I smiled at lvl 25 when the boss straigth up killed me because i wasn't expecting him to follow me on vertical axis XD very good patern here, also with the last form. good job :)
Haha! Glad you liked it. The idea of programming him was exactly that, the player lures the boss up, and then tries to go quickly under the boss to shoot him, but he is a little smarter haha. The last method was what he calls a shell game haha. Thanks for playing!

I am proud of the game. The best game of the month and it is not a puzzle or idle game. It is definetely 5/5. But there is a small issue. When I achieved patience 5 I didn't get the 25000 money and exp. when i killed the last boss the star didn't appeared. However I got the achievement and I did every single one. I don't understand the level system. There's no passive bonuses in every 10 levels like +5% coin and level bonus. Even though I had a lot of fun with that! Thank you and your friends for bringing this awesome game to Kongregate!
Hello! Congratulations on completing all the achievements! I think Kongregate could create Badges, right? Haha I fixed this bug, I had it fixed for one person but I put the code one line above creating the star so it overlaps, sorry. Thanks for voting!

Always like those old top down or sidescrolling shooters where you could upgrade your ship/weapon systems. This runs pretty fluid too. Def made me hungry for more :D Thanks for sharing!

nice little shooter. burned 30 minutes on this. curious to see how infinite mode is implemented and what new it brings to the table.
Thanks for playing. Honestly, I'm a little afraid to upset players in this mode. I really need everyone's opinion to understand what you expect in this infinite way. I don't know if I do it on the same current level system, or if I do it like arcade games like AeroFighters...

Hey dude !! It is a really good game you have here !! I am really enjoying. But i notice something, he can't go on the diagonal (S + D) when firing. It's just a simple thing to do, but it's really important fix this in your game. Anyway, i really enjoyed playing the game! The art is so cool, you made it?
The game have potential, i know how hard can be to make a game, so good luck dude! don't give up! (sorry if you do not understand something)
Hello, first thanks for the compliment. I understand little and try to understand what I know in English, but some things I have to use google translator haha. About the art you can see in the credits on the home screen, it was made by pixelboy, and I made some adaptations like hud etc. About the S + D problem I tested here and I had no problem shooting using the space key. Is your keyboard mechanical or something? I had feedback from other players on the arrow keys + space key that didn't shoot. Now using the letters... It's strange.

The "survive for X minutes" levels are really boring. 2 minutes already feels like an eternity, let alone 5. Maybe it would be better if they are all 1 or 2 minutes long but difficulty that ramps up.

Nice little game. Suggestion: When having to restart levels, particularly when you're going for certain achievements like the patience ones, it would be really nice to shorten the amount of reloading time before we get back into the action. Having to die and then sit through about 5 seconds worth of unskippable screens was kinda annoying. Maybe an option upon death to replay the level?

It took me until the 10th stage before I realized you can go up and down. The ship going up and down in the build screen would make it much more clear. Otherwise, a good little game.

Gave up on the patience 5 achivement. you have less than two seconds to damage the boss before bullet hell is utterly unleashed on you, to tedious.

my screen went black while fighting the space fish. Music still going and cross hairs cursor still moves on screen otherwise looks like a crashing bug.

This game is well put together for what it is. What bothers me is that the difficulty level depends mostly on the feast or famine of getting P powerups. When I get 6-8 in the span of 12 seconds it's ridiculously easy, but the 45 seconds before that when I got none was nearly impossible.
I understand. This powerup really lacked a better design. I already cut the time based on how much you have, but still after you get them together, you become a God of destruction. Haha! Thanks for playing.

Leveling up a character usually has two main purposes in game design. First, to give the user a sense of accomplishment. You leveled up! Hurrah :P The second is to make difficulty a dynamic, player-based trait through the leveling system. This is fancy talk to describe the fact that the game gets easier when you level up, and if you're having trouble beating a stage, leveling up makes it progressively easier. However, in this game, the levels are a constraint to beating certain levels, which severely limits the variability in how quickly you can stroll through the levels. The same is true for certain relatively "stat check"-based stages such as getting 500 coins on stage 5. This stage can only be cleared by repeating stages several times, regardless of player skill.
See if you can incorporate more ways of adjusted difficulty for the player and a greater range in outcome based on competence (skill). 4/5!

Finished it, realy not bad, a bit long on some mission, the last boss is a bit confusing but cool, the idea is here ! I liked it, a second opus with some idea around the leveling etc would be cool i think.
For sure, with all these comments I will have to make a second game. I really want it, because I had a lot of ideas and a lot of improvement tips. :) Thanks for playing.

The opening screen makes it seem like hovering the mouse over the ship will give you mouse control of the ship but disappointingly it doesn't. This would be a nice choice if possible.

