Under rating threshold (show) The secret ending is a bit of a misfeature. "They came in peace; we shot to kill" - unoriginal, but it's a story. "They came in peace; we didn't fire; they enthusiastically kamikazed into us and started shooting" - you what?

Under rating threshold (show) Ship: we are friendly Commander: why are you deploying defense drones then? Ship: Don't worry, they are friendly drones. Commander: friendly my ass! they are shooting me! So don't worry, all you did was selfdefense :D

Under rating threshold (show) Killing a boss except the first time seems useless as it gives no cash, should be an easy thing to fix.

Under rating threshold (show) Let all game developers know: we hate running around collecting coins. We like to play, not to work as a waste collector. Thanks

Under rating threshold (show) Awesome game!! Can lead into sequel where you help humanity reclaim Earth. Or prequel where you are the human battleship fighting to protect Earth before you have no choice but to leave. Or BOTH!!

Under rating threshold (show) ==Powerups== Energy shield: yellow outside, green inside. Gives temporary invulnerability. Time distortion: all purple. Temporarily slows time for enemies and their bullets, normal time for you and your shots. Bullet nullification: Blue. Stops all enemy shots which vanish shortly after. !!WARNING!! SHOTS CAN STILL DEAL DAMAGE !!WARNING!! Shrapnel burst: Red band around the outside, yellow inside. A burst of many small shots dealing moderate damage...COMPLETELY USELESS during chaos mode btw, and easily mistaken for energy shield too =w= Please change the damage so it scales with time at least in chaos mode.

Under rating threshold (show) Spoilers, yo. Man, all throughout the game I was wondering about how they knew the fleet was hostile when they hadn't decoded the messages and the first wave of enemies had no weapons. I didn't think you would actually go through with that, though. That is a plot twist well done.

Under rating threshold (show) Even though I like the scrolling bullet hell shooters more, this one's really good! It looks kinda simple in the first place but gets really hard later. There should be some Kong-Achievements for this!

Under rating threshold (show) It reminds me one episode of "The Outer Limits" series, where the Earth decided to launch nuclear missiles towards alien fleet, and then they decrypted message "we come in peace".

Under rating threshold (show) The fact that the enemies were friendly wasn't much of a surprise, but the fact that they were human and we were not was a nice bonus :) I'm trying to finish the Story++ mode right now, could use some more powerful upgrades... I'd also like to be able to upgrade the wormhole cannon once it is enabled in the secret mode. Overall good game, and great for a 48hour challenge :)

Under rating threshold (show) Seems quite nice, the difficulty is rather steep from the get-go, and I don't always like starting with all the tools at hand, sides you could have added more, like ability to teleport in the combat field, a mod that might blast down incoming shots, and other ideas could be used too, it does have potential, but then again, you seemingly only wanted to spend 48 hours on it ^_^.
