I think it's not very good. It's slow and clunky and the enemy fire is too hard to see.

It's nice that they use "Out of Control" by Edguy (featuring guest vocals by Blind Guardian's Hansi Kürsch) as their boss theme, though.

They just released a bugfix version which does eliminate some of the choppiness.....

I like the production value however agree that the game itself is a little lacking..........but very good overall for a flash shmup.
Don't just dodge bullets, dance around them.

I kinda wish they'd stop making shooters in flash since shooters are supposed to be super-optomised with direct input. This is impossible with flash, so why even bother? How about putting your resorces into programming an actual game rather than mucking around in flash?

I thought this was pretty damned good. For flash, great graphics. I didn't get any slowdown - but I'm also on an AMD64.

Very nice use of alpha.
