pretty good
getting killed in one hit is a little bit much for this style of game

Good, but a few flaws
Very good game, but you might want to tweak a few things in the final version. For one, it's almost impossible to get any more power-ups once you die, because the enemies get stronger. And maybe a little more time to collect the bonuses after a boss, because the shots are still going and you end up dying easily. Other than that, good job.
Bleh
The side scrolling game on newgrounds.
I can't even beat the 1st boss because of all the damn bullets he shoots at once. -.-
Pretty Good
Beautiful graphics and nice sound, but the controls feel a bit slow a is the only reason I'm not giving it a higher score.
Too overpowered, but promising!
Once I got fully powered up (only took until mission two), I basically just sat there and let my something-million projectiles murder everything. This only added to my boredom -- the rehashed bosses (color swaps does not equal good bosses) and the lack of excitement surrounding the bosses (we need some boss music!) were kind of a letdown too.
I gotta say it was pretty-looking, though the levels got boring by level 4 (since they're all 'whee, we're in space' sorta levels....needs more variety).
I still gave this 7/10 because I'm optimistic about the final version. ;3 Add the excitement in that this beta is lacking...and you've got yourself a game!
