w,a,s,d to move.
m to shoot.

When shooting you move slower.
If you hold shoot for a few seconds you get more powerful/faster shots but move even slower and get blown back.

Looks best in IE thanks to VML. Needs a very fast computer.

Cool. How come you can't move as fast vertically as horizontally?


 

I think it seems nicer like that.

It shows a great potential.
It's a bit tricky to use WASD on a French keyboard ESDF works best on every keyboard layout that I know of.
The framerate is not really stable but it's not a surprise with that much elements in movement and with varying opacity.

With some better graphisms and more levels it could make a really cool game.

It lags on my machine when there's a lot of action. Plus I found a bug, probably due to my computer, my block disappears making me invulnerable and I can still shoot and move about. Otherwise a good game with potential like poi said.

Nicely done, I had a few close calls at the "boss" scene. Always a fan of games where I can shoot and blow up lots of stuff.
