Don't stress yourself because of me :)
You got it working and I could play it so here comes my review:
I think it a pretty neat game. I did really enjoy playing through it and just defeated the final boss. The mechanics are intuitive and well explained. The different weapons gave you a reason to actually save up your bullets and not just spam them. Really enjoyed it and would play it again if another level was added ^^
The only thing that I could think of you could improve ist the bullet gauge:
To activate the special attacks you need a minimum of those but you don't know how much is needed. Perhaps you could mark that depending (but please use some neat symbols and no text)
But all in all: Great job!
