I played this for a little while, and had some fun with it. I really like the idea itself, but I think it's incredibly challenging, maybe a bit too much. The very first enemy is already shooting in 4 directions and his bullets are pretty fast, I die very easily. Maybe have the first few waves be slower enemies, weaker weapons, and work up to these harder guys? Either way, I do like this arena shooter style game and I think you can do a lot with it. Good job.

Yup I agree with Drachlen, it gets really hard quite quickly but in the beggining, the space between enemies is very slow.

Robotron! Getting cash faster would have been nice, but maybe I'm just bad at it. :)

Fun addictive little game. Really liked the shop system. Probably should stop the user from going off of the screen.

SO HARD! I don't understand how to kill an enemy without taking just as much damage as I deal.

Interesting, but starts out really slowly, and then there's suddenly way too many enemies. Gameplay is negating by just holding a key, which just shoots a straight line of bullets, making the game rather easy.

Could have been better, but I do like the basic concept of it!

Well, I don't have much to add. Basically what DaVince, EmptyFlash and choqaae said :)
