It's working on Windows! :)
I enjoyed the game. It's simple but really nice to play. I would like play another levels.
That would be great with some good graphics and sound.

I'd like the bullet collisions to be more precise. It's a bit too easy to get hit. Also, popup boxes are disruptive, you'd be better off using the "press p to continue" graphic when going to the next level, or merely saying "next level" and putting it on a timer, going straight to the next level without needing a key press. Also, if you're using arrows for movement, space is a better fire key than 1. On the flip side, I like your spaceships.

I agree with scriptorum, i think removing the popup boxes should be the first improvement, followed by more precision with the bullet collisions, followed by some nice explosions! It's fun to lose as long as the explosion is pretty. :) Good start.

Good start. Not sure how it fits the theme as no explanation was given. Agree with scriptorum and deathray. I would give the enemies different looks (other than palette swaps) so they are more distinct and would tie certain paths/behaviors to each type of enemy.
