Made it to Stage 7 today on Normal mode. Certainly one of the top 5 shmups on the C64 (again). Super responsive controls, excellent graphics (better than in Soul Force and Zeta Wing 1) and great entertaining level bosses. Especially liked the wasp boss in Level 6, though that one was a bit too easy to beat compared to the previous stage bosses. But I liked the bio theme, seems inspired by Thunder Force IV Stage 8 boss. Music has also been improved somewhat in here compared to Sarah's previous games, although I still think it could be better. But overall this is an absolutely gorgeous title for the humble 8-bit platform. Must have!

Great achievement for a single person. This is a real fun shmup! I got that it's inspired by Gemini Wing, but stage 4 looks very much like stage 3 of MUSHA (Aleste). Awesome!
High-Score saver is much appreciated, thanks for the update! Only the pause function is still missing, like in Neutron as well. Would be cool to have that too. Anyway, very cool game this is!
that little movement of the background corresponds to the player's (player moves left -> playfield moves right and vice versa). and it is obviously intended by the author. It gives an illusion of a wider space, or of a certain depth of the games' world. at least that's what it does make me feel and i'm sure that's what the author wanted to achieve. so IMHO it's a good thing and a feature that should stay in the game.
