Great demo

Just played the demo and think it's great, I don't really know what I'm doing though and lots going on but I'm not a pro anyway, more a novice, played in Arcade mode.

Would be good to know what everything is though and sure that'll be in the full version so can enjoy it even more.

The feedback form doesn't seem to work by the way in case that's a good way to provide more feedback?

Hey - thanks for giving it a try! 

You are absolutely right about more/better feedback. I'm thinking of doing a few things:

-introducing tips in the loading screen

-adding a tutorial level to explain the mechanics

-Adding audio queues for the double-focus laser. 

-Adding visual queues to the player ship for weapon states

-Adding info on what button to press "like press <button> to fire" - etc.

Yeah that all sounds great and tutorial level especially, just to get started..

Personally I love very simple controls with not much needed to know just to get started, then if more elements are added in later levels and more weapons etc become available that's fine.

Also your second boss is very easy to beat , you just need to stay centre of the screen, you probably know that already!

Yeah, it's actually a bug. I was actually just trying to fix it now but I can't get it to reproduce on my PC. Basically it gets stuck and doesn't move to it's next action.
