I think this game inspired by Ikaruga ;)

Solid shmup that you could definitely build on for future games! I'm glad it looks like you figured out the blank screen thing - I had the same problem and for me it was because I was trying to run fullscreen :)

Worked fine for me, I like the mechanic switching between b/w... I wasn't able to get all that far, are there powerups? How would that work with this mechanic? I think there's more under the hood with this concept... Thanks for making this!

Ikaruga, FTW!

Is the blank swf this problem? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24097198/haxe-projects-only-shows-blank-flash-player
I fixed my problem following that.

I thought of Ikaruga as well, good job for 5 hours!

Not bad for a game made in 5 hours. You should make a post-LD edition with improved everything.

Straight forward Shmup, but it works well and has solid mechanics. I wish that the background was a bit more interesting, but other than that well done!

Neat little shmup, not bad for five hours!

I think it's a very interesting concept, though it still needs a bit of work to feel right. I think there is the short working time to blame for the lack of content and polishing. The biggest comment I have on the gameplay is that the ship feels very slow to manouvre, which was somewhat frustrating to me.

Nice entry, but the concept is not very new isn't it ? :) Anyway you achieve a nice work.

It's good gameplay, fun, just not sure if the 'worlds' part of the theme is connected :) good job.
