I got lots of great feedback last time I posted this. I've now implemented:

- a few varieties of enemies
- limited HP's for the player
- A local set of high scores (just tracks scores done by a person in a sitting)
- a few other things

If any of your are bored, would you mind playing through a few times? I know it's not nearly polished yet, but I'd like to have something that I can use in my portfolio. The main thing I'm looking for right now is how far you guys can get in it. What kind of high scores are you getting?

When I die and restart, the enemies from the previous instance remain on the screen

The crosshair is currently drawn below the enemies

It would be nice if there was some indication, some small explosion, when you hit the enemy but it doesn't kill them yet.

I get hurt even when the shots don't hit me...?

it's unclear whether an enemy hitting the wall behind you affects your health

but looks good!

and the size of it is annoying, its difficult to have the full game onscreen at once

You know, I think its interesting that you can shoot disabled ships into other ships. It almost makes me wish you should expand on that concept, like stun a ship and use it as a trap for others coming down on the screen. yay for tactics?
