Scratch

Just wondering is that AS2 or AS3? AS3 would be the best for that sort of flash because it has a much easier time with large amounts of objects on screen than AS2.

It'd be nice if you didn't shoot automatically, it looks weird D:

Now it's better    I hope you make it playable soon. 

Yay - I made it rain box monsters. 

Make upgrades. No game is complete without upgrades.

And how about a storyline?

Upgrade ideas:

Faster cannon: I II III
Heavier cannon: I II III
Agiler? ship: I II III
Auto-turret: I (You get it, but it's weak) II (Better...) III (Best auto-turret)
Missles: I (Auto-shoots weak homing missles) II (Better...) III (Best missles)
Multi-shot: I (Ship shoots in a V shape) II (Ship shoots in a \|/ shape) III (Ship shoots in a \|/ shape and from the back)

These could be easy enemies:

Also, maybe every 1000 kills you get a MEGABOMB which damages everything on the screen a TON. There could be achievements for killing the 1st boss, killing 100 enemies, upgrading a weapon, winning the game, etc.

I'm really only using my own art, so those enemies won't fit...

The achievements aren't that creative (no offense) though...

x kills
x time played

etc are boring achievements.

Something more like...

shoot an enemy to explode and cause a chain reaction

could be more interesting...

But those are harder to program 

Use a MEGABOMB to kill a boss?

What about my ideas? (EDIT: I saw that I was really helpful, but you never replied to my post)

And, what program are you using? It runs great.

Flash. And seashore. And scratch (for pre-rendering particle explosions?). And snapZ pro X.  And quicktime player. And flash player. And safari.

Ok, here's the reply.

For some reason I had not thought of bosses, so you're added as helpful.

EDIT: where's plather, I told him to post here...

Did you like my upgrade ideas?

Achivement ideas:

First Blood - Beat level 1.
All for One - Beat level 1 with full health.
One for All - Beat any level with 1 bullet.
Boss Blaster - Beat all bosses.
Speedy Takedown - Beat a level in less than 10 seconds.

First blood will be level two. (level one is tutorial and you don't fight).

This is ironic. You seem to be able to read my mind.

I was planning to have a ghost ability (you can't be hit for a few seconds).

UPGRADES (this probably will be the final list) more like different robots though and not all might be added:

-green robot
faster shooting

-blue robot
slow natural healing

-ghost robot
temporary invincible

-red robot
massive shot

-yellow robot
teleport

-gray robot
default, no special

-gold robot
HAX!

Idea for achivement: I Know How to Shoot a Gun! - Beat level 1.

I've had a nice brainwave for achievements. How about every achiecment provides some sort of credit to get upgrades?

Ok let me think of some achievments...

Well if you had a score for every level I suppose

Mamma would be proud - Get 100000 score on any level.
Big da boom - Kill 10 enemies with an explosive shot.
1 more step... - Finish level 2
Armed and dangerous - get 2 upgrades


All I can think of.

Edit
Added:

Standerd's holiday - Complete any level without firing a standerd shot (not sure if this would be possible but nvm)
Eat lead! - Complete any level using just the rapid fire shot (or if jsm isn't planning on rapid fire, then standerd shot.)
We pulled through! - Complete any level with 1 health remaining

Boss Power-Ups: (You get these from beating a boss. They last forever. They level up the power-up they correspond to. They do nothing without the corresponding power-up.)

Super shield: Shield lasts for 2 hits.
Quad shot: Shoots in 4 ways.
Double helper: Makes 2 helpers come.
Frag bomb: Makes the bomb shoot out fragments when exploded.
