Not bad, but has some rough points

I was kind of inclined to close the game when I died twice within the first 3 seconds of the game from those instant kill explosions, but I gave it a chance. I'm glad I did, because the game isn't bad. I don't regret playing it, and there's a decent amount of potential here. However, there are some key problems that should be addressed. Firstly, there's a bug where my score and money turned to NaN, so I was able to buy the best upgrade and ship by the second level since there was no limit to my money anymore. That's the big one. Smaller problems include enemies shooting at you from offscreen on the sides. Shouldn't really be allowed to happen. Also, your dark lord with the eyeball should probably speak a little more ominously. "Ooooh, what's this? A resistence?" sounds like something a bratty twelve year old would say, rather than a feared ruler.
Some of the sounds were a little bit annoying, but that's inevitable in a space shooter. Overall, the sound was well chosen and managed.
You should team up with a skilled artist to really bring the cutscenes to life. A scripter shouldn't have a hard time finding one.
An overall scoring of seven may sound harsh, but I don't throw around high scores, so it should be taken as more of a positive than a negative.

Strange. That 'NaN' score bug escaped our testing here. Ill check it.

Thanks for your review. Usefull reviews are the most apreciated. :)

not bad, but

controls are little unresponsive, some of the easys ships kill you waaay too easy and it makes the game frustrating, i would like to see mouse control, but oh well

sspecter responds:

well, the game is supposed to be hard :)
The controls (of the cheaper ships) are supposed to be a little unresponsible. It is because they have a low deceleration rate. Its sad you didnt like that though :(

not bad, but not great

pretty nice looking, games grapics i feel maybe could be a little more sharp/improved, and your ships is way too weak from the start, it only takes 1 small miss calculation and u die.... there should be a progress bar on the level and once u reach past some parts you continue from there.
Also the music is anoying could you not add in a better tune or have a choise of 3.
In all tho a great little game.

Nice work.

An Iridion-style game. Nice job!!! It's quite cool how your allies just randomly came and went like "need some help?" Well Yeah! It would be cool to purchase guys and make them fight as wingmen

sspecter responds:

But you have wingmen :). Sadly you only get them in middle of the game (after 2nd stage), as a special.

Nice idea buying them as permanent wingmen, thought.
