Just played a couple rounds, everything seems fine. Although playing with one hand is kind of tiring…

Not fond of the choice of graphics, but can see the humour in it. :) May want to try to remove the white around the bullet's graphic though - that stands out quite a bit.

The game's good, movement's done well. Not much to say about the 'enemies' really, not quite as dynamic as asteroid's line based asteroids, but I can understand not putting that in. ;) I like the bars at the bottom of the screen, that's a good touch rather than numerical representation of shield power etc. I'd say the main menu could do with being brightened just a little bit though.

I did encounter one issue, however - haven't been able to emulate it again, unfortunately didn't have the Java console running at the time to see if it was an exception thrown that set it off. The bullet's wouldn't be drawn by the game. Nothing else was off, the bullets even collided properly - just weren't drawn. ;) Like I said - haven't been able to repeat it but something's not quite right there.

Fixed that first little bit about the shots, and ill brigten up the graphics for the menu here soon. I also have had that problem happen once, but it was when it was online so i didnt have a console. I tried playing over and over again in eclipse to recreate but havent been able to

I think you have it the wrong way around.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism

ANYWAYS. I think you have the movement a bit too fast. Its hard to control. Also, the turning is too fast. Its hard to aim.

yea a few people have said that. Thinking about making an options menu with sliders to change the values. Well see if i can get around to it soon. School is a bit demanding recently

I think this is the same guy that was wanting to make his .jar unobtainable from his site, so I doubt he'd share it. :p But I dunno.
