By far one of the best games on the site I've played. The gameplay is nice, and I'll admit I've always been a sucker for shooters of this time, whether top-down or side scrollers. The fact that it's got solid shooter mechanics and a pretty good RPG leveling/upgrade system were real pluses. However, it's the story, characters, and backgrounds that make it great. It's rare to see this much effort go into making a flash game's story, and it really shows. I really connected with several of the characters, and you did a great job of developing several of them throughout the game. Without spoiling anything, several moments were honestly quite moving, something rare in a flash game. The soundtrack was also a real plus, though nothing approached the sheer epicness of the "final battle" music. One of the few I'm still playing after I got all the badges, and will probably still be playing for quite a while. I can't stop. T_T All in all, an easy 5/5. Oh, and Deadeye FTW.

As games go these days, things like strong characters and a crackling good plot are very rare. This one has it all...polished graphics unexpected for an online game (let alone a flash!) of it's kind, a great soundtrack that leaves you, for once, wanting to leave your speakers on as you play a game, gameplay itself that is fun and exciting yet not mindless, characters that you can relate to, witty and deep and purely loaded dialogue, a plot that grabs you and doesn't let go; hell, it even has philosophy. I've seen bits and pieces of my own life story in your game, and I've had more than one "aha!" moment as I've read through the story line. It even has a save feature...there is truly nothing to dislike about this game. It's been well thought out and made even better. From all us fans, kudos on the massive success and keep up the great work. Thank you for creating something more than just a game. Thumbs up so they can see this and be encouraged to keep doin what they doin

@ themightycaribou, Sure. L2F2 came out today but I would hardly call it competition. Most of it's gags run out early on and it's more of last game...a really grindy launcher game that owes most of it's success to using a crazy penguin (incapable of believing penguins are flightless birds) as the protagonist.

@lhd100 It determines the course of the story. Not the main plot, mind you, but the subplots, like the romantic bits.

PLEASE make another game such as this i enjoyed every minute of this. your characters are deep and have amazing backgrounds to them, each character could in theory have their own game made to essentially play out the history of each character this game is amazing!

Who else gave their wish to Dedai their one wish?
Most importantly, who voted Dedai's wish for the cannon ending for the sequel?

In RPG Shooter: Starwish 2 (or whatever it will be called) when you are in a cafe and talking to somebody you should choose your own dialog. Then you wouldnt have to choose what ending you want ... + so creator can see

Maybe it's just me... but I can't seem to find many instructions or descriptions for stats. I don't know where to allocate my lvl points. Maybe make some roll over tips?

love the game one of the 3 i have favorited, however save seems to be having issues. even after hitting save and avoiding the 5 listed problems i lose some data at certain points. just a heads up, but the game is amazing and i would go so far as to say if i had to, i would buy it.

wow an absolutely amazing story. i was playing this more for that than the gameplay, which was fun too, but i loved the story so much more. really hope to see a sequel!

(Sorry for the double post, but I couldn't put everything I needed to say in one comment. >.>)
Story aside, I have to say that I phased through walls like no man's business with max Engine mods in the last Ice level, so maybe the walls should be thicker in "puzzle" zones like that. Also recommend a way of perhaps "resetting" your bonus stat points so you can redo your character if you feel you messed up. And less randomness on the Weapon Upgrade system, or perhaps it's the fact it's random that's fun? Not sure anymore lol. I will say that the levels themselves were the only put off. The push to play the same bosses over and over, along with facing the exact same waves of enemies back to back seemed a little lazy, ALTHOUGH I'll admit two things. One, I thought it was hilarious that it was mentioned WHY the last zone had the same enemies. XD Two, the immersive story had to be an overload.
Amazing Job overall. Well done!

Dear lord I loved the story (Played normal mode). I couldn't drag myself away, I played from 8 PM to 1 AM just to see what happened next. You always left information out, but giving JUST enough to keep the reader/player interested. I won't spoil things, but I have to say that I need to replay it so I can get this "secret" ending, cause to be honest, I didn't really like the entire ending on normal mode D: So wrong... Then again, stories like this usually don't end in a completely happy ending, and that's what makes them amazing.

I love this game! The plot is brilliant, the gameplay is simple yet addicting, and it definitely left my wanting more. 5/5 for sure!

I used to think flash games couldn't have a good history, or be "deep" at all. Thanks for proving me wrong. You truly have a talent, that story was amazingly rich, and the characters... I specially liked how you mixed the various genres, and I would really buy this if it was a full-scale game. Thanks for the wonderful experience, I adored every single bit of it! You should be working at BioWare or something like that, my friend!

i would like to see what the stats increase since I'm scared to put into agility since i think it will just make my ship go faster.

Very awesome game. It would be nicer if there was a 'back' button for dialogue. Once in a while I'd accidentally click through some dialogue, and since it's a major part of this game, I was sad I couldn't read it again :( Also, it made me a bit sad that the bosses and enemies started recycling after a while. Even if they were different colors or had slightly different shooting patterns it would keep it fresh. Keep up the great work!
