Using special attack will change your ship's color. In this mode you can absorb enemies' projectiles with the same color and restore health.
CONTROLS:
Arrows - Movement
Q - Laser Beam
W - Ice Mode
E - Energy Shells
Space - Reset to normal attack
Pressing Q,W and E will toggle its special attack. Press it again to reset to normal attack

- Very nice music and graphics, but the game needs more sounds for the weapons, damage, etc. That touch would improve the gameplay, but in general, very good entry.
I missed some sfx only, but overall pretty decent shmup :D
Gratz!
Aside from that, gameplay wise the stuff is cool, I love the mechanics, the music is cool, but additional sound effects could help. Cool.
