that opening transition reminds me a of "(NES)Uninvited" transitions. and those retro style graphics and sounds are great. a few recommendations I have is after enemies spawn have a slight delay before shooting the player, (this one has been mentioned in the comments)"a setting to move the camera with the mouse"
and maybe gamepad controls(Gamepad Movement works but can't fire or move camera).
although this game would be perfect to play with wii remote and nunchuk controls.
(I don't know if it's possible it's just something I was thinking about and want).
I just saw the trailer Gameplay, I didn't know you could teleport to the other platforms. I'll try doing that next time.

Thanks! I was really going for that sort of feel! Regarding the recommendations you are totally correct; when I was working on it one of the things I wanted to get to was a telegraph animation for the flyers but I ran out of time : '( . Also the mouse request is very popular which I think means I should definitely add it. This is all really valuable to me thank you so much for taking the time to play it :)
