So, this is Jets n' Guns, only shittier....
'cause I can't seem to hit anything unless I'm in its direct line of fire, which tends to kill me faster than I can get to a checkpoint.
Thank god for the lack of a Lives system.

Also to all the players claiming theres a lack of AI. *cough* OFCOURSE THERE IS FFS! Not only is there a barrage of bullets but you also want the enemy to strategise? good one... Also if you ever played any old style scrollers for nes or sega you would know the drill, good game.

Brilliant scrolling shoot em up! Needs more guns and mods! :D how about maybe some kinda levelling/xp system involved? related to the ship ofc.

Also, for those who are having trouble, here are the best pilot/weapon combos for ya, all done up and discovered.
Balanced speed/armour: Tri-shot bullets
Speed:Lightning gun
Armour:Chainsaw

Mmmmkay. All you noobs who say that the firing is too intense, your ship doesn't go fast enough or your sheilds r weak, problem 1 solution: Get a fricking LIGHTNING GUN! Problem 2 solution: The 2nd player is FAST AS CRAP, problem 3 solution: the 2rd player is a slow lumbering heavy-armour tank!

Complete waste of data on the internet.
AI, there is none.
Difficulty, there is none.
Controls, laughable.
Soundtrack, incredibly annoying.

this game would be nice....EXCEPT THERE ISN'T AI!!!!! Enemies firing forever in a straight line doesn't seem like a very good strategy to me.

Sorry didn't like it, controls are annoying, gameplay quite repetitive and just not exciting. I think bubbletanks 2 is alot better and more inventive

ALL of you noobs who say the game is too hard because you cant hit without getting hit... try pressing "S". you notice a flicker for about a second. that flicker absorbs shots and powers your emp. use it to take the hits, kill the ship thats shooting you, and repeat until you find a weapon with spread or learn how to use the sheild well enough to not need spread. i reccommend the sawblade.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the shields that are on for a split second rules and the emp charge to boot, that's quite cool. the giant saw is by far the best weapon, next to the plasma shotgun. The worst feature is the inability to quit mid game. other than that great job. 5/5

The controls are pretty crazy. The ship seems to slide all over the place.
Also, I wish I could rate the creator 1/5 for describing his/her game as "Whatever."
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The frequency of the shots are too hard to get in and shoot between. There is next to no way to get in and hit the enemies and not get hit yourself. 1/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
not a bad game. i have to agree that some weapons are totally useless, like that giant rotating saw. the rocket launcher is pretty good in my opinion, and all in all it's a pretty alright game. i just would like to see something done about weapon selection. looks good enough and is very playable. 4/5

Well made game and fun to play. Nice weapon advancement and in particular, using shields to charge the EMP is a nice feature.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
no interesting features, virtually impossible to deal damage without taing just as much with most weapons. . . bad design
Also, the learning curve is far steeper than makes any sense at all. It took me 4 or 5 tries to complete the first level. Unacceptable.

been playing for about 3 hours now lovely game, great it doesnt have lives etc. Its getting rather hard even with lvl5 guns ( lvl 4a easy mode) .One major complaint though, the weapon switching, I dont know how many times it happened that I accedently picked up a crappy weapon and had to sit it out for 10 mins or more just to get my best weapons back.

Floaty controls and lame enemies. What shooter has ever started with stationary guys that shoot too often for you to squeeze between? Copy Aegis Wing on 360 for a simple shooter that is fun instead of lame. Oh, and then you lose an extra star for telling people not to give you bad ratings in your comments. Free speech vs insecure hack.

It feels like a bad ripoff of Einhänder or something. Don't hear me wrong, this isn't that bad of a game. However, I do believe the lightning gun to be severely overpowered compared to most of the other weapons. (which still makes a L5 lightning gun just enough for most enemies in the 2nd stage) The process of character selection is silly. I usually play with high speed based craft, but I was wrong with this game. It is far better to just pick green and fly through everything with a lightning gun and just grab health on the way. I'm done rambling now, and in conclusion:
I know I dogged on this game a big, but it was decently made. The graphics are great, the game itself isn't half bad, and while it seems to be based on a much higher difficulty curve, I actually enjoy that. 3.5/5... which makes that 4/5 rounded up because I'm in a good mood. Maybe I'll play some more later and change my rating... maybe...

My main complaint is the weapon pickup and switching. You have no idea early on whether you're about to pick up a crappy weapon and lose a great one. I think the easiest change would be to allow you to hold more than 2 weapons.

Good game. Lots of comments i see form people who didn't play so far into it. the ships at the start only short forwards but soon you start getting enemys who will shoot you no matter where you are. you have to earn weapon upgrade for anything other then damage by beating the letter missions 1a and such. those levels are hard in the fact that there is no check points in them.

Pretty bad game design here...since the enemies only ever shoot straight-ahead, there's a real "lane-shift" mentality here. It's in the player's best interests to actually avoid conflict, to either stay put in one lane and destroy everything in that one lane, since moving up or down is likely to result in at least some damage. Surely, a variety of enemy firing patterns would challenge the player to use some more tactical maneuvering.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The worst shooter ever. The enemies don't move and they shoot directly forward. Can't get much more boring than that.

Wow, so you didn't know blue shift was a scientific term?
JDCAce, you have also just stated something, you didn't even make a comment about it?
=s
Oh well, liking this game. I will second any complaints about the weapons though...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Terrible. Our weapon level shouldn't change if we acquire a new weapon, or at least give us the option not to get the new weapon if we accidentally acquire one.
Also, from Wikipedia: "Blue shift is the shortening of a transmitted signal's wavelength, and/or an increase in its frequency. The name comes from the fact that the shorter-wavelength end of the optical spectrum is the blue (or violet) end, hence, when visible light is compacted in wavelength, it is 'shifted towards the blue,' or 'blue-shifted.'"

Also, the upgrade variety should be something more than a damage increase.... Like maybe firing spreads instead of just getting more powerful.

5/5 reminds me of the Gladius games, if anyone here is old enough to remember those. Nightguard, try lowering the game quality in the pause menu, that will stop the lag a bit.

You should really make it clear that you can only carry two weapons, and at least let you choose what you switch out. For example, I switched out loopy rockets (not bad) for lasers (pretty nice) for a machinegun (long startup time and weaker than the lasers).
Plus the levels are too long.

This game would be a lot better if the faster ships didn't have the 'drift' they're plagued with now. It makes it very hard to actually control where they're going.
