Great game, but it's damn annoying that it's 'recommended' you use mouse controls, and when you do, the game freezes up for long periods of time. 3/5 because of this.

marcus steele is second and third. he didnt put a space in his name the first time, so he took it upon himself to beat the game on day one again, to get that space

we need you to save the world from 10 massive alien ships. unfortunately we're on a budget so here's 20 dollars and an old escape pod we duct taped a gun onto.

Found a bug. On the last boss, if he's mid-charge on a laser and you bring him down to 2/3 health, the laser is frozen on the screen. Doesn't do damage, but makes it that much more cluttered.

Gunman: Sir! they are shooting red bullets at us, we have recognize they're pattern and are avoiding them . Captain: HA! red bullets, no problem! Gunman: Sir! they have started shooting yellow bullets at us as well. Captain: *takes off sunglasses* By the Gods! we are doomed....

I think the game can be legitly beaten in 2 days but on day 1 you're simply not fast enough. You absolutely need 2 speed upgrades. And then a lot of patience.

I love the progress feel you get from being able to kill the first bosses that used to seem impossible really easily once you're upgraded more.

its a cool game the bosses look really good, makes you kinda wish the ship would become cooler cooler looking as you upgrade but a very good game anyhow.

Actually along the same line, there's an old intellivision game named Dreadnaught where you had these giant battleships approaching earth one at a time and you had to stop them before they destroyed the planet... the ships were a vertical scrolling shooters with all manner of turrets missiles, energy plants, HQ's, engines etc. Would make a great flash game.

ha ha ha, people have beaten the game on the first day? Impossible, your ship cannot move fast enough to avoid the homing lasers. Cheating is so rampant with flash games, It makes me wonder why developers bother with scoreboards anyway

After beating the game, I can say this - I regret how many levels of speed upgrade I bought. It actually screwed me up. Too bad you can't sell them back.

The last boss is the red star looking thing, and it fires 2 lasers, which it is after the pink mini ship. I wasn't sure what the boss would be, and none of the top comments said so. + so it can help at least one person.

I personally thought the final boss was lame. The looks for the boss that is a broken spaceship with electricity and wires all around would have looked better IMO.
