Man I stink, or this is a bit too hard. Great graphics and sound though, and nice polish.

Liked the graphical style. I'm a space-shooter kind of guy, so I liked it. Good. Not very innovative but well, it's a space shooter. Nice!
Dodging bullets interested me and the graphics fascinated me! If you continue to develop this, have you considered having the aliens that descend and shoot turn toward the center after they shoot, so I can more easily shoot them without being in their bullet's trajectory?
Really nice shmup. The graphics were excellent!
Bit short though.
This game highly reminds me of Touhou Project.
shmup, graze mechanic, and even the color schemes of the ships.
This is a good game, but better if you add strange bullets or enemies.

This is a good game, but better if you add some special (strange) bullets or enemies.
Nice graphics and music! The gameplay was pretty smooth too. The theme seemed a bit shoehorned though.
Thanks for all the comments. :)
@ethankennerly, that's a good idea. I would get somewhat annoyed by those enemies,but didn't think about how to fix it. I'll do that on a later version! :D
@triforcespark, that was one of the inspirations (kinda). Though I was aiming to make a "non bullet hell" shmup. xD
@patrickgh3, that was one of my concerns (that it would look like that), but I wasn't able to think about any other way to use it, after I started the game...
I wasn't sure what to put for fun, but while typing this in I realised just wanted to try and beat that boss again.
A cool SHMUP, bullets could stand out a little more and could use the theme more but the graphics were brilliant and the Music/Effects felt really perfect for it. Most of all, really addictive fun.
In scatter mode bullets can fly through boss! Anyway very good game!
Outstanding graphics and audio design!
Nice work!
I loved the graphics and the sounds.
I also did a shooter where the weapons randomly change every 10 seconds.
Nice Graphics, especially the leader
I love the art and the game mechanic works really well. It's polished. I had a lot of fun!
Nice game, love me some scrolling shooters! I wasn't quite sure if my shots stopping working occasionally was intentional, like I'd run out of ammo, but I couldn't see how it recharged if it did. Made it to the end regardless :)
Nice little shmup with good graphics.
The theme.. this was a bit easy man ;)
Thanks again for all the comments. =D
It's great to know your thoughs on it. =)
@unusualcadence, I actually forgot to add it to the description (though it's on the in game help). If you keep shooting for long enough, your weapons will overheat (and thus, start to flash in red) and then stop to work. Should have made that more clear... ^^"
@patrickgh3, @Just Tom, @Dir3kt, well... I saw that coming. xD
During development I noticed that my take on the theme was quite light (and somewhat forced... I started to use 10s as the cooldown for pretty much everything). =X
I'll try to focus more on the theme, next time. (Maybe even on the post compo) ^^
Lot of 10 second references here, which I personally found funny. I always wanted to make a space shooter. Great stuff.
Real good stuff. I wasn't expecting the boss. This game is quite hard for a bullet hell .. I really like the scanline look as well. Please rate my game! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=5288
seeing your love for games. the touhou and mgs reference. solid shooter. probably even more later on, but i keep dying. :D
Really cool! hard to pick up the powerups, though
nice space shooter! the boss had some cool attack patterns. overall a fun game!
Nice game, but I struggled a bit to see the bullets. I'm red/green colour blind, so that might be it. Fun to play though. Good job!
The controls felt clumsy, the ships don't move smoothly enough to actually do any leet bullet dodging. I feel like you tried to artificially balance that out by spamming extra lives. The cooldown thing with the first ship seems to add nothing meaningful or tactical to the shooting.
Nice game made fun :P
at the beginning it was kinda hard but after some tries i finished the bosses without 1 life loose :P nice work ^^
A bit too difficult, but otherwise, very nicely designed. It was very fun and very well polished. Graphics definitely stood out.
Nice entry. Style was great, and style is a big deal to me. Unfortunately I'm red/green colorblind and this was almost impossible to play. I could barely see the enemy projectiles coming at my face.
Graphics, music, and gameplay were all solid and polished. I enjoyed it. Nice work.
Neat game, though a bit on the hard side.
The red bullets could stand out more.
Graphics and sounds are very good, but it's a bit too hard for me.
Spaceships'art is great, I like those sprites.
It's nice also you implemented bonuses but it seems that it's impossible to catch them when we are in invulnerability phase. Maybe it's intentional.
Cool game, had some fun with it. Only thing I didn't get was the supposed special ability of the first ship? Otherwise nice entry, good use of theme!
Nice little shmup! Nice work getting some varied boss patterns in there and the new ship added some replay value (Although I wasn't sure exactly what the difference was, faster bullets?)
Pretty awesome game. Beat it with one life left!
Really nice work, but sound effects are quite ;)
Wonderful particles, I love the graphics !
Pretty nice game. I found it difficult. But overall a nice game.
Nice take on the arcade shooter genre. I enjoyed it! I seemed to have a hard time picking up the power ups, and often they would go off screen before I could even get close. Guess its just a tough game!
Nice graphics and good controls. The whole ship getting hot and not firing is a good twist to a scrolling space-shooter.
Nice work! Very nice sounds, graphics and animations and everything were very well done. The boss took FOREVER to kill. I hate how you can't hit him sometimes I would just be PUMPING lasers into the ship and he would not die. Anyway, great work! Keep it up!
Really well done with lots of polish! One little nag: it felt unfair that one couldn't pick up power ups when invincible (ship special). Otherwise a great entry!
Nice and polished game! I like it! ;-)
