Boring shmup...

I think I'd rather go to the arcade than play this, thank you very much. The weapons are seriously under powered, the visuals are dull, the controls are stupid, the ship is too fast, the bullet patterns are laughably simplistic and easy to dodge, the enemies are boring, and the score system is boring.

With all those fallacies in mind it's obvious that this game is mediocre and adds nothing new to the genre. It seems you just made this game because you can. You haven't even studied any modern shumps, either, so this game is extremely outdated when compared to todays shmups. The game has nothing seen in modern shmups. We have interesting power-ups, complex bullet patterns, sharp controls, decent difficulty levels, lush visuals, cool ships, and awesome score systems. All that, and you give us this garbage that barely passes as a shump from the late eighties! Wow.

So-so

Left-to-right shooters instead of top-down is a preference I guess. Just that you can't get a lot on the screen and there's less room to manoeuvre.
All power-ups instantly disappearing forever on death is, well not stupid but hard makes it harder rather than more fun.
Last but not least, no auto-firing cannon? Fail.

Meh

just a run of the mill shooter with some irritating twists. The "invisible wall" in the middle was stupid and gave a lot less room to maneuver, your hit detection was WAY off, shots would hit me despite never coming close to me.

Ships look nice.
Backgrounds look like poop.
Needs more weapons.
Music is ok.
The game just takes so LOOOOOOOONG to do anything. I don't want to wait for more enemies to come on screen. That's no fun. 4/10

Not very good

This is original and fun, unfortunately there are simply too many annoyances.
What's the deal with only one upgrade for your weapon?
Also sometimes if you're trying to get out of the way of incoming bullets (which by the way seem to hit you even when you're meters away), you might move your mouse too fast and off the game screen and your ship becomes unresponsive... that's quite annoying.
