Just one word ... *FANTASTIC* !!!!
You totally managed to get the good ole feeling i had playing R-Type II on the Amiga back then !! Omg its addictive too! I especially like the "Introduction-Time" you have before each new Enemy Type so you can prepare yourself ! SUPERB !! The BEST R-Type like Game i ever seen so far !!!
Even tho my test Machine doesen't meet the Min Rrequirements it runs flawlessly without a glitch nor lag!
Config:
AMD Athlon 650 Mhz
768 MB Ram
ATI Radeon 7500 / 64 Mb
Dualscreen 2x 1024x768x32 @ 60 Hz ( TFT )
Sound Volumes here seem ok ( at leats on my Speakers ) =)
A lil Improvement could be that if you get hit you loose one Weapon level Upgrade instead of all ( Its just evil when you catch a slingshot just bevor the Boss while having full upgrades

).
Keep up the Fantastic Work!!
Oh! and thx for the Greetings in the Credits - really put a smile on my Face and made me feel warm and fuzzy regarding the GREAT Community we have here
