A quite decent side scrolling shooter, especially since there were many others around this time that came nowhere near the quality of this one. The story wasn't bad, but I think I've seen it and the name on another submission for a very different game, so maybe you got the idea from the same source.
As for game play, I really enjoyed the boss fights, as they moved around quite frequently and had a variety of attacks, the same however, cannot be said for the basic enemies. It would significantly improve the game if you had better enemy AI for the standard enemies because as it is, you can just stay in the same spot and hold down fire until you get to the boss.
It was mostly functional, until I died and it said two credits, but I couldn't re spawn at all. And as the person below me said, the game shouldn't be skipable.
