Nostalgic, Old school, Rocket launching, Alien murdering, Ready for beta...I think. Check out the demo and let me know what you think (be brutally honest, thanks).

I voted C. It's kinda fun ^.^ Not the best I've seen, but it seems quite heavily Warblade-inspired and that's always a good thing :D

The enemy bullets feel way too fast, but I'll probably get used to them if I play more. The long transitions between waves where you can't shoot are kind of irritating. Perhaps you could cut them down to a second or so, or allow shooting during them? Finally, the stages feel kinda same-y, since the majority consist of different configurations of the same basic enemy.

I didn't get very far, only to Stage 10, so they might be more varied later on, I don't know.

I'm interested to see where this game goes from here.

- Seems like you've got joystick movement, but no button input?
- Buying buffs is cool, but I hardly get any money
- For levels with multiple waves, would be good to show how many waves are remaining or something at the beginning -- I was getting annoyed that I would clear one and then another would appear
- Not sure what the Rocket power up is doing; they didn't seem to get any stronger?

Thanks Pteriforever and shmuppyLove, great feedback and ideas. I really appreciate the input. Using a Xbox controller, you should be able to use the A button for rockets, B for MegaBombs. However, this is the input for using a Mac. Let me know what system you are using. Thanks.
