Even though it's a two level demo, I almost gave it an extra star for being an oddity: a scrolling shoot-'em-up with very simple programming that almost works out! Too bad Padogle gave up after two levels.

The game throws a lot of bullets at you, but the game is much easier than it should be because you can destroy the enemy bullets with your own. You get two different powerups, one of which is a weapon upgrade and the other.. seems to change the color of your ship. Apparently it's a shield but I haven't seen that effect.

Oh, and if you die and an enemy keeps firing on you, it repeats the death sound indefinitely and does not go back to the menu until they stop for more than a few seconds.

There is no real damage indicator for the bosses, they have a lot of health but can basically be destroyed by spamming bullets at their weak points. It's not very interesting, but I have a feeling it would have gotten better if only more levels had been made.

The player shooting sound is pretty bad... rest of the sounds are at least appropriate though.
