I like the improvements so far. Keep it up! Along with Fiuros's ideas, I think the powerups should have a unique color (shields are blue, health is red, etc etc). Could the enemies have different attack styles (split shot, missles, etc)? Just a few thoughts...
I think what he means is that the ship handles slow. There is also no border so I can fly off the screen in any direction. Needs a mute button, and sound fx for firing would be nice.
Yes, I see the Ship but where's the Death? Also, I can drive the ship off into infinity off either side. Throw in some barriers and give me things to kill :D
