OK i got to play sooner than later, so here is my review

DESIGN:
The design is retro, and unique at the same time, i dont think that you could of got it to look any better, except the scoreboard, it needs some flavour imo, but overall its sleek and nice to look at and easy on the eyes so you dont have to strain to see anything.

GAMEPLAY:
Gameplay is as expected from a retro arcade game, it really took me back to my younger days lol.
The one thing i would change is when alot of the "aliens" come down it gets very hard, prehaps if you could shoot just a split fraction quicker it would leave the player feeling more satisfied when shooting at them.

SOUND:
Dont have to say much here, just that the sound is perfect.

OVERALL:
Classic arcade shooter, love it and if i had more time would of played it more, but a yeah and a heart from me and i will deffinatley play it again soon, 9/10 just for the fact of the scoreboard lol.

Good job, deserves more plays.

And in the spirit of F4F please check out my thread here.

thanks for the suggestions and the review. I agree about the firing delay. the unique thing about Galaxian was that you could only have 1 shot at a time, but it seems the exploding destruction of enemies takes 1 or 2 tenths of a second too long. I'm going to see if disappearing is quicker and feels more like the arcade game. Thanks again!2011-02-12 02:30:00

yeah i remember the game well lol and your right about the rate of fire, i just think it would make it more satisfying for the player if it just had a real slight increase to make things just a little bit easier so they feel like they( I) dont suck lol.2011-02-12 02:38:00

Hey, wow..... I saw some of your retro stuff last week.... had NO idea you were a member here or had threads up. Obviously, I LOVE retro games. Anything built on a core of carefully designed gameplay gets my adrenaline pumping.

So.... here ya go:

Out of the 3 retro levels you built, I think this one is my favorite - followed by the centipede one. Both of them are well done, challenging, and the graphics are spot-on. In fact, I immediately hearted you as a creator when I saw these. I plan on going back in and trying for high scores on them first chance I get - great stuff!
