Awsome!
Very fun!
It was a little hard to tell the diffference between the enemy fire and the pickups, but a quick pull from the shield tells you. I got to wave 31, 77k score. Didn't bother posting it.

Nice score, you would get 3rd place if you submitted it :).
Wow!
Absolutely amazing, with a few choice things.1. Even with the shield, it's kind of easy to die, how about a small health bar?2.Using the shield to gather things that let you sue the shield more, why not use a different button to gather the crystals and get a crystal bar, which refills at the end of every level.3.Different music?If not for everywhere, why not just different music in challenges?So, other than those 3 things, this game was perfect.Great graphics and gameplay.Favouriting and rating 5.
Skellus responds:
1. Nope, I am highly influented by Japanese-Shooters, Galaga and R-Type :).
2. Nope again, that would make things easier.
3. Because of the lack of support for anything of music kind in flash, I find limiting to one or two tunes very good. If only there was FMOD support, or at least OGGs, then there would be more musics.
Thanks very much :)
Fun
Its an amusing time killer with lots of levels and a vareity of emimies, very well done.
The reason I'm giving it an eight is not because anything that was there was badly done, but more because other things could have been there. Like for example different types of power ups, such as sheilds, and different weapons besides the ones that you get every few levels or so, or maybe simply offer choices at those points.
One other thing (though I didn't mark you down for this) is very minor, how do the flame firing enemies work in space? its not a big thing ans has little matter in an arcade shooter like this but just thought I'd ask.
Otherwise fun and solid game, a good time killer.
Skellus responds:
Let's say it isn't a flame, but some super advanced Gas, which when with contact with electromagnetic waves of some specified frequencies disperses generating astonishing amounts of heat :)
And thanks for the feedback and critique.
Liked the game but...
Ok, I really like the mouse controls. Only problem with it as you're clicking away (autofire is WAY too slow) your ship bounces around and in the later levels it's really easy to bounce into a bullet or mine or something. A key on the keyboard to fire would be a real easy solution to that. And you don't have to hear the mouse clicking 200 times a second.
It was really nice being able to clear the crystals into a single line so you could clear the screen out but after level 15 or so you need to start saving your shield so you can't clear the screen anymore. That's the biggest reason I died was the screen was so cluttered with crystals I couldn't see the shots being fired at me. Another key being used to line up the crystals would be nice. All in all good game.
Skellus responds:
Or just make the auto-fire super fast. Nope for either. I am not here to make the life of players easier, only more interesting. If you can't keep the mouse in one place while shooting rapidly, then I am afraid I won't do anything about it. Besides. what is the difference between hearing the mouse click 200 times and hearing the key press 200 times? :P
Again no. You can't have too easy life now, can you? ;)
But I've changed the colors, so now it shouldn't be a big problem anymore.
It's a great game. Though in the later waves it gets so heavy that you can't tell which shots are yours and which ones are theirs!
