I once made the Demo version and now I releashed the mini arcade version with 3 levels.

For all the graphics I have used free libraries from Clickteam.

I would aprecciate a review too...

Oh I have finished it several times... Don't think it is too difficult...

Left you a review as it has lots of bits I like about it. Control scheme is nice using the bottom part of the screen and something even some AAA games don't do right. The presentation could be better, using better fonts etc, the bullets all following you with the boss makes it way too hard for a first level.

The lines you have to show the movement of the craft look more like bullets so I would remove those.

Ahhh, thank you for the feedback.

I really appreciate your comments and especially for the bottom control area. It was something I really put a lot of thought in it. I never liked that usually in touch games the user clicks in the play area, hidding the graphics and action.
For the fonts etc nothing to comment. You are more than right. I really have to work it out somehow...
Hmm, regarding the difficulty maybe I will decrease the first level's difficulty just a bit and release a new version.

The lines, hmm i like them but I had the same comment from several people who played the game so I probably need to improve this as well in the next version.

Very useful feedback thank you again!

By the way...I have completed the 3 levels several times... :P

Happy I can help, for the fonts I would go to "1001 free fonts" and see what matches the game on there.
I usually put the font into an Active although it can give you mixed results doing that due to anti aliasing.

For the lines you could maybe make it a larger image which is white but set the transparency really high and that might make it look better.

As a developer you are usually the best at your games, I can complete Alien Scumbags but not seen anyone else get past level 3 yet lol, that is why it is always good to see what feedback you get.

Ahhh, very good. I was searching for a site like this.

For the lines I am thinking of various size clouds which could create a fake effect of height. The lower would receive even shadows, the higher will overlap everything.
What do you think?

But still I think I will put them in the sequel...Among other stuff I am thinking of.

What I think I must change for sure in this version is the difficulty. I keep receiving some complains regarding the dfifficulty of the first level.

Did you like the music? I spent a lot of hours to find royalty free music.

Also I think in the next update I must implement online score but I don't feel very confident yet.

Really, Do you happen to know any ways of increasing my traffic?

Clouds sound good as long as you give them some transparency.
Difficulty in games is a hard thing to get right as developers we know all the tricks but players don't.
The music really suited the game so that was nice, regarding online scores I found those to be pretty tough to implement properly.
