8/10 because..
I really love side or up scrolling shooter, especially when they have a lot of different weapons and powerups :)
This game is not so hard as some of the other reviewer think, there are a lot of checkpoints, and after every death you keep you weapon xp. Maybe its to hard to succeed without losing a life or two.
I gave this game "only" 8 Stars because:
The fast but light shielded ist quite useless, there is just too much enemy fire , dodging is too hard.(-1)
So many weapons, just 2 slots, thats mean. (-1)
At last but not least, theres a bug in the final stage, the boss doesent appear... at the end you keep on flying without enemy contact :( (-1)
After nearly 2 h of playing, something like that is really frustrating ... but i enjoyed this 2 hours so (+1)
I hope you will fix this.
