I'll try not to disappoint you. :U
Anyways, might as well list down the upgrades i've planned so far...

Weapons:
- Gatling upgrade (done, double rate of fire with weaker bullets)
- Spread fire (multiple bullets per shot, perhaps lower rate of fire)
- Bigger shots (increased damage)
- Splinter upgrade (adds some sort of splash damage to shots, perhaps lower rate of fire)
- Bullet speed upgrade (faster bullets, maybe increased damage)
- TMER upgrade (short for Techno-Magical Energy Ray, shots hit instantly, damage may be increased or reduced)

Other:
- Armor upgrade (increases damage resistance)
- Thruster upgrade (increases mobility)
- Shield (multiple levels)
- Regeneration (maybe multiple levels, slowly replenishes health)

Uhh yeah. I'll have to think of more "other" upgrades. Also, spot the references to players in the community. :U

Edit: Oh yeah, and all the upgrades are additive, meaning that none of them exclude others. The TMER upgrade does render the bullet speed upgrade obsolete though, which i'll have to think about.

Make it fire faster instead? (aka less time between shots)
:D

Put all this into categories so you have to get, lets say the bullet speed upgrade before the TMER upgrade. I love how you also are trying to get everything to be balanced.
Good idea actually. That way you get to see the effect of both upgrades. The TMER will be a late upgrade then, but that won't really matter.

@Blam: That'll be a separate upgrade, but thanks for reminding me. :U

@thunder771: Thanks, i'm glad you're enjoying it.

Also, teaser time.



I'm hovering the cursor above the front gatling upgrade.

so you planing on realeasing any more updates or just the finished version?
Cuz i must tell you i enjoyed playing this game.
Oh, but of course. I reckon the finished version will take at least another month, and will probably contain a huge amount of bugs if it isn't tested. In other words, you guys are my quality assurance team. :U

Next demo will be released when i've ironed out a few issues, such as damage resistance being a decimal number. Also, the shop needs a quit button.

Edit: Oh yeah, need to finish level 4 too. Silly me. :U

i havent actually played this yet but from what ive seen in the screenshots i suggest u :
add a banking (tilting) animation to the ship as it moves side to side
add background animations like comets, astroids and the occasional supernova
add indistructable objects like astroids or space debris in some levels to ramp up the difficulty
make sure evrything sounds good. because bad audio can ruin a game
include some sort of superweapon upgrade to get u out of a tricky situation
[Pure], wanna join?
wow, i just founded this after i postet this:http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?t=212130
when youre finished you GOTTA make me some of your pixelart piecesXD
another thing:do you still need music and soundeffects for this?
Cause i can create ANY sound you want.(Even spoken things if u want;))
