This is pretty fun. For 5 minutes atleast.
But after that it gets monotonous, with very little to do but try and get some achievements.
It's a bit laggy and that makes it frustrating especially if you click outside by mistake when the enemies are near the right edge of the screen.
You could have added a shop where you can buy stuff to modify your weapon.
Also, I think the 30,000 medal is for the base score not the final score, because I got a final score of 42,000 after adding bonuses and still didn't get it.
All in all, a good game. Make a better version next time and you'll get the remaining half star as well.

Thanks for the feedback - all great suggestions. I'll double check the 30k medal, it shouldn't have a requirement like that.
If anything I think you were too generous with this score, but I appreciate it all the same. The next game will be more depthful, and I'll try to patch this one up this week.
An overall good game, but (as with most games) it would have been better if you could choose what you upgrade
VictorGrunn responds:
Thanks. Yeah, this game was thin on depth all around (plus the first time I did art in years, which is why it's less attractive than electrikill.) But thanks for playing and the feedback all the same!
I was pretty freaking amazed at how cool this game was! I was quite disappointed when I couldn't get a higher score every time I started a new game. This is still great even though the graphics aren't that good. You certainly know how to motivate a person to complete something. The sounds were really good too. I loved how there were all sorts of different enemies to shoot at.
It was a fairly original game overall. It sounded like balloons popping whenever you hit your target. There's a nice variety of colors being used too. Oh, I thought the medals were for every new level you got to. You have to watch these rascally aircrafts!
VictorGrunn responds:
Wow, thanks. I'm glad you liked the game. Yeah, this was the first time I ever attempted to do any art for a game - I need to get much better there.
Feedback appreciated, I'll use this to make better stuff!
I'm just glad this saves data, as I had to close and re-open to refresh and get rid of some lag.
After all was said and done, I got all medals and 189K score.
Final level, finally! Sure took a while to reach that last level! The medals don't feel very balanced that way, with the huge gap between all and the last two, but the gameplay itself is as balanced as it can get. Great variation in enemies and scores, though the pop-over notices for extra ammo/score are a bit in the way if you finish a wave late, and the next one is right after. Also, seems the more I play this, the more it starts lagging. But a browser restart and it's OK again, seems like maybe a little memory leak there? Anyway, game itself: love it. It's arcade gaming as it's best, challenging but rewarding; not difficult to get into or keep going with. Good game.
