Sorry for the low score.

The game itself: Great. But the timer: Not so great.

I was only able to beat this game by right clicking, waiting until the music stopped, and then playing without a timer (It shows a big "-"). After seeing how many stages of the final boss there are, it's pretty obvious that the game is virtually impossible. I imagine the game runs slower than intended for most players, since beating the game took about seven minutes at least, about two minutes for the final boss alone. With maxed-out weapons. Never moving out from under its hit points.

Until you can find some way to make the game run normally for everyone, I'm afraid I can't recommend this to anyone except for a quick look. If it helps, I'm using Safari 4.0.3 on Mac OS 10.5.8, 1 GB RAM, 1.83 GHz. Intel. ... Hold on... *Activity Monitor* Memory: 10 MB free... >_< Could that be the problem? Well, in any case, the game's timer runs down before I have a chance to win, and my computer shouldn't affect that *this* much. It should probably be tied to the number of frames that... err... something... Argh, I can't think anymore. I may as well submit.

This is a very good game

I finally got around to making an attempt at finishing the game, and it only took me a few tries to get there. This really is a game that gets easier once you've beaten it, too; after I beat it the first time, it was rare for me not to beat it on all subsequent playthroughs. On the run in which I got my 6,000,000 point medal, I finished with 5 hearts left.

Also, pro-tip: if you're going for the 6 million point medal, you need at least 3,180,000 when you reach the final boss. It's also a good idea to have at least 800,000 when you reach the first boss, as that will give you a bit of leeway in the second half; I missed a whole bunch of ships that I should have killed in the second half, but still got to 6,000,000 because of how well I did at the start.

The only thing I'd change is having to go through the credit screens at the start after every single play; I've already skipped it once, I shouldn't need to skip it again.

Don't let the name fool you!

This is a good one - no complicated money, upgrades, or ammo conservation, just a plain and simple old-school shoot-the-bad-guys-and-avoid-enemy-fi re game with an automatic level-up system to make things interesting. But don't let the name fool you, the game itself might be five minutes long, but you'll probably lose the first few times you play, as you'll have to learn how to conserve your health and harvest as much experience as possible early on in order to withstand the hard parts later. My only complaint is that at certain parts the 'blurry' effect, combined with the sheer amount of stuff flying through the air, makes it hard to see what's going on.
