Thanks mate, will definitely have a settings menu soon. Shield, hmm could be a good powerup idea. Not sure about the 3 way fire, think I'll try the shield powerup first. The red ball will be the time boost powerup when the timer is implemented. The 2 player spawns is a bug (although the float is kinda cool).
Music, once I add a few more levels (including very dark ones) I'll try to find something else. About to drop a new build with UI updates and more particles (I love how the smoke turned out).
Thanks for the comments, so good to get someone else's perspective :)
