Looks very slick... Great job!
Made it to world 2, level 1.
One question: Is there anything the player can do to influence whether or not you get any extras? One of the problems I had is that especially later on, sometimes there appears to be too much time in between the powerups -- I had a hard time getting past world 1 level 4 initially, simply because the time kept running out, even though I was clearing things as fast as possible simply because I had to work with the standard weapon the entire time.
Some constructive criticism (maybe too late since you already have a final version, but just in case ;-)
- The wipe/transition between the levels seems graphically a bit out of place with the GFX style. Might look better if you use a (cross)fade instead?
- The pulsating background looks good graphically, but makes me a queasy/motionsick after a while. Perhaps there should be an option to turn off the background effect?
Anyway, overall the game looks great graphically, and you have a nice big selection of power-ups available.
As a side note, the voice-over reminds me a lot of the various 'educational' BBC programs, or perhaps the teletubbies games my toddler plays. :-?
Out of curiosity, what program did you use to create your installer with?
