Prepare for an onslaught of aliens that come wave after wave! Shoot your way through 100 waves. Shoot spaceships for weapon upgrades like the Atomic Blast or a Laser.

Use your mouse to rotate your ship then Left click to shoot.
Press Z or click on the Laser button to activate the laser
Press X or click on the Atomic Blast button to activate the Atomic Blast
ESC to Pause\Quit

WOW! I LOVE this game!

I only had a little delay problem after running out of multishots, and on the tenth level I froze: http://klikfusion.com/snapshotpro/boss_level.png when I ran out. Everything remains frozen but there was a saucer flying around, so I think it crashed for the most part. I noticed that when I died I could still hear the shooting sound and it seemed kinda weird with the two atomic blasts and the still visible multishot thing. Perhaps there shouldn't be lives?

Great game! I hope you fix these few bugs and make even more levels!!!

Thanx Ricky,
First time I have herd of the game doing the things you mentioned.
I'll see if I can fix that, Thanx for the comments.
What wave did you make it too? did you managed to get past the first boss level?

BTW, There is 100 waves and a new boss every tenth wave (Big one at the end!)

Oh I must have misread - I got to level 10 (which I thought was the last)

Tried again and didn't get very far. I still found that holding down the mouse key while running out of Multi Shots temporarily froze the game. Dying left the multishot things visible and if I was still holding down the mouse key I could hear shots but they wouldn't be fired. When I lost I noticed the mouse wasn't visible over the highscores, and the saucer sound repeated many times.

Ok, I think I got those bugs worked out now!

If you get a chance to play it again Ricky could you let me know if you still notice any bugs. (or anybody who notices any bugs)

Thanx again for your comments and feedback

I think the main bugs are gone, but your strings and counters are cutting off. I don't know if this is because you meant to include a font, or if the strings are set up wrong.

This is a really nice game, with potential to be fun, but with games like this, players like the ability to have power and get farther. What I mean is, this game is a little slow for what the average player will like. And without the laser incorporated earlier, some people might think it's going to be boring.

I barely stuck out to level 10, then I thought it might get more interesting after the boss, but I quit at level 17, because it was getting pretty repetitive. I can't imagine anyone getting to the final boss....

Very nice game, I like what you have, and hope this idea will be improved upon! Oh also, a pause button if you get a chance ;) That makes it easier to leave, go to the bathroom, and come back. Haha ;)

Thanx Eliyahu,

I get what your saying and that was one of my fears (to repetitive)
So I have a few ideas to "spruce it up" a bit and ya...MORE POWER!!! lol

Thanx again for your comments, I'll post an updated version soon
Any more ideas are always welcomed.
I can mention anyone in the credits (once I make a credits)

Credits are overrated, just put my name in bold as a background for your game. I'd prefer red, it's be a nice contrasting color. xD

You might want the shooting have the angle set from the center rather than the tip of the ship.

Actually the angle is set to the mouse (crosshair) and the closer you put the mouse to the ship the different effect you will get (If you put the mouse directly on top of the ship you can shoot behind you)

Actually after a while the bosses gain an insane amount of health, but is beatable, I managed it after a while.