I know this has been said before, but the leveling system is pointless. The only reason it's there is to create an artificial barrier to advancement.
If it gave some sort of effect, however minor, it would make far more sense.
Some things I was thinking of, that would make it beneficial, is to have your level either give you more of a chance of bonuses, or to have the bonuses last longer based on your level. Outside of that, the x2 Exp bonus is a slap in the face compared to the x2 coins.
Either way, great game, but that is a singular flaw that I simply cannot let go.
This is a feature that I had in the first version, I changed some things and removed this option, but people did not like it and so I put it again! Thank the other players haha Thanks for playing!

Maybe reduce boss/level rewards after beating them? idk I'm not replaying levels but some comments are saying it's easy if you farm

Difficulty is sporadic. First 4 levels are challenging but then you can grind level 5 for 3 minutes and buy almost all the upgrades. Then the rest of the game is kind of boring "surviving" for 5 minutes.
Thanks for playing. I made a lot of changes to the game, so I believe it is easier to complete all the achievements, which may be the main objective for some. :)

@LLGD Like cdamm, there is like an aurora that appears after a while and hits me in level 21. That's not a regular game mechanic?
Guys, I believe that this dawn that you are talking about, is when you get the "gold x2" powerup, the correct thing to get this powerup is to show how far your reach to get the coins. There are several particles that occur within that aurora as if they were minuscule explosions. For this, your browser's WebGL must be enabled. Please keep me informed about this, and if possible send me a screenshot of the game at the time it happens. Thanks.

the rocks move weirdly when shot some move towards you when you shoot them from the front also you move slow and mouse movement would be nice

Please give invincibility frames when touching the space fish! Patience is so much harder to do when I die instantly after it teleports on top of me. Been dying constantly on its last phase and it's really frustrating

The bomb and astronaut powerups look too similar and it's hard to tell them apart when you're in the middle of shooting hundreds of meteors. I suggest changing their color to tell them apart!

so im having fun with this, but cant figure out why the world itself is flashing and killing my ship around level 21. i cant beat it if the literal level is killing me at what seems like random intervals.
Glad you liked it :). I don't know what could be happening at level 21 ... I didn't quite understand how the world is flashing. This is the first report I get about it, could you send me a link with the screen image? Thanks.

After completing level 25, I would like the credits to only play after the first completion, not every time. Otherwise a very nice game!

Just a minor grammatical error: (I'm one to talk.) Fire rate description should be not bullets per second, but instead volleys per second. Anything is fine though. Ciao.

This is not bad. I understand what you were going for but the leveling system slows it down. If it doesn't affect gameplay, make it visually change the ship. It's also far too easy as later enemies do not damage much and the powerups destroy all non boss levels. Lack of enemy fire from ships is also a problem.
Do you say the weapon update? I understand the question, even if it does more damage you still don't like it. I'll let everyone shoot two shots at a time.

First 5 levels were fun, the rest is just a slog. Other than the bosses, it boils down to survive till the third P power up, after that you're invincible. For the bosses... they are so weak that even without replaying any level even once I killed them before I even figured out how to dodge. You can just facetank most of the shots and still win without taking much damage, as long as you don't run into the body of the bosses themselves.
I will increase the damage done by them. But I cannot increase much, otherwise it is impossible to defeat them to complete the conquests. Thanks for playing.

(2/2)
About the luck, the more damage powerups you have, the longer the timer, which leads to you being constantly in maximum power mode if you get 3 powerups in a row, on the other side, you struggle if the powerups are stretched out in time and time out before you can pick another one. I think the timing should be reversed, long time out on first powerup, less with every other level.
The enemies that shoot back is a nice upgrade, but still too easy, even with no life upgrades. In the next game I suggest not trying to please everyone with difficulty, but simply adding different levels of difficulty.
I volunteer to playtest the hard one:D
Hello! First thanks for the comment. Really the idea of leaving a menu of selections of difficulty pleases everyone. As this is the first game I play in this style and open to the public, (not counting the one I have here), I am collecting information from all the players, and it all serves as an experience for me and my career. Now about the weapon levels, it's up to you to choose the best one to use at the appropriate level, weapons can have advantages in attack, as disadvantages in quantity, so it depends on your gameplay :) About the weapon's powerup time, it really is a this idea of reversing the times is good. I'll do it. Thanks for playing.

There is a bit of a bottleneck on a level 4 now, you need to destroy ~70% of asteroids and collect all the coins from them to pass. Takes around 5 tries to level up enough DPS and magnetism to do so. Or some luck with powerups.
Level 7,9 and 10 weapon upgrade is not very good since you get one bullet instead of two, which is bad for the asteroids that break into small pieces.
Level 22 is skipped because you gain too much xp in levels before that.
Level 24 and 4 are the only ones which took more than 1 try. And level 24 only because of bad powerup luck. (1/2)
