Fun and Action Oriented, but a few flaws
I cannot bring myself to give this game a perfect score, but I can tell you it is worthy of earning more than the standard 2/5 and 5/10 I give most shooters and similar games submitted here simply because they are mostly all clones.
The style was great, though unfortunately a tad too reminiscent of Geometry Wars...but what this game lacks in graphical originality, it makes up for in excitement. I don't even have sound on this computer, and I'm having a blast playing.
A few problems I noticed:
-When the screen flips (nice touch) the text still displays as if the screen had not flipped. I don't know how you built this, but depending on how your code is written/how embedded that text graphic is, this could be easy to mildly irritating to fix. However, I think it would be worth your time considering it's pretty jarring to the senses.
-I can tell you spent some time on the graphics. They look nice when they aren't moving. I take personal offense (not really) to the shape tween you used to animate your enemies. I know you have a formula for making neon-sign looking lines...please take the time to make at least one other different frame for the enemies. I guarantee it will look 10x better than a shape tween.
-Although I see the appeal of auto-shoot, it left me feeling a little out of control. Some usable items would be nice, like a bomb I had to press "A" to use or something.
Other than those specific qualms, I have no problems with this game. In fact, it's pretty fun and easy on the eye. Please bring us more in the near future! I award you 3/5 and 7/10!
P.S. I never reached a boss level because I suck at these games. Is there one?
