A bit easy
But still fun. On the last level, I only had one guy left, but that one guy was more than enough. It doesn't seem like strength scales with the size of the ship, but rather that the smaller your ship, the more concentrated the damage, making the game rediculously simple when reduced to only one vessel. Still, it was a solid game and I haven't seen that much that uses the same ideas in the same way, so I guess it's a good effort.
Awesome for something mae in 48 hours
Short and addictive. Don't listen to people whining about how "hard" this game is (they're just not from the nintendo-hard generation :P), I noticed you put in a kind of countermeasure to losing inva-I mean DEFENDERS by letting the rest fire more often and more powerful, so even 1 defender can wreak immense havoc while having an easy time dodging. The main difficulty was when the slow bullets and mines fill the screen and there are 5 rockets chasing your fleet, but everyone who has been through a danmaku/bullet hell game a la Raiden (or dare I say it? Tohou!) can get through that easily - not without losses, but you only need 1 Defender alive to win. My only complaint is it could have had better (maybe space invader-ish) sounds or music to go with it and maybe even the "player" cannon from the original as final boss of sorts!
Infinite Mode
It would be great to have an Arcade/Infinite Mode.
Boring at first...
But got fun over time, I liked how it got harder and harder how the level's went on but dislike the fact that well it got soo hard to a point!
Simple but addictive
