A nice little game though the controls are tiring - basically you have to hold left mouse button the enitre time while using the mouse - amazingly tiring! The bosses take most of the time to complete a level and the little guys seemed to be there just to maybe soften you up a bit or give you light entertainment before going through yet another almost endless boss. The graphics, SFX and smoothness are all top notch, shame it is such a boring game overall - sorry to say but it's true. The shots merging into the background (particularly with boss weapons is rather cheap too. Has the assets for a good game and a nice engine... now it just needs some enticing gameplay...

nice graphics, but no upgrades, and no bonuses (new weapons, shields, bombs/special weapons, etc.) Had potential. 2/5

um.. just got a game crash.. It says 'Fatal Error: Null' at the top right, with a red box behind it. It was a great game up until then. I hope you can stop this from happening, as I was really enjoying it!

I can see you put effort into this. The graphics run smoothly, you actually have the lasers coming out of hardpoints on the ships (though sometimes they act wonky and hang around for too long), and there weren't any bugs I could see. A few things though...
*No powerups - I'm not one of those upgrade hounds who feels every game needs upgrades but they are integral to the space shooter genre. You send me a wave of enemies and if I survive I get a nifty new gun to blow up the next bigger, tougher wave. *Glowing planet backgrounds - Looks pretty but are a bad idea. On more than one occasion enemy bullets disappeared into the glow. This resulted in a couple of cheap shots. *Game restarts - This is what knocked you down from a 3 (solid effort) to a 2. I already played through the entire game without dying. I won. Tell me I won and give me the ending. Don't automatically restart me at checkpoint one to replay the game I just beat.
Thanks for taking the time to write out your thoughts!
You have a very strong point about the ending(or rather the absence of one) -- I'm going to see what I can do to make it more satisfying :).

Just discovered an issue with sound that sometimes happens -- if you're sometimes getting white noise during sound effects, you can mute the sound(M key) as a temporary fix until I can publish an update.
