Fun but...
There were two things that greatly detracted from this game. The first and lesser problem was that whenever you picked up missiles, it automatically switched to them, which was a pain, since I didn't want to waste good missiles on weak enemies or bad missiles on bosses.
Second, and much, much more annoying was the tendency for the game to lock the last button I pressed until I pressed it again, which made me fly to the edge of the screen and get stuck at least 100 times, plus at least once a level, this glitch would waste like four mega bombs in a row.
It was a good game, but the control glitches made some parts nearly unplayable.
waaaaayyyyyyyy tooooooo easy
this has crapy quality and its easy but it kept me interested
Upgrade treadmill.
Are you familiar with the term "upgrade treadmill"? The upgrade treadmill is a term in consumer electronics for when you buy a device, and then a week later the company comes out with version 2 of that device with twice the capability at half the cost. You would have been better off waiting a week for the new one, except that if you had, then a week after *that* there would have been an even *cheaper* and *better* version 3. This makes the consumer feel cheated, like they are having to buy the same device over and over just to keep up.
That's what this game feels like. When I buy a new ship, all my hard-earned upgrades become useless, and I find out that I have to buy them *again*. When I open the elite market, the normal market becomes useless because nothing in there is worth the slot anymore. I assume the black market will render the elite market just as much a waste of money, but I'm getting off the treadmill now, before I find out.
Its a shame, you went to the trouble of making a store and three dozen or more upgrades, but between the six slot limit and the "losing everything between ships", it feels like the only way not to get ripped off is to avoid the store entirely until late game.
Maybe give us a few slots *per store*, or a better ratio when selling things back, I don't care, just something to make me feel like I didn't waste all my money the first time I see the elite market. If you have to sacrifice the realism of limited slots for better gameplay, do it. And please PLEASE don't make us buy everything a second third and fourth time when we upgrade ships! What did we ever do to you? Why do you hate us? :'(
Also, the wormhole for the special store keeps moving even while time is stopped, and powerups should disappear/change/color or give some other instant indication when the are picked up, otherwise it is hard to tell whether or not I hit them.

I found too many problems to really enjoy this game. For starters, the ship models take up way too much screen space, which allows for only a few to be on screen, as well as difficulty dodging attacks. The graphics were pretty bad, especially the man that talks to you. However this game was extremely easy, too easy in fact.
