Cheat that changes the enemies ships into fluffy bunnies.

That one's actually a pretty cool idea...

Thanks xD

I wish that would get put in...

C'mon, what's wrong with nonlinear gameplay? It's inventive! Not many Scratch games have that! It's more fun! Think Metroid! Think EarthBound! Think Zelda! Think different endings!

But it's inconvenient to program.  And how would different endings be made?  Will you be given a choice like "Go to this planet" or "This planet" ?

Oh, heh.


Illusionist, maybe you could make a bigger storyline? Viewers will love it. 

I'm already writing a story! 

The full story, from the beginning of SpaceWar1, to the beginning of SpaceWar5, and then the end is displayed when you beat the game.

Some more ideas:
Laser enemies! (like in Frantic and Starmageddon)
Multidirectional/360 firing!
A "Special" meter that fills up as you kill enemies and allows you to use special attacks.
An enemy that clones itself! *AWESOME*
Cloning yourself! *MORE AWESOME*
"Terrestial" levels in which you cruise over a planet's surface and be able to destroy enemies on the ground in the style on Raiden.
MORE ideas coming soon... 

I will be sure to add these.

The first boss's name is officially "Aerachnaloth". (random evil name generator epicness!)

Will it have eight legs?

Yes!

Not anymore inconvenient than some of the other stuff he's doing.

But he'll make choices, I'll make choices, hmm. He could at least add it to the New Ideas thing, even if he doesn't accept it, since black and blue are differentiated.

At least a bigger story will be better than tiny ones.

Not that I think I'll ever view it anyway. I've never played a Space War game. Probably never will.

If I add your idea will you leave me alone?

Hey illusionist, i would love to see more levels in Space War 5 in general. I've noticed that 
Space War 3 and 4 both only have three bosses, making them both extremely short. I suggest longer levels, at least 5-10 levels (with a boss apiece), and more variety in the levels. I also suggest a scrolling background to make the level seem more realistic. More backgrounds, maybe?

While working on Space War 4, I could barely finish the 3 levels I had. It would just be too much to add 10 levels. Even 5 may be too much. 

I will try to make the levels longer though, here is the first boss by the way:



  Don't worry, I will be scaling it down later. 

I lke the ideas so far. I think maybe it should be a tad easier to get by, because I'm a n00b and I can't beat the second boss. Music Would be cool, but because of how complex the project would be it would be super laggy online. I'll revisit this post if I get a better idea. Bye  .

Sounds great. I love me a good story. 

BTW nice graphics above.

You can see the shot exploding on ships. the ability to lock-on to targets if you click on them. Missles (stronger than a ray gun/ limited supply). Bosses record where you are and pinpoint you like that (list). The ability to speed up your ship. When you go to one side you come out the other. Asteroids. Throw in some astronauts for a kick. Enemies that leave mines. A blob gun; when it hits an edge it splits. 3d graphics. No Backround just a sprite with scroling to make it look cooler. You get stuck on a planet and have to battle of aliens in hand to hand combat. Heavy Metal instead of that no word music. I could say more but nah.

Second Boss

I need a name.

Terratula!

How's that for a scary boss name?
