Good game though, also would love the ability to just zoom in and have a bigger game window, I hate small game windows >.<

I think the biggest annoyance in this game is the game window, would love to have it be slightly taller, and have the red arrows (warning of enemies) be 20% bigger, and come 0.25 second earlier, tiny adjustments I know, but I usually die to enemies spawning at the top or bottom of the screen, because the warning is difficult to notice, and the game area is so small when it comes to height, meaby have a difficulty slider which decides how long/big the warning arrows are?

exactly what kind of alien commander activates their shields for ship-to-ship impacts which don't hurt them, but totally ignores weapon fire?

I actually like how you have to start over when you die. It makes mastering game mechanics the deciding factor of how well will you do. For instance, last time i died, i got stuck because there were many enemies around me, and my blast wave was still recharging. Knowing that, i will try to use it less and save it for these kinds of moments.
5/5 btw, even though the window could be a little bigger

i wish there was a system that you could save your progress instead of starting all over again if you do that all put this a 5/5 but for now a 4/5

Ok, let's see, narrow play area - check. No save feature - check. Limited enemy skins, (mostly just palette swaps) with no damage indicator - check. No mercy invulnerability when hit, so a bounce-around autodeath is simply a matter of luck, severe lack of contrast between your shots and the background (with to reticle to aim), and a camera screw with clouds and explosions and so forth. All in all, a pretty good game from the mid 1980's.

Once you start getting hit multiuple times thats really it, because more suddenly appear, then you get pushed into another one which instanly kills you. Also theres not more room to manover or evade enemies. But great game enjoyed it loads 5/5 for me, love it. Good luck in continuing to improve this (hopefuly). Thanks for a great different game. :D

It would be nice if the enemies exploded when u hit them instead of bouncing back and hitting you dozens of times so it could quickly kill u.

please remove or reduce the clouds that block vision - when there are many enemies on the screen it's hard enough to tell what's going on as-is!

Please DONT add savepoints, seriously, the game will just get easy and it will be boring, like almost every game around =(

Having gotten quite far now, my advice: 1) Upgrade the missile launcher to 5/5 as early as possible - it fires at enemies off screen and once you hit 4/5 the upgrade points just start flowing in. My mistake - I spent a lot of points upgrading armor when the blast wave really becomes essential to getting enough space to launch your missiles. The main gun, despite being called the 'most important weapon' really is only good for pinpointing ships behind you that aren't easily targeted by the missiles.
So for part 2 of this game - maybe combine it with the gameplay style of highway jumper so that if your ship is about to blow you can try to teleport to another ship - or maybe even use that as your upgrade path mechanism, where each ship has a different weapon/armor/special and once that ship's shields are down you can teleport into it with a bullet time slowdown. Just throwing it out there.

don't need to steer for much of the early part of the game. Focus on aiming towards the red triangles. Mid game (so say, when you need a weapon level of 5-6 and missles of 3 or so) you need to save up and ramp up repairs, but even then you don't have to move much. Which is good because it is often easier to find the enemies that your own ship - needs some sort of blue arrows on the edges to make that part more reasonable - a few bounces lost behind a big cloud in the corner and you are done.

Great game but one horrible flaw the enimies can come from up and down on the screen this can cause them to over flow the screen in seconds and the cover it completely from left to right killing you.

Ok, let me get this straight, the lone survivor of the human race is fighting off a seemingly endless armada of alien robots in a tiny little ship that somehow has unlimited ammunition/energy for its main gun, an endless supply of extremely powerful missiles, can build on itself to make itself even more powerful, and can repair itself to full functionality in approximately 3 seconds....... SIGN ME UP!!!

This does NOT need a checkpoint system. It is a survival game, much like Left 4 Dead is. If you can finish the game, good. But otherwise you need to survive. If you're going to play it like that, you'll enjoy it rather more.
I do agree that the game are could be a little bigger. But the main issue I have with this game is the lack of music. Just replace that elevator music with something more dramatic. You can find great soundtracks for free from Incompetech.
Otherwise great game.

Among many other fixes, this game needs a grace period after getting hit once before you can take more damage. Sometimes a single tiny enemy might corner me & smash me instantly.

great game... just needs more noticeable red arrows, maybe a square screen ( to see enemies coming from the top or bottom easier) and some sort of level/checkpoint system

this game is a wonderful time waster! the repair makes the game unique and so does the upgrade station. the graphics are awesome and the physics are amazing! another good thing is that when you shoot an enemy, it doesn't keep coming as if it dint get hit. instead it bounces back a little. overall, a really fun game!
PS; on the main screen, you can click and drag to twirl the planet. :D
