Good but...
There's no checkpoints; also, the following holodude is really stupid.
Despite that, it's a pretty good game.
Reviews for "Red Code 2"
Would have been a great flash game....
But there are no continues, no extra lives, not even saving.
You die, restart the game. And thats not fun at all after 3-4 times dying in the last beacon.
Also, the upgrade system is somewhat confusing, you dont really know how much the upgraded part is improved, and you cant know what is good and what isnt even remotely usefull. Which means you are going to die because you upgraded wrong type of thing in your guns, making them useless.
Which brings us back to the no checkpoints problem.
If there were checkpoints or lives, or saves, it would be much better, much more enjoyable shooter. Now its rather unfair feeling game.
It had potential
But the evolution of the weapon system ruined the entire game. At first I was like "hell yea, all into the burst FTW". It worked great, did its job, sent the aliens into alien heaven with ease. But then, like a sneaky trap, my shotgun desides to changed into something else. Something that resembles a magic spell from Dragon Ball Z or some shit. At first I was like, "WAM, its an upgrade, look at that shit." But then I soon realised that it was, on the other hand, a very unsatisfying downgrade.
With all my points spent like a pro in recharge I was upset that I could only fire this once amazing gun twice now. Not only that, but with the decreased recharge time, there was a decrease in damage to. I was like, "Jeez I guess the devolopers thought a nice steady rise in gun usefulnees leading to a steep drop-off will surely make it difficicult and frustrating"
Basically, go back, revise the guns now while it still on the homepage. Just tell newgrounds that you were simply beta-testing because you obviosly did little of it and then you will have a smack damn game.

Other than that, great job man, it was a game to be remembered.
Awesome game only to get killed by tiny bugs
A good game but what was ruined by the fact that i got killed by a bug that randomly fell from the sky and one hit killed me......while i was facing a worm boss....3rd beacon
I want to like it, but
The lack of a save feature hurts. I don't have time to sit and play a flash game for 30 minutes at a time, but I like the game enough to want to progress through it.
The knockback from getting hit is excessive, I would like to see knockback depend more on enemies.
The pits are annoying and somewhat pointless.
Otherwise it is a great game.
