Hi all,
I have been coding in Flash for some time now and I feel kind of confident enough there for making shmups I could imagine... more or less, but after my last game I saw Flash limit, making the game force CPU a lot and even slowing down when bullet density was high, Im not totally sure to move into other technology, but I am seeing other tools and languages out there, so I stumbled on many sites telling that either java or java with Open Gl Es is a good way to build a shmup for Android in either 2d or 3d but I would like to hear you guys who are expert in this field and can tell more about the best possible option for Shmup Android development, so could you please share your thoughts about which environment and languages are best? I would like to know if there is any environment with graphical editor in the Flash fashion where one can easily not only put together many sprties animation but also specify visually points like for enemy spawning, bullet hitting, masking and so on.
By the way the game I mentioned can be found here, as you probably will notice at some points speed may vary

And I have never tried making Android Shmup in Flash as I dont use as3 nor Air but that makes me wonder, have anyone made a shmup in as3/Air for Android? and in this case, is it running at good speed? I heard as3 games could be just a little faster but never heard about as3 games deployed on Android maybe the speed increases a lot that I shouldnt be looking for other tool.
Thanks beforehand for any advice =)
EDIT I forgot to add that mainly I focus on making danmaku style, so thats why Im looking for technology that grants decent speed, also I heard about the Corona SDK that apparently encapsulated parts of the difficulty of code and uses LUA (I think) but havent seen any impressive example either, Im talking about power to move many bullets and enemies on screen at good speed you know
