Needs some rebalancing

This Shmup is nearly perfect, but there are some major balancing issues that you need to deal with before it becomes a major contender. First of all is the Spinning Shield. The area damage combined with piercing projectiles and near invincibility make is way stronger than it should be. I went through the entire game powering up nothing but secondary power reduction, making ship combat a joke. Learn the basic pattern and I could beat a boss in less than twenty seconds without taking a single hit. Once I found the safe spot, the final boss was a cakewalk, all because I was able to damage him and negate his bullets at the same time with a single, rechargable weapon.

Money is also an issue. Beyond bosses, nothing really gave enough money compared to the upgrade prices. If you want to make it far in the game, you basicly have to power up a single part to max, and that leaves no points left for anything else.

FInally are the instant kills. Even though they are predictable for the most part, giving nearly all the bosses an instant kill move seems a bit much. I know, in my first point I said it was too easy and now I'm saying it's too hard, but that's the point of balancing.

I know that seems like a lot of negative, but beyond these three things, it's pretty much flawless.

Cool!

the art work wus FANTASTIK! Did u do the art work? As for the game it was also great...and you get 2 choose your ship! Great game make more dude!

PLAY IT!

Brilliant

IMO, this is the best top-down space shooter since Raiden or Drakojan skies. When I read "pre-rendered Graphics and rich storyline", I got a little worried, as many flash games possess those, but still have crap gameplay. However, you managed to make a game with both original gameplay(for a flash game of this genre), and beautiful graphics.
On a side note, I liked Raiden's music better, as it felt a bit more riveting. Whereas Drakojan's gameplay felt a bit more harrowing and kept me on edge. I would also like to be able to switch ships between levels. On the second Level, I felt a bit robbed when the boss killed me in one hit(I had full health!).
Regardless, this is the best shooter to grace newgrounds in quite a few months, I hope you get voted game of the year.

I liked it...

This game is graphically good,with a good strategy!But i warn: there are some donts about it. Maybe in a next time i can give 10/10 and 5/5...

loved it

i find it a relief to all the busy games with hundred of shitps and bullets on screen, nice easy gameplay, and to adreana guy FIND ANOTHER GAME THEN, this is just a different pace of play, dont go b!%#&ing because its not your kind of game.
