Pretty good job on this one. I'm glad you included the grid ... only you might want to have lines connecting the dots it would look a lot better ... right now you can see the effect is similar to Geometry Wars but without the lines it doesn't seem as impressive. Then again it might not look right since Geometry Wars probably uses a shader. I also like the fact that you made the powerups separate items that you can choose to pickup.
Now the bad things:
A: Need to set larger deadzones for the analog pads or make them adjustable ... the controls feel really floaty because my ship likes to keep on going when the stick is very close to centered but not quite ... it didn't seem to support analog either ... ship only went one speed.
B: The bullets and the ship need to be different colors. It's way to easy to mistake your bullets for your ship and then take a hit because you thought you were somewhere ... where only your bullets were.
Other than that is is a pretty decent knock off. You need to join forces with that Neon Blaster GW knock off which includes the larger than screen size box and star BG but doesn't include the grid. It also has nice glowing eneimies more like GW. Between the two of them you're really close to the Xbox 360 game.
