Too slow
The first 5 levels were very boring, and moved to slowly. Stopped playing at this point.
Gameplay idea wasn't bad.

Hey, just thought I'd let you know I've been reading all your feedback and reviews including this one and will be adding a new version by tomorrow hopefully which should address most of the issues people are concerned about.
great...
design to the music.. pretty hard though ;-)
Neat idea, bit of fun.
It's a hard game to learn and get good at so unnatural from other games. I think something abit more fast paced and less risky could be fun and maybe alternate keyboard position options. I'd feel more comfortable with AWSD and JIKL or something like that. Overall spice it abit and maybe expand the tunnels. steering is important but it feels like the main focus and the shooting is an annoying secondary aspect.
Innovative gameplay? On Newgrounds??? WOW!
First, kudos on doing something new! The scene has been a bit stale around here lately. The concept is neat and adds a challenge.
Except it's over way too quickly, and like other reviewers have said, you'll rarely use all of your lives even on the harder settings. I gave it a 7 because it wasn't hard. It had such great potential to be a skill-based game (if it were being played by one person) but ends up being a timewaster. I agree with some of the other suggestions- maybe adding some kind of powerups for the weapons, or shields would add to the experience, and work on the level design (I never touched the forward / back keys, no reason to).
I really wanted to score this higher, but it's not a game I'd come back to over and over (in its current state.) That doesn't mean I didn't like it. Looking forward to a sequel perhaps?

Thanks Bogus83, I have more planned for this series don't worry :).
Nice
never seen a game like thisone... very original on making 2 ships to move at the same time... and very good graphics, you know.. when you shoot, the raygun moves, and every other little detail that not much people cares about..
Very cool anyways.. ^_^
