New game - similar to Galaxians space shoot 'em up
Here's my new project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/SonicPopsDad/240710
It's a space shoot 'em up with Galaxian-style enemies swooping on your collection of fuel cells to steal them away... shoot them before they do, or shoot them before they escape, and catch your fuel cell!
It's still work-in-progress, but I'd like to hear about any bugs you find (I already know the aliens occasionally get stuck with a fuel cell), and any improvements I could add (the music needs to be replaced with better stuff, but it's *close* to what I want 
cheers!
PS - my music and sound effects have come from an excellent free site: www.soundsnap.com - all the wav / mp3 files are free to get, and use is unrestricted! A great place to get sound for Scratch projects!

Very nice game! I like the graphics a lot.
Unfortunately, I can't hear the music or sound effects because my speakers don't work. 
One thing I noticed - the aliens sometimes get stuck against the side when they are coming down to pick up a fuel cell. I'm not sure if that is the same as "getting stuck with a fuel cell" so I thought I'd mention it.

No, that's a new one on me. It'll be down to the combination of starting x position and the value of 'swirl'... they must have both been a their most extreme, and were you playing on Hard...(which increases the max 'Swirl' value)?
I'll take a look tonight.
Thanks for your comments

No, when this happened I was playing on easy. I had also downloaded it and was playing in presentation mode.
