only just holds up, up to Skynet levels. Beyond that, even it's tier 3 shotgun effect is almost useless.
I did enjoy the fact that the second weapon option was unlocked well before the end of the game, and it encouraged me to continue playing even after I had died thrice with the basic weapon. However, despite there still being some challenge to the game using the seekers, it did feel a touch over powered at times, and i found myself wanting for a middle ground weapon.
The Variety of Foes was pleasant and diverse enough for the length of the game, and i did not at any point feel bored with any individual foe type. Had the game had another set of levels however beyond the final boss, the older foes would have started to feel dated.
Beyond that, my only complaint is a personal one in that the background/setting got rather tiresome after awhile.
If you make a sequel, I would suggest greater variety of enemies, more weapon options that are varied and distinguished, and a change of local or appearance there of. Some more creative Enemy fire would be a good idea also, Like Shots that turn 90 degree's after x distance, or lasers that rebound at set travel distances rather than just off of walls.
thanks for the feedback!

Great game! The only thing that I could suggest to you would be to expand on the games elements such as more upgrades/weapons, more enemy types, etc. just a general increase in the size of the game. You could easily take what you have here, enlarge it, and change this from a pretty damn fun game, into an epic masterpiece of epic proportions. All in all I had a great time playing it and thought that it was terribly fun.

Fun game! The only things I can suggest improvement on are the following.
1.) Have the "!" Indicator make the sound effect only after it has finished charging. I don't know how many times I heard that sound and fired just to see that the weapon was not fully charged yet.
2.) Have the option to remove the text. It can be very distracting to have text going across the screen while the player is trying to concentrate on accuracy and avoiding enemy fire.
