Nice graphics and a nice retro-sounding tune. However, it needs a story and the menu system is lackluster. It becomes to easy when you have upgraded your ship/weapons. Needs bosses. Also, as this is NOT a finished product, it shouldn't be posted in the section for finished products.

A nice little vertical space shooter game. get money by killing alien ship and upgrade your ship at the upgrade store.
use arrow key to move and hold space down to shoot
get money by killing alien and then use that money to upgrade your weaponry at the store to be able to make it farther.
game in progress. version: alpha 1.0
This is a very nice demo. I would love to see some expansion applied to this. 150$ is a lot of money, I'll admit, but I feel it could be worth it.
This is okay for a demo. With more work and polish it would be much better.
ok AGAIN...stop uploading demos...either finish the game or dont upload it at all...you have some real potential here...the grapics are killer and the gameplay is smooth but since it is a demo i cant properly rate it...

look, if you give me 150$ then i will be able to finish the game im making for free, until then either be glad you can play them.
There is a reason it's not finished, if no one like it and no one is interrested in it it's not going to get finished, ever.
also second reason is that im using construct 2 free license so there is a limit as to what i can do ''this game as an exemple is at this limit'' i could get all the problem fixed but not with the free version. the personnal license cost 150$ and for now it's just not worth it for me since im not making any money out of it and i want my game to remain completly free
OK. Realizing this was an alpha build makes not want to be as bad to this game, as it is clearly unfinished. So, instead of a critique, heres a few pointers, the music is not that bad but the high pitch 8 bit noises noises can get irritating and ear numbing, it sounds too much like just a whole bunch of noise. The ship could have tighter and faster controls, I feel like Im diving a toy car through a swamp, and this game should have a faster pace, maybe not a bullet heaven kind of fast, but still, you should move faster, the enemies shoud respawn faster, and have more variety, seeing as they follow you slightly maybe you should try adding some kind of suicidal one that tracks you around and blows up for a large amount of damage. Last, you shoud rebalance your weapons, the deafault peashooter does its job adequately, if a bit nerfed for my tastes, but when I got the first upgrade, I just held the fire button, while pressing alternately pushing left and right and just sweeped the screen like that.
As far as the background goes yours is good, some of the debris from the asteroids are a bit confusing but still, not bad at all.
Ultimately this game could go on to be a preety good one some day if you dedicate enough effort to it.
Ill give it 2.5 stars now and change it later if I see enough changes have been made to it to warrant a revisit

i'll take note of that but for now im unable to do any better due do software limitation of the free version, if i want to add more to it i need a 150$ personnal license so im looking if there is enought interrest in my game or not because if no one like them why bother and buy the license and im making my game completly free so..yea..
