level 1 from my gamemaker shooter.
tap up to fire a missile, tap left and right while holding up to direct the missile. It may run unplayably fast on some machines, which I'm trying to fix.

comments appreciated, and yes I know it lacks sound for just about everything.

I think this game is very inappropriate in a post-Virginia Tech world, commodore. Can someone give commodore a probation or maybe ban him?

I don't have a Windows machine, so... could you pretty please post screenshots so that I may shallowly judge the game on its looks?

Well
Aren't you all high and mighty, Quantum Pee
Too good to use such a commoner's OS as Windows

I still can't get very far into it (it takes forever to start the app), but the missile aiming is neato and the parallax scrolling is also neato. I got to a boss but I died and I can't get back because I am a loser :o (do you have to shoot him in the back of the head?)
Nitpick: the missile graphic is not centered with the laser (hold space and tap up arrow); laser comes out of the ship a little to the left and the missile to the right.
How long do you plan on making it?

the whole "buuhh ur hit i cloes now!!!!!" thing is quite a pain in the buttocks, so i'd suggest changing that asap.

yeah okay I'm working on making it not terminating. Gingermuffins you got to the end of the level (which is all I've done) and yes you do have to hook a missile around the back of his head. I'm hoping to make 5-6 more levels.
