*2024-09-20*

This is a great game! I played it a lot when I was in pre school. Now I’m 13, in 8th grade, and I just wanted to soak up some nostalgia. Thank you for giving me good memories! 😊

### 3/5 — Good, but flawed.

*2022-05-12, version 1.0.4*

This game is very nice. It has 4 different ships, powerups to enhance them, and lots of content.
One problem is that you can easily cheese the end boss by using the ship that shoots circles and standing in the middle of the screen.
Please add an extra attack to the boss to counter this.

### 4/5 — feels bad quality but great game

*2021-08-09, version 1.0.4*

ok so when you start the game it feels like cheap unity game made in few hours like any other but the gameplay is very fun. it allows you to change ships when you are playing which is cool because you might want lazer type for boss and wide range for weaker enemies. feels smooth to play and is just as fun as any other shooter. only complaint is that you cant change stuff in settings to do with actual gameplay (such as sensitivity, bomb button location, etc). needs to add that. also bomb button is at top right of screen which is little awkward to reach but other than that its perfect shooter. the difficulty increases as you play which allows new players to get used to it and gradually develop skill to do harder levels. very cool.
