I have gown to enjoy these action shooter types and you bring on some interesting elements, There is some good quality about this game and Thats what I really liked, The bosses are good in this game anyways nice work on this fun filled game here

~X~

A really good game IMO with lots of quality content in. I like the music, the artwork and the depth in the attack patterns for some enemies, especially for the bosses. They are really advanced, different and fun.

It is pretty inspiring. The game is a really nice try but there are some major bugs which I guess have given this game a low score. Most notably the cut-off enemy spawn for some levels. Sometimes when you start a level you only encounter enemies to the very left so most of them spawn off screen I guess.

I guess this game has been hard to code and given that most of the games here on Newgrounds are made by hobbyist game developers who are not very experienced I think it is a really nice try. Some tips tho: The game could use a tracking of how far you have got in each stage. The later stages can get tedious and you can get to a point when you question if it ever ends. The two types of shots were a nice feature I have not seen implemented in this way earlier. The waves that clear bullets were a little OP tho, but the projectiles that can not be cleared were a clever implemention. It forces you to use forks to hit the enemies.

The genre is wrong by the way. Horizontal Flight is when it scrolls to the side. This is vertically.

half a star, because it was fun (albeit quite easy) but when I haD A BUNCH OF POWER UPS AND LEVEL 6 STARTED WITH NO ENEMIES AND WOULDN'T END, I HAD TO RESTART THE LEVEL LOSING ALL OF MY POWERUPS. oops, im not mad, just hit caps by accident and dont feel like retyping. my sloppy review is a reflection of this sloppy game.

I wish I could be more positive, but there are quite a few problems with this game.

First and foremost, everything seems to be pushed to the left side of the screen. There are very few enemies that show up on the the middle/right side, unless it's a large wave, spanning the entirety of the screen, and they only appear in the first few levels. Throughout the game, there are even enemies that are mostly obscured by the left side of the screen because they are pushed so far to the left.

There are some waves of enemies that seem like they should be appearing from the extreme left or right of the screen, but suddenly spawn near the middle with no warning, causing damage to your player. This seems like it is linked to how offset the game is to the left side.

It is nice to have two modes of attack, but having one destroy bullets (wave) and one only damage enemies (trident) makes one far superior to the other, especially when they seem to deal the same amount of damage. I used the wave through the entire course of the game for it's obvious advantages, rendering the trident completely useless. Also, the power-ups seemed to have only worked twice. With the trident upgrades, you receive a (slightly) left and right angled shot after collecting two upgrades, respectively. With the wave, you get get simultaneous left and right shooting balls that get bigger with the second upgrade collection. After that, the upgrades seem to stop working. This is also another advantage to the wave attack, seeing how you get both a left and right attack upgrade, further rendering the trident useless, as it upgrades slower.

Another one of the more major problems with this game is that every single enemy only dropped one coin. Small enemies, big enemies, bosses; every one only dropped one coin. This, coupled with the fact that the upgrades were disproportionately expensive turned the game into a boring grind, especially in the early levels. I had to repeat the first and second level several times to upgrade my attacks enough to beat the second boss.

You certainly have some potential, but this stuff needs a lot of work. I hope to see more of your work in the future!

Would be a lot more interesting if the projectiles that were shot at you couldn't be destroyed. As it is, it's too easy and boring for my taste; especially considering I could just play Touhou and get an actual challenge.
