this is really nifty! i love the title screen, and the look and feel of the game. it reminds me a bit of the trench run sequence from star wars. took me a while to figure out how to shoot though

Got pretty repetitive after a while, could've used a boss or some other way of progression (upgrades etc.), that might have required extra time though.

Visuals were pretty neat!

Hi, I'm co-developer and I think there might be a bug that stops progression to the boss level at the end of the game. :(

There's the mech boss from the title page in there somewhere. Should come after level 5. :S

Also, there's a bug that resets the score after each level leading one of our belated testers to think the whole game reset after each level.

Thanks for the comments, both praise and constructive criticism. :)

There is a boss! the waves you complete are actually different levels (you see the background change), you get to fight the mech, nicely animated but sooo tough. Nice one, not a bad little game.

Visually stunning! Really liked the atmosphere.

Confirmed, game breaking bug. Until a fix is released you can use 'T' key to add 5 seconds. Worth it, just to play the Boss.

The game itself was fairly fun, but the soundtrack made me want to rip my hair out after a while :(

I really love these graphics a lot, though.

Amazing graphics and very challenging game. Could have used better controls, specially for shooting, but overall 4/5

Theme felt forced, but otherwise, this is sweet!

It's pretty cool ;) And these colors :D Good work.

You really could have explained the controls someplace, it took me a while to discover that "x" was for shooting.

A space ship shooter is always a great option, and this is a nice execution of that kind of game.
I just love it, great!

Very interesting visuals you have there, it is really unique. Gameplay wise i could just stand in the left center and spam bullets and clear the level. The boss seemed almost unbeatable, no way near at winning against it. Still, solid game all round =)
