Pretty good game, though I agree after leaving the upgrade screen there should be a "3-2-1" countdown so you don't get end up flying right into something as soon as you exit. Also I noticed if your ship is on top of one of the upgrade purchase buttons, clicking the ship to return to the game also purchases the upgrade if you can afford it. You might want to fix that since it sometimes causes me to waste points on powerups I don't want. (I know you can also hit space to leave the shop, but I usually forget since it only says "click the ship to unpause" on the shop screen. )

akh, just played the fixed version. OMG now THAT is hardcore. some more weapontypes (i like scattering projectile guns and seeking missiles, robotech style) and shooting obstacles out of the way like the mines and the - are those tears? - would be nice.

I think you forgot to disable the debug mode, it's still possible to open the Flixel console ingame. Might've been intentional since there's not much you can do with it anyway but I thought I'd just point this out.
The FlxConsole also works in release mode, and I don't think that's a problem. The ppl knowing about the shortcut can actually check the framerate that way, so I'll leave it as it is. Thx for pointing it out, though.

Game doesnt load. All i keep seeing are white dots falling from the top of the screen and a newground logo. Is there something wrong with my computer?

and how the **** can you get any time lower then like 50 at most, on my first try i got 161 seconds so unless they started out with all the upgrades and was invincable i have no idea how the **** everyone got that low of time

Nice having more shmups in Kong, but it's as a Touhou player this is a bit easy...it'd be nice to have a focus (slow) button to do more precision bullet avoiding.

@ GAMA11 this is great for a first game but here are some times when you increase damage make it where the lazers change to different kinds of lazers its not nessisary but it would be a nice touch also if you make another game like this on the second wave i found a specific spot where i didnt have to move at all and i wasnt getting hit a and the where where you destroy armor i dont know it seemed to me that i could hardly notice when the things were coming i mean the third part was difficult (which is good for this type of game) but when i could hardly see the things i couldnt tell when the lazers where gonna be fired until they were already fired and if im next to them then im screw but again for a first game this is awesome good job on using this boss he is epic

Great old school game, I really like bullethell games and thus liked this one as well! The phases, however, were a tad too long sometimes, e.g. the second stage when you had to dodge the spikes. Once you got the right rhythm, it's not difficult anymore but just tedious. I'd suggest having shorter yet more different forms but hey, I still had a lot of fun playing it. 4/5!

Yargh, the game is borked on my laptop. Am I missing a plugin Firefox hasn't informed me about? I'll check if I can play the game on my desktop.

Unbalanced difficulty much? The first form of the boss is much harder to beat than the second and third ones (you don't even need to move to beat the second one, just park yourself in one of the gaps between the mines and keep on firing). The final form is difficult only due to the random nature of it's shots.

My thoughts as I started this game:
Oh look, another shooter. Well, this one at least is just a boss.
Wait a minute, the grinning coBossus?
Might as well start and see if it is any good...
OMFG ITS THIS MUSIC!
It was only uphill from there.

Guess what? I cheated with Cheat Engine, changed the texture of my bullets to a chandelier and defeat him in one shot per form. Oldschool meme is oldschool.

I was slightly dissapointed about how quickly the game ended, but that was before I clicked hard mode. Amazing game! I would have liked easier-to-see bullets though, because on the first level I didn't even know I was getting hit. As for the rest of Kongregate, support Gama11 so we can get more games like this, possibly even a sequel!
