Description
Launching missiles, blowing stuff up, and flying in circles, all combined into a single game! Blast your way through 12 frantic levels filled with a wide variety of enemies, weapons, and upgrades.
Hello Kongregate! I hope you like Nyos better than my previous games :)
If you hate Nyos, (I hope you don't) feel free to tell me why you think it is terrible in the comments below. Criticism helps me improve the game.
If you like Nyos, you can comment about that too.
How to Play
Use the WASD or arrow keys to move. Press and hold the mouse button to lock-on to targets. Release the mouse button to fire missiles.
If it seems to be running slowly, try turning off bloom in the options.

Sorry for spamming so much, but I wanted to give a few tips. Red missiles are best for killing structures, the orange ones are inneffective. Upgrade "Missles" as soon as you can. Sticky missiles are powerful and do good with kickback for killing structures. Early on, you can use blue missiles with orange ones to make sure they hit. Use kickback's shockwave to get away. Keep moving.
That is pretty much spot on.

Nice and fun game. Would be cool if there was some sort of secret unlock or just anything for beating the game. Cool songs maybe isn't your thing, but you can still make something awesome, but the whole game is cool and fast paced. It doesn't have to be 'good' for the player, just amusing and most importantly COOL. Let the player play as last boss, or smaller version of it, or something like that! That would be cool.
That idea about the boss sounds so awesome that I may just have to add it in! EDIT: Play as boss added!

Loved it... grats. Coins should be slightly faster than ship, so it actually reaches you while you run from shots. At start i kept running from coins thinking it was enemy shots :)
Improved coin movement in a new version (1.091).

Excellent game. Needs a bit of balancing with the learning curve maybe but very playable and a lot of fun :)

I will give 5/5 to help out, since i think this game has some real potential, if the Dev is given a chance.
