Description
Those evil aliens sure are dumb.
They learned nothing from the humiliation of defeat at the battle of Starmageddon and continue to foolishly believe they can beat us.
Here they come again intent on enslaving mankind, molesting our livestock and just generally being downright rude.
We're not gonna stand for that.
You know what to do soldier - give 'em hell...
Shoot stuff. Collect stuff ejected from the stuff you just shot.
How to Play
Move your ship using either the mouse or the arrow or WASD keys.
Your guns fire automatically.
Activate your repulsion-wave with the left mouse-button or X or M key.
The repulser functions defensively by destroying all enemy bullets it touches and blocking enemy beam weapons.
It also has an offensive function, inflicting damage on all enemies in range.
An upgraded repulser can be an effective means of quickly annihilating large groups of closely packed enemies.
Dying enemies eject treasure worth money you can spend in the shop on upgrades, stars for extra points and power-ups which replenish health, increase lives, increase score-multiplier or activate shields.
Annihilate all enemies in a formation to gain a squad-bonus worth extra points.
Enemies armed with beam-weapons unleash a shockwave when they explode, similar in effect to your repulser, this can be helpful when fighting hordes of enemies.

Great game, but two complaints:
1. Give me a better visibility for my ship, I can't dodge all the bullets in this item/bullets/enemies/explosion rain.
2. When I mute the sound, I want every sound muted. But there are still some sound effects lefts that play even if muted the sound (mute music works, though).
Otherwise, good game. 4/5
yeah I was aware of the 'low visiblity' problem when there's lots of smoke and explosions firing off - I tried to strike a balance between looking like all hell is breaking loose and still being playable, I'll have to work harder on that next time! I'll look into the sfx mute issue...if possible if you could PM me and let me know which sfx are still playing and when then that would be a great help.

Game makers please take note this is how a retro top down space shooter should look.Loved the original and looks like im gonna love his too.Hope to get some badges for it at some point but fot now its a 5/5 from me well done.
thanks for the positivity: I'm glad to hear from someone who played the original 'cuz I really wasn't sure if I did it justice with this sequel.

"Ripoff of frantic"? Really? Last time I checked, these are called bullet hell games.
