I remember too, it's like it was only yesterday... :)
wow!
The controls were flawless; the gameplay is very addicting; the storyline was enough to get you there without holding you back for 5 minutes! This my friend, is a game worth placing on a console!
...Now for the critique. Your power-ups seemed inefective, i'd have rathered to salvage them if i could than use them. Instead of beams that follow a fixed movement, why not make them mod the weapon you actively use? I'd prefer a spreadshot myself (shotguns ftw~!). As well as that, it took me 6 tries to get to the 2nd stage due to the fact i didnt boost and move up with the arrow. It might be better to make a cut in the levels, or a return-to-rocket feature (or even make the screen pan with the rocket) instead of basing it on yourself to keep it up.
Overall a perfect score, 5/5 10/10 for an awesomely well thought out game. I think i found the next weekly 1st place!

Thank you for the compliments! Yeah, the upgrades were added in a hurry. Basically they're just free bullets because they don't cost energy and they don't count as shots so you get more accuracy points at the end. I like to activate it then just start meleeing everybody because when you're right next to them the bullets always hit. Helps in a pinch.
good but could be better
i've played many of types of games on newgrounds and i'm lovin the old school but in all i'm goin with "Altairic" on this you could do better and i'm seeing it come out. there is many point that he pointed out that made it where it's at. i played all 3 level before really saying anything. the medals was a smart move in my thinking becuase some ppl will keep playing till they have them all like my self lol. there could of been different things that could of make the game a little more different and outset from others. could of had different turning while on the 2nd level and like a moving part on 3rd. would of set this game apart from others. but the rocket in the back made it more of a watch what your doing also which made it great for having to try and do different things at different times so it make it different in that part. controls was easy to get down and not hard to do. melee could of been a different buttion to do. boost could of been in the hub as "Altairic" had said in his. overall i liked it but see where u came from with this i'm sure you can do better.

I admit some parts of the game, particularly upgrades, were rushed and kind of slapped on at the end and a lot of cool ideas I had didn't end up making it in. Though, it means a lot to me that people are recognizing the potential of the game. My game is far from perfect, but with all the ides flowing out of the comments here, I feel like I can make something incredible in the future.
Thank you for the review
Not bad!
Gave this a 9 since i felt the score on this game was a bit low. Loved the atmosphere, for a simple 2d shooter having the rocket in the background and level progression added a lot to the game.
Though some have pointed out the combat itself could use some tuning, overall I thought this game was very unique and offers a lot outside of the standard flash game. Controls were a little wonky too but also unique.
good stuffs
That was fun.
A good, ol' fashion'd arcade-style shooter that's been brought to a simmer, roasted to perfection and then served before anything but the first level was finished.
Great job, but it needs at least two more levels.
