nice
I seem to be going against the majority here, but I really enjoyed this game. I mean, I'll admit that I didn't even get past level 4, but the fact that the enemies are so damn smart is awesome! they even know to cross the loop boundaries (I mean the edges of the screen) like I can, so they can pull fancy moves on me and whatever, so that's cool. Oh speaking of that, it'd be nice if my ship's followers/tail/whatever it is would actually come across the boundaries with the ship, rather than spring over to the other side and make me confused.
I was one of those who had an issue with the ammo. While learning how to conserve one's ammo for the right shot is good, one or two easier options might be nice.
I'd suggest an unlimited ammo option (just so I can have some real base fun) but also either (what others have suggested) starting out with 100 bullets or not having to pick up ammo (just gain ammo automatically when you blow an enemy up) or have harder enemies drop even more ammo squares or different colored squares (green=1 shot, red=2 shots, blue=3 shots) again for the harder enemies.
Again, it was the cleverness of the enemies that really made me like this game good for me, so I don't need a mode where they're idiots.
Props for the small load size.
