Nice Game. found it got overwhelming quickly as there were few power ups but once you get going its fun.
I liked the game quite a bit. But I love dual-stick shooters and 360 controller option is wonderful. It's fun to play.
Aaaahhh I want to play this game. I could only see the gameplay video but it looks amazing. Wish I had a windows machine to try out these XNA titles.
Thank you guys!
Good point regarding the music ^^. I used Autotracker and I wished that I could find a way to change the default Win7 MIDI synthesiser. It sounds quite bad. I made an even more annoying music with PXTone but thankfully, it didn't made it to the final game ^^.
And also good point on the lack of power ups, the game is not quite well balanced and your success depends on the probability of power ups to appear :-/.
Not well balanced, and the graphics could have been a bit better (including the font) bot other than that great job! Its fun to play with!
Nice game.
A few annoyances though: When you die, all your powerups are gone and you're having a hard time. Also, the shoot sound gets annoying real fast. Other than that quite ok.
Decent shooter. I don't mind the fuzzy graphics, but the font is rather difficult to read.
interesting, I love shooter games, but can't test due to XNA4 dependency (doesn't work on anything but windows, which I don't have)
Controls are weird...why no WASD ? Why a middle mouse button ? I haven't any middle mouse butoon nor gamepad. No bullet time for me.
Anyway, the games works fine and is quite fun to play

The music and the sounds are sort of annoying. At least to me. xD Otherwise, it's a good bullet-storm type game.
