Excellent. I would suggest giving the player a few lives though. You clearly have a good grip on GM. 5 / 5
A simplistic, but very enjoyable shoot'em'up. One point is that I'm guessing the power-ups are generated using a random number. There probably should be a cap on the number of power-ups. Say max of 1 every 15 seconds. Occasionally loads come along which gives me a very powerful ship. It means my highscores have really come from chance rather than skill. Also the online high scores haven't been working for me for a day apart from the first two or three I submitted. I'm guessing that is out of your hands though. Apart from that. It's a great game.
Reminds me of Guxt :P
Woohoo! 2nd place. Great Game!
Fun and addictive little game! Good difficulty curve too.
After a couple of plays the highscore table stopped working though :(
My highest score so far: 368
About the game
A score based SHMUP made whilst bored, The level is endless and harder enemies spawn depending on how powerful you are.
You can use your shield to defend yourself from enemy lasers and even destroy enemy fighters, but it rapidly drains your points.
Powerups:
U - Increases the amount of lasers you shoot up to a max of 6
M - Increases the amount of missiles you fire up to a max of 4
R - Increases your rate of fire for both your missiles and your laser, also increase the speed at which you and your missiles move
when you die, if your score is better than your previous best, it will let you enter your name on the highscore table.
