It's an upgraded version of the original Caravan Star with faster ships and modified weaponry.

Looks pretty good... downloading ^_^

Edit: The only thing that bothers me a bit is the ships' speed settings, most are too fast for me.
And no way you can destroy half of the level with that low speed...

Good stuff.

There's some issues with visibility, the bonus items that move directly toward your ship could be transparent, and bullets could stand out better. But overall it's great fun for Caravan fans.

Also the music is awesome :P

Edit: Seems the Hunter ship needs some balancing, I was able to blow up the first midboss before it got more than 2 of it's yellow shots off. D:

Speaking of, patch to .28c, then at the title enter the Konami move followed by Button 2 for some nice surprises.

Brings fond memories of Star Force and Star Soldier from the NES era :)

Unfortunately the latest (June 7) patches seem to be lost. Did anyone happen to pick them up?
