its a very very fun game to play, here's a few ideas to help make it better.
I think you should remove these "miss" things entirely. Having to blow up after a certain number of ships fly by is NO fun, especially since when you respawn you are for a few seconds invisible (not on screen), and so many ships get past you at that time.
You don't lose a life when you kerplode because of misses, I don't know if it was intentional (I sure hope it was, cuz I don't think I could fight the last boss if it wasn't), but again, definatly remove this whole aspect. If you do keep it, keep it merely for score sake. This especially rings true when you overheat your weapons, this is a gauranteed "blow up" situation, as at least 30 ships fly by you by the time you cool down.
The whole level up thing was really well thought. After you reach a certain score interval, you're ship levels up with new equipment, and new enemies come in. I enjoyed the enemies, pretty neat variety you got going on.
Definatly change the shoot buttons to Z, X, C, or something very close by. I kept forgetting ctrl was the blue shot, and shift the normal shot.
Very spectacular graphics, loved it all.
Aside from other upgrades other then shield and heat, nothing else to add.
Very well done.

Hey SilenT.
You have no idea how much this moved me. Above everything though, I am glad that I was able to help you in some way. You have serious potential as a musician, I insist you keep at it, you can get there, you have the heart and talent.
BTW, can I have the picture with the "M" and MaestroSorrow below it? If you do not mind, I would like to use that for my CD cover, for the demo CD I will pass around.
Thank you Dj-SilenT-HunteR once again, words simply fail me.

it was extremely enjoyable, however I hated the fact that when you died, you had to start from scratch, rather then from the level you lost at. Level 1 took long enough to complete, then those speeding bikes at level 2 just wiped me out X_x... shouldn't have bought that powerplant right away...
still 5/5 from me ^^.

You're guys intro never fails to scare the crap out of me. I know its coming, yet it ALWAYS works >_<.
This one, I really liked the monkey getting pelted by bagels, that served to put a smile on my face ^^.

"Good, but please don't steal tunes."
Please, if you are going to use my song, credit me for it.
-Messiah-, I am glad you found my song Flying Unmatched, short loop good enough to use, but I am rather irratated by the fact you felt the need to not credit me.
Enough with that, I did however find the idea of this bagel club rather amusing ^^. The intro was a tad strange, crazy face kerploding to front my face X_x (yes bad teh grammar makes Engrish grood).

Really liked the animations, especially the second one.
I think you should work on the explosions though. Way cool, keep them coming.

I love games like this, my whole life of dodging things have finally come useful.
A few suggestions.
Whoever designed the castle insides, are the craziest people ever! Who builds 400 towers at random will!? Heh, I know this was just randomly generated obstacles as you move along, but I would have liked to see some hardcoded obstacles, like in the castles, near the end, why not have like a wall of the towers on both sides you know.
I would have liked to see the soldiers move a tad, maybe even jump in front of you (they said stop right, so DAMN IT BOYS, STOP HER!)
Finished it in both modes, enjoyed it. Good job Den.

Unfortunately CPU restrictions disallowed any sprite animation - CTRL-ALT-DEL and watch the TaskManager while you're playing, and you'll see what I mean.
Could possibly have had more varied sprites I suppose, if I ever make a v2 of this (which I won't) I'll consider adding more LOL
