I wish you wouldn't have opted out of audio, as that was a definite five starts according to me.
Music was simple and catchy, and the voice work was nice too.

All in all though, a nice little shooter game.

Simple, but damn addictive =D

Simple graphics and gameplay, but very addictive :-)

Fun enough for a little shooter. The three-hit thing is a bit much, I would prefer something more flexible (such as 3 hits within X amount of time to lose). The orthogonal shooting makes it difficult to utilize the powerup.

-Music! SFX! AND Voice acting! Nice :D
-Fun and hard :)
-Control scheme is a little awkward to grasp :(
-Very minimalist game mechanics, but it works :|
-Keep it up!

why opted out audio? I think Audio is really good. you should how ever make the sound little lower or the music little higher. good "voice" recording made it feels like a good arcade game.

also the fact that you use File>new reminded me of the good old days of PC games.

the game itself is fun, I think it get fast really fast, there are some stuff that you can make it even more interesting (as all LD games)

over all good job, I enjoyed it

Nice little game. Simple and fun.

Good fun! Really liked the voice acting and sounds!

SCREEEN PROTECTOR! :D
(I loved the sounds)

The game looked simple at a first glance but after playing for a while it was obvious that you put a lot of work into it. Everything from the particle effects to the smooth movement of the player made the game feel polished and fun to play.

excellent job! love the voice overs, and very solid game mechanics, i think you should develop this further,

This is pretty well made. The mechanics work well, and the voice acting is cool :p. The difficulty definitely ramps up quite quickly, which isn't bad, I just wish I had a larger window to be able to dodge out of the way of the squares. Good work though, it plays really well.

I did like the music

This game made me want to purchase a joystick.
Great SFX!

I could not see the power bars on my screen ( my screen is 1024x600 ). The game was still totally playable and I had a lot of fun during 8-10 plays. I think the invulnerability + disable shoot on hit is a good idea but it's very long and most of the time I end up loosing my 3x life in a row. Maybe shorten the no shoot time while keeping the same time for invulnerability would help player to stay in the game longer and benefit form their three lives.
The level up and leveldown jingle are fun but they repeat when your bar is full then go down again... Maybe forbid a leveldown 5 seconds after a levelup would solve this.
