2015/04/19 1.1 - Corrected some inaccuracies with the Survival mode. (Strike Charge was maxed out from the start, score was inaccurate, game was not properly set tp Expert Mode.)
2015/04/20 1.2 - Added sound options to the Pause menu. - Added legal information and an Exit button to the Title screen. - Slightly optimized graphic assets.
I think the guys with the Jetpack were overcome with love and embraced peace... and then splatted on the ground because I removed their jetpack when they were miles in the air!
I also never figured out how to use the strike that I charged up. But the game played very smooth and looked good. The only thing I would mention is that the music became repetitive quickly. A mute button would be a nice option so the sound effects would still be heard.
a pretty cute shoot 'em up. Slightly basic, but it does everything a good shmup does. Nice enemy variety, good sense of speed in the background, cool music. Well done.
Got 174,000, fun game. Really liked the art style, the controls felt good, difficulty ramped up at a nice pace and there were lots of different enemies. Oh, and that strike attack is awesome. Music, got repetitive after a while, but really fun game, nicely done :)
Pretty solid shmup. good level variety. I felt the hitboxes were a little too big, and I'd like to see more types of power ups, upgrading existing ones (like getting 2 gold stars = spread of 5 hearts)
The weapon has a really solid feel to it - the sound effects and explosions make it really fun to use. Nicely done! Kept me engaged longer than most shmups.
Very good art and addicting gameplay. And maybe try adding diagonal movement too. It will make the gameplay smoother. Try adding different types of music too. :)
Version 1.2 is up, adding some audio control among a few other adjustments - see description for details.
As always, thanks for playing and leaving feedback! Glad you enjoyed!
@stoarch: Patience you must have, my young padawan. Better to bait 'em than try to kill 'em.
@Jack Zackowitz: Yeah, colliders are top priority in stuff I have to fix later on. And definitely going to play around more with the power-ups.
@keyboardsan: Diagonal? You mean dedicated keys? Hm, that might be something to try... And yeah, fun fact, half the time I spent on music was on the boss theme, which ended up not being used at all. In hindsight I should have put it into the later levels as BGM. But doing it now would be cheating, wouldn't it?
@HolyBlackCat: I know, right? Definitetly titling my postmortem "This LD gave me cavities".
Wow. This feels very complete, I love it. I managed to get the 3 way shooter thingy I got so hyped but then I got damaged and could get it again. Awesome game I thing is design is good with the variety of enemies and the ramping up difficulty
The "Auto fire" if you hold the mouse button is a bit slow, so I put my Gamepad on Rapid fire mode - is that cheating? :P
Liked the Game overall. Kept me engaged longer, than it probably should have. I don't know about the Theme though, since it is just a basic shoot'em up...
@Robotic-Brain: Yes. Yes, that's totally cheating. And I didn't even think of that when I coded the inputs, so it's fair game.
And yes, there's hardly anything original here; pretty much every single element has been done (better) by some Touhou game or other arcade shooter. And it's on purpose: the goal here wasn't to reinvent anything, but to make something that I actually felt was in a finished state. That said, I don't believe this has any impact on the use of the theme itself. (Rather, I'm expecting a big fat zero in innovation. Hehe.)

Couldn't figure out how to use the hyperbeam, but I managed to do fine without it.

Good job!
Glad you liked it!
@MiniBobbo: Yeah, the music IS a bit repetitive... I'll see to add a little something to that effect in the pause menu when I can.
It's a shame for the HUD and the background but it's a very good game overall.
And maybe try adding diagonal movement too. It will make the gameplay smoother. Try adding different types of music too. :)
This game is simple, nifty and interesting to play! I really liked the graphics.
