easily one of the best games on newgrounds.awesome graphics,sound...
everything is great!the game is also very challenging and no upgrades make it become too easy.also,lots of hard medals to collect to extend replay value.seriously,there is not a single moment that i did not enjoyed.i especially liked the final battle when you are fighting a freaking black hole!and i like how you make the challenging without a single frustrating level.and i agree with someone below me,im glad theres no impossibles medals like beat the game without being hit or beat the game without upgrades...

Hey bro

This reminds me of Raptor & Tyrian, is this at all inspired from tyrian to be exact?

Afro-Ninja responds:

So...

I'm absolutely terrible at these types of games, but I grew up in an age where the Commodore 64 had amazing games. So, watching games evolve over the years has been interesting. There are a TON of these types of games out there, but that shouldn't even be an argument or come up as a negative; the game should be reviewed for what it is and a good bit of people are doing that now; thank god.

A LOT of testing went into this beast. I only wrote the music and made suggestions that helped improve things from time to time, but Afro-Ninja did an amazing job with the engine and gameplay tightening. This is, by far, his best piece of work yet, and he's got some awesome stuff out there.

I definitely had fun writing the music for this. I agree the loops are short, however we had to cut back in order to save on size since MP3's tend to be the reason a lot of projects are huge.

We REALLY appreciate everyone checking it out. If you didn't enjoy it, that's too bad and we're sorry it didn't catch your attention more. If you liked it/ loved it; AWESOME; we had a lot of fun with this one. Thanks again for playing, everyone!

very well done.

every so often there will be a game that comes out on NG that i spend hours playing. this is one of them. the music is pretty catchy, the game play is pretty smooth, and there aren't any bugs that i have noticed. bravo.

VERY COOL

Loved your retro top-down shooter. Only just clocked it. For a while I thought the vortex thing was impossible. But it's actually a lot easier than the level before "Coeus". A very satisfying game. Nice controls, nice level ups, nice mods. All in all pretty cool bro.
