Haven't posted in awhile, but anyway, I've changed a lot of the game. I have 5 stages now, a new ability drops called Rapid Shot (after stage 4 boss). It allows you to shoot in arc, so now you can be attacked from above as well as from the left and right.
Also, I removed the web browser version of the game, because performance wasn't very good. So you'll have to download to play.
I changed the title to "Solar Ember Rush", and updated the menus. I made a game over screen and ending screen.
controls are different too, you now control the ship with the arrow keys and shoot with Z. To flip the ship, you now press X. To switch weapons you tap S. I also updated the tutorial for this change.
other things a I did is change the upgrade system, you can get 3 upgrades, and one permanent upgrade after defeating the stage 4 boss. If you die, you lose upgrades and have to start over.
Game over now sends you back to Stage 1.
Any feedback is appreciated, since I am learning as I am going. Let me know if its to easy, I find I might have to amp up the difficulty...
