Need feedback on a simple schmup I'm working on

Post by Overload »

I'm developing a game for someone, and I need you guys to tell me if it's too easy/hard.
It's easy to me since I'm the one making it, so I need feedback.

Whats the key for the bombs? Can't seem to find it.

I've literally only played it for a few mins, but my feedback would be make the enemy ships weaker. When I move under them to fire, their bullets travel pretty fast and I don't seem to have time to destroy them before I have to move out of the way again. Also I think the ship is pretty big compared to the space that I've actually got to move around in so I keep taking damage.

Also, I think the url needs to be moved and made smaller, its pretty distracting.

Overall though I like it, and the music is excellent

z - fire
x - bombs
h - toggle hud
p - pause
m - toggle sound effects

Playing around with the bulletspeed now.

Can you shoot while moving diagonally?

Tested it on two laptops and it wasn't working on one. It's nothing in my code though.

decreased bullet speed and rate of fire, url moved.
