I meant screenshot but posted screenshit intentionally

And AOC WHAT? You knew Netham45 was a lobster for THAT long? o.o

This looks nice!  Great job on it!

YAY, new update.
I added falling upgrade support (only one thing can fall atm)
I also changed the shield to one hit.  ie it can get hit one time, then it is gone (might change later)
I changed the sprites to resemble a certain game...
and added an inverted screen (to make it look like a certain game)

anyways, here it is, same controls, except alpha doesn't do anything I don't think (if it does, it was just a speed test, which resulted in it being the same)

I can fix the item dropping to quickly pretty easily
as for the speed of the bullets and what it is supposed to look like, it was supposed to look like Iambians CaDan shooter game (got the dev block, and the look of the bullets)  I increased the bullet speed to look like CaDan

and thank you

Yeah, this is looking really great so far!  I would recommend making the player move a little faster though since the enemies are able to move twice as fast.  It would also be cool to have speed increases as upgrades.

kk, I was going to have it like a lot faster (instead of you move twice every then not move once, it was you move 5 times, then one rest)
also thanks I was trying to think of different dropping upgrades

Wow really nice, I like how fast you can shoot.

Thank you for your comments, my friends at school also like how this is going and I (knowing the source quite well) am able to edit it for whatever they are wanting (one wanted the upgrades to fall slower, another wanted it to go into crazy flashing mode [a lot actually]).  Anyways here is the new version with a screenshot.

Todo:
 add a falling rapid fire power up
 make the power ups work for a certain amount of time and only have  one power up at a time
 work on sprites and general speed (I kinda like the speed but wouldn't mind having it faster)

Done:
 added a rapid fire thing (I can add it as a power up really easily now)
 I accidently deleted all my previous sprites trying to clean up my program don't worry they are pretty much back now
can't think of anything else, here it goes

OH yeah, request: can someone help me think of a good name for this, I don't really want to continue calling it phoenix because its not.  I want it to be my own and have its own name.  Can anyone help with this?
