HOW THE HELL ADVANCE!!!!!!!
Well, I cant say much since I could only pass the first level and nothing, but it was great how you could make this AWESOME-O

Love it but...
Seems to get stuck for me after the first level. Maybe I'm dumb and don't see how to advance, but a big "click here to continue" button would help me out.
Lengthy Fun Shooter
I couldn't stop playing this until I finished it. It starts off a little bit easy, but it gets maniacal toward the end. The difficulty increases at just enough to keep me on edge without making it unplayable. The bosses are a highlight of the game. Getting through the levels is the easier part, but I find myself hoarding and saving powerups just for the big battle at the end. It's so crazy with the big boss battles that I couldn't even focus where I was aiming, just keep my ship from getting hit.
The card buying system is also pretty nifty. I never got to try the rocket wingman, but the laser wingman was really cool. My one question was with the "permanent" weapon power up. Can a person buy and sell the permanent weapon level card to make it more and more powerful? An indicator saying what level the weapon is at would be nice if that's the case.
In any case, add a cool background and you've got yourself a perfect game. The submission of high scores is just icing on the cake. Excellent work on a fast paced fun game.
Lots of action
Good game. A bit easy, but there is a lot of action and it doesn't get boring.
loved it
Awesome game. I really enjoyed it.
Graphics were pretty good, nothing spectacular but they worked well for this game. Although at level 1 I was dodging the little black squares that were flying in the background because I thought they were the enemy bullets :). I was killing the enemies so fast that they didn't get the chance to fire so that's why I thought the little black pixels were their bullets :).
The "cards" idea was great. You could customize your ship the way you wanted though I think towards the end everybody gets the same 4 cards (if they know what's good for them :)). Nevertheless good idea that really spiced up the game.
The game got a bit laggy when there was ton of things going on and bullets flying everywhere but it didn't bother me at all. I liked how the hitting point for the ship wasn't that big so you could actually avoid the bullets even if the screen was filled with them. That adds the "skill" factor to the game which is very good. Makes me feel like I'm pwning with my godly evasion skills :).
If there's something to complain I think it was a bit easy. It didn't really get challenging until the last two levels. Even then I only lost one ship during the whole game and that was to the lvl 9 boss.
Overall awesome game. Great job!
