Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Squize - Cheers buddy , it's nice that they seem to have noticed me there.

SOB - The difficulty is a love it hate it thing. I have plenty of people complaining it's too easy, but yea it is pretty hardcore so sorry if you found it a bit tough. The backgrounds were something I really wanted to change, but the brownish cloudy background worked so well that I found it too difficult to come up with 5 more that were easily repeatable and worked as well.

Sietjp - Thanks mate that’s very encouraging!

divillysausages - Cheers. I think in most shooters you can get away with being still for periods of time, and it's definitely not possible to stay in one position for too long. Again it's a difficulty issue where hardcore shmup fans find it too easy, but casual players find more than 10 bullets on the screen to be a brain overload.

IP - Yes it was . Thanks a lot man, I didn't notice the text box issue, oops, bit late now. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The slowdown I think is an optical illusion a lot of the time, though it might well run slow for some people. It's the same on the boss where it shoots fast bullets followed by slow ones, it looks like the games slowed down.
Unfortunately that losing your gun problem is a really bug that somehow slipped through. Basically I thought I'd capped the upgrades but I must have deleted some code by accident at some point and so it's possible to upgrade past the maximum number of weapons causing it to not know what gun to use. It's easy to fix, but it's too late now that the game has spread .


Ray - I'm sorry to hear that. I guess like anything you can't please everyone. Shooters are my thing and not everyone's a shooter fan but thanks for giving it a go.
