Pissed me off
The blue enemies don't get out of your way. A little difficult to move around them, but the game was good otherwise.

I understand how much effort it takes. It just has a few flaws.
A good game if it's a prototype
I think this is a good game. it's a shame players can't live without their power-ups or their xbox styled games, but linear games like this are good (if by linear you mean side scrolling [aka: raiden, The Guardian Legend, etc]) but they do have a point. the music is simply to repeatitive and the enemies and boss fights are to simple. Create some back story, like maybe you are sent out as a first line of defence to attack an evading horde of alians, chasing them back to their leader to rid them from this part of the galaxy. Also, the background was to simple as well... try to vary it a little, like change it when it gets to a boss fight, which could also use some work as well. The boss fights change color as they take more damage, which is a plus, but maybe you could change that also, like show some battle damage (say the first boss starts to break apart, like a few engines blow out or show some smoke and fire trailing from it.) Also.. try to change up their attacks too.. If you need inspiration, play The Guardian Legend. It's an old nintendo classic but the boss fights are pretty awesome for an old style game. Like this one boss's attack is it shoots out homing missles that go one direction before targeting you, and it'll follow you for maybe 2 seconds before it stops following you and keeps going in that direction. It's just a suggestion but I think if you take and work on this game a little bit you'll make a classic Newgrounds game. Keep at it and just work it out. If you need some more tips just message me and i'll help ya out with it.
Good...
Fun to play, but it would be better if there was more upgradeable weapons and such.
