Great game
Fun game It has style, something alot of games kinda dont have.
The only problem i saw was when you go all rapid fire everything just kinda speeds up and i end up dead.
But super game
Reviews for "Project: Monochrome"
I love it!
Wow, you wasted a whole evening of mine! This is tons better than raiden X and should be very top of the portal! *ahem* normally I'm a very strict reviewer, but as here I can't be nasty I shall be constructive instead.
With the gameplay I find it very entertaining and I like the fact that there are no homing missiles for the lazys, so it always requires actually moving, and dodging bullets ect. I like the fact that your lives respawn, so that better players don't get it easier in later levels (as in raiden), and I like the fact that you ditch the "pick up powerups and get into places where you are easily shot" for "buy your weapons sensibly and switch between at will".
The graphics are nice and the shading is done well. I'm not sure if the stylish b+w is better than the clear & fun full colour, but it looks nice at the moment so I won't complain about it (I had fun messing with invert colours).
The sound is a little annoying and I favoured weapons which made almost no sounds because the weapons are pretty bad, and yet I didn't turn sound right off because there is a certain thrill that only comes with a big explosion when killing a boss. The music complimented it and didn't take over, so that was pretty good.
Style finally is awesome. I like the setup, the menus, and as said the b+w works well. I really can't say anything to add that would make a sequel better, it's spot on as it is.

Awesome review man, I like good reviewers. YOU SIR, ARE A GOOD REVIEWER
THis game is awesome!!!!
This game is soo much fun i got to lv 30 and got stuck cause i didnt buy a good back fire gun. The worst part is i stayied there for like 5 mins shooting and i didnt know if he was almost dead i suggest add a boss heatlh bar or something. This is a great game make a sequel to it with more lvs and upgrades!
Great game.
Overall, this was a great game. I'm at the final boss now, and I seriously want a health bar...
There are only a few things I didn't like with the game, and they were pretty small... For the lazer, I think it would've looked better as a solid stream. Also, one or two of the computer tips didn't give the best weapon... It's either I lack patience, or the wave shot didn't take down the larger enemies fast enough to use it on non-small ship only levels. I love the weapon on the lower right corner... So fast firing, plus a sine wave.... Yay sine waves :)
... and I want a boss health bar, or atleast visible damage... I've been assuming that fast movement=close to death, but the final boss has me confused.
All my 5 are belong to this.
Project: Success
Enemies: 4/5: Good variety and bosses, but geez those stationary turrets are a pain.
Upgrades *drool*: 4/5: Again, good variety, but they don't all work extremely good.
First impression: 5/5: Grabs your attention without being soley dedicated to it.
Replay value: 3/5: For the different upgrades.
Storyline: 5/5: Not hard to follow or forget, but effeciantly fused into the game.
