Space Hammer 2

good game.it gets better and better!
if you make a Space Hammer 3 you should custom you ship from the outside or maybe put more upgrades like lightning bolt
but overall the games good
Keep it up!

Very nice. I would have liked a more complex upgrade system, with rockets or other things. But overall very nice.

*facepalm*I didn't realize I could go up/down as well as 'till the bossfight... *double facepalm* I could've killed the enemies that had gotten past me... *deskface* I could have gotten them upgrade points as well!

To start, props on your first game.
I like:
The scrolling, it made the game seem more open
The fast pace, took me a second to figure things out, but it never let up
The fact that it got to the point that I died, even on Normal

There's some polishing that could always be done, but as far as fitting into the category of scrolling space shooters, this was pretty alright. I don't know if this incarnation is a possible building block for a -great- game, but it's a good foot in the door for a new creator. I salute an enabler of my procrastination and thank you for your time.

Here's my advice:

Its too easy. People don't like winning as much if there's no chance of losing, making bullets hurt more (but making them easier to dodge to keep it balanced) and applying a maximum health limit would make it easier to die, then if you made a continue system where very little (or nothing) was lost upon death, the player could have the thrill of finally beating a hard part, without having the feeling of spending 30 minutes getting upgrades just to lose them all, it's a win win.

TL;DR: Make it harder with a continue system and you'll have a great game.
