Great, simple and challenging game. The bonus level is basically you fighting against the previous 10 bosses so you can definitely beat it if you memorize their attack pattern and upgrade your ship. By the way, 5/5 :)

I'm too used to other bullet-hell games where the hitbox is just one pixel, instead of needing the entire ship to dodge..

the game was addictive and simple, but once the blasters were upgraded it was really tough to tell where my ship was. if you make another maybe make the lasers a lighter color than the ship. :)

no better feeling on this game than watching a sea of red coming towards you. And you managing to dodge every bullet.

Too bad that your shooting line is so small. I upgraded my front lasers hoping to cover the screen in dakka, but it only made my kill zone slightly thicker.

It would be nice if you could raise the shield right after getting hit. So many times I get hit multiple times while I fruitlessly try to raise the shield.

Comparing this to similar top down games I have to say good job! I enjoyed the old school arcade throw back aspect. Maybe you could have a feature that lets you choose color schemes of your ships/bullets as well as darker/lighter hues.

This game reminds me a lot of Frantic, only simpler and this one has a more classic-type of feel to it. Some people say this is a total rip-off--and I can see why--but I still really like it.

It's annoying when you're forced to go to the edge of the screen by bosses, since your cursor will go off and just mess everything up. It happens even more because of how you did the speed thing.

just tried the boss level. bosses have more HP, and are slightly faster. i only got to 6th boss. upgrade EVERYTHING by beating lvl 10 repeatedly and make sure to utilise the defensive wave when you cant get out of the attacks of bosses.

This has probably been mentioned somewhere but if you want to save yourself from a lot of heartache for lvl 11 get your defensive wave abilities up pretty high especially the reload time after you use ability all you have to do is manage to not get hit for less than 5 seconds then use ability again.

Something that would bring this game from good to great is if you made the game window wider, and have the game still register your mouse movements while letting you move to the edges of the screen. I got killed countless times by accidentally moving my mouse just barely off the screen and my ship stopped moving entirely

I love it! Haha In a way this game made my day! Level two boss the way it shoots looks like spaggetios. Amazing! You should start working on pixelvader Sequel (second one). Then again, You haven't been on it p to a few months. Sheesh. Please make a new one!

By the time you've upgraded your weapons most of the way to the max, the game has become "Dodge the red stuff while trying not to look at the screen because it'll give you an epileptic fit."

Came back to this game after a long time. Lessee...little repetitive, but enough variety so the levls don't get unbearably tedious. Powerups a bit of a grind but well worth the effort to obtain. Bullet patterns get challenging, but not at a danmaku level, and the defensive wave is a great boon. Gets nervous at times but never tear-your-hair-out frustrating. Weapons could use a bit more variety. Can get seven achievements, wherease 6-10 untouched and bonus untouched are forever barred to me. Yeah, 4/5 seems right.

Tip: When you spawn after starting a lvl, stay in the same spot and don't move. You will evade most every bullet. But, sometimes you need to move a bit to dodge some things.
