Really fun arcade game to cure some afternoon boredom. The only problem I had with it, personally, is that I'm colour-blind, and it was somewhat difficult to differentiate between incoming attacks and incoming treasure; then again, that's really just me.

yeah it can be hard to distinguish treasure from enemy bullets at times and it's something I really need to think about for future versions. I would like to make stronger magnetism upgrades 'cuz it was fun in my early prototypes being able to suck in tons of treasure really fast from way across the screen, only that really did look like it was attacking you!
i cannot say much
the game is good
i like the enemies and their movement
so much bullets =\
but i prefer to use the original cursor
rather than the low opacity pointer
cause i can see better where i ll go next
use Shift (right) for pulse
cause M is the least key i would figure its used for pulse
i had to push all the buttons on keyboard to figure where it is
i prefer using the mouse for that game instead of keyboard cause the keyboard is laggy
Reminds me of galaga.
I like it, sort of easy.
Great game in a classic genre. Audio and music well made. Sound and music in this game, is half the experience.
At times it was hard to see what possible to pick up, and what is enemy shots. Perhaps the hard to see difference in all the clutter it's part of the game?
The lag people are talking about seems to be related to the mouse routine itself. With the keyboard, the lag didn't exist at all. With the mouse, the lag only happened while moving the mouse. (Mouse movements causes the CPU to hit 100% load) I'd guess the mouse update routine is a bit too fast.

hmm...this mouse issue is a strange one: I've not experienced it myself, but I'll have a mess around and see if I can figure out whats going on.
A nice shooter here you really made it so it has a sort of arcade feeling, I like the game and the level ups are nice, You even added your own twist of things here and that makes for a nice entry, So for me this was an entertaining game here I was pretty impressed
