It seems like an alright game, but I don't understand the hit detection at all. Bullets will hit my ship all day long, and I can even pass through streams of them, but then sometimes I'll die, and sometimes I won't. I just don't understand.

It's in the tutorial, the hitbox is the flashing square on the ship.
now where is the promised bullet hell?
ZEGMAN responds:
Around level 16 +
Why the hell does it lagg like no tomorrow? It just aint responding inmidiately. It's a good game and I love bullet hell games but for some reason I get lag spikes even on lowest settings. I got the lag especially a lot when I shoot the boss. I use firefox as default browser and I have updated and use the newest flash player. 64 bit system. So, maybe a tip how to increase performance?
ZEGMAN responds:
Not sure, sorry bud :(
At first, it should definitely be placed in the "Skill-Avoid" category since despite the bosses there isn't much shooting in this game. You have to be very patient at unlocking some of the achievements and playing because with so many bullets at the time even with changing to lowest quality the game sometimes lags like hell, I even seen few times the "ghost" of my ship in the place in which I was few seconds ago. About the medals: I got (is it supposed to be like this?) the Beating the game medal after beating only 26 levels. I also wonder what the trophies medals are about (achievemenst, ribbons?).
Nevertheless the game itself is challenging and very good. Minus half of a star only because of the the abovementioned lag.
PS
Few years after playing this game for the first time I must take away 1,5 stars because of the lag. In the meantime I bought a new laptop and if the game's performance is still that poor it is the lack of optimization.

It works if you use the ng-player.
