Amazing
It is so much fun to watch your weapons get upgraded. It is really fun when you have unlocked everything.

How do you expect..
.. us to shot at an enemy right in front of us? The only way to shoot the enemy is to go right up to them and shoot them, but that puts you in their range of fight.
OMFG!
This sucks...it's 5:40 AM and I havn't slept a minute! :eek:
Oh yeah, and about the game...it's pretty awesome obviously! Completely forgot about the time. True, it's kinda hard but enjoyable, at least on the easiest difficulty. The controls were ok, I got used to the slipperiness very quick.
The levels were long, but there was a fair amount of checkpoints and I loved that there were no lives and you could just try as often as you needed to.
The game also had a few serious flaws, though. First, the weapons were imbalanced. A few of them were downright useless (a chainsaw in a space shooter? Come on! Those are for zombies). I also hated the fact that a new weapon always replaced the currently used, because I obviously used the one I liked best or wanted to level up most of the time and when I picked up a new one accidentally, it was lost. I would even take enemy bullets just to avoid replacing my precious rockets with that stupid chainsaw...instead, replacing the backup weapon with the new one would have been less frustrating.
Second problem, the shield. I actually liked the gameplay and the high enemy density, but the shield failed to make up for the insane amount of enemy bullets on the screen. I learned how to use it quite well throughout the game, but there were A LOT of situations where it was just impossible not to get shot down or at least severely damaged. You should have made the shield a bit longer lasting, therefore charge the EMP slower so the game could have kept its balance.
Anyways, though not perfect, it was a great game which deserves a better score than 3,9x in my book. I really hope you make a sequel or a similar game with slight improvements.
Woot
I love this game. Its always fun to watch you pea shooter turn into a mega cannon. Its true, you will die on this game. You will die alot. But your weapon progress is saved and there are several checkpoints throughout the level so its not so bad. If you want a real challenge then try fighting your way through the final levels with a lvl 1 weapon. Ouch. Of course if you want it to be easy you can put it on easy, max out the large laser blaster, and go to town on EVERYTHING! Oh and to address these supposed "control slips", some weapons will knock you around a bit if you get hit or more obviously you'll get knocked around if you actually touch one of the enemy ships without your shields up. Its not really a control slip so much as being slapped around like a $5 whore. Of course its pretty easy to avoid if you keep your distance, but sometimes an enemy will come off the back end of the screen and knock your forward, chaos ensues. The only major thing I'd suggest for this game is having more than a minor change in graphics and a power boost when leveling weapons. Adding in more lasers or missles or bigger blasts or adding in some stronger homing. To sum this game up in one word. Woot.
awesome
haha these guys must really suck, i get up to the last boss and he kinda owns me. i will beat this game!
but seriously, i loved this game, excellent graphics, good sound and the fact that your weapons had to be upgraded in order to actually stand even a chance of beating the later levels was pretty damn good.
my only criticisms are that
1) the game is very very hard, and i mean truely insane at times
2) i can't turn the music off. its impressive, but after a while (and to complete it you need a while) it does kinda get on your nerves
hope you make a sequel XD
