I know it's a little bit harder than the "Dora the Explorer" games you're used to playing, WarlordFAN. Don't be sad that you can only manage to get 38K. :_(
Sakket, part of the strategy of the game (and there IS strategy) is deciding when to shoot the ships and whether to go get the crystals. If you wait until the ships are closer to shoot them, getting the crystals is easier. However, this makes you more vulnerable to letting ships pass you. If you develop a pattern to shooting the ships and collecting the crystals, it becomes much easier. You have to get into a kind of rhythm to do that though, which comes with practice.
Raideen, not being able to shoot while moving diagonally up and left is due to your keyboard, as far as I can tell. It does the same thing on my work keyboard (though I CAN shoot while moving down and right), but on my keyboard at home I don't have that problem. I don't know if it's a bug in Flash or what, but there's nothing in my code that would cause that.
Mootixguy... where have you read bad things about it???
Thanks Rybo5000, but I did quite a bit more than just change the graphics. I've probably put in somewhere between 80-100 hours on this game, mostly on scripting (it is my first game, after all). Still, I appreciate the compliment. Thanks to everyone else who has commented so far too!
