what the heck?
i went through an entire game without picking getting any powerups... or to be more correct.... no powerups ever showed up.
what's up with that? is it completly random? i passed through about 4 of those asteroid fields and was blasting away and there still no power up.
also the controls felt super duper sluggish.
anyway that's why you got an 8.
the sound was great.. the graphics were awesome... you got some style there too.
it was an good game... just infuriating at points.
nice!
that was a sweet game. i've played a number of shooter-style games in my life, but this one here had to be one of the best i've ever played. the graphics were nice, awesome plot to it, good weapons, sweet action, highly addicting and it offered some killer entertainment.
great job on this one, it was great. i can sure see why this one made it onto the NG front page and won an award.
this one was a lot of fun.

i liked the game a lot but at the beginning it is to strength....also the time between "game over" an the option for a new game is too long.
but summarized it's very good!!
Hmm... not bad, but there's more to it
As an expert Gradius player, I've seen MUCH more frustration than this. Good game, but I kept on thinking, "This is the LAST power up level...?" Not just that, but you should have the player restart the level rather than panic about seeing the power-ups lost. Ya perhaps know better than that antebios. But the true sorrow is the fact that you cannot customize how the weapons impact opponents. Take Gradius III as an example, either that or, JUST ON THIS SITE MAN, Starfire. Both are great examples that could be taken from.
Doing great antebios, keep it up. I'm rootin for ya as a shooter junkie. This concept is not junk. hahaha :-)
Oh, it's Gradius
I really like this game, takes me back to Saturday mornings playing Gradius III on the SNES. Also people complaining that it's too hard need to stfu and go play something on Neopets lol. My only problem is that you should be able to keep stocks of your power-ups ala Gradius so you don't have to deal with dumb shit like the fucking bombs that just drop.
