Great Job Sean. Very polished presentation and graphics so far. I like the retro styling. The game play is excellent.
I was getting some crazy slow down when battling more than 2 big alien ships though. Seemed odd as some earlier sectors had many more elements and particles moving about. Wonder if the size of the big ships are hitting my laptop's vidcard too hard.
Noticed that you had a transparent cloud layer on those levels. Would be cool to incorporate other objects on this layer. An example could be some alien web construction when approaching the final stages or you could have a junkyard of debris and destroyed ships.
