Remember a while back, when I said I want to make a game?

Well, I recently purchased GameMaker Studio and began the work. It is just a small game for now, but I worked hard on it.
Want a little teaser?

It is a robotron clone in space, where accuracy matters. Of course you can have perks and a second ship to unlock.

The good news: It is gonna be for free on the workshop soon.

But before it hits the general public, I need some volunteers. You need to like shmups and have an eye for this genre.
I'd like you to play my game (for more than 5 minutes) and tell me what you think and what I could do to improve it.

Basically I am asking for a beta tester.

I invested a lot of money (150$, only for software and other things needed) in this free game, so I hope someone will volunteer :D.

Just write here that you are interested and I'll chose someone :D.


Edit

What do you guys think about those changed and experimental screens:

Edit 2

Hey guys, a little update: I have decided to overhaul some of the games systems, so it is gonna take a few days more. Sorry for that, but sometimes you have to do stuff like that when you make a bad call. But I wanna come up with a good game that is fun and challenging to play.

When I have done that, I am gonna upload it and you can all try it out and comment on balance and everything.

But a little teaser in the meanwhile.

i would like to be a beta tester.. :)
the game looks pretty cool, the only things it needs to change is.. sound effects, add more difficulty to destroy the big ships.. and a better background of the space (maybe i can help you with that)

but, actually.. this looks pretty good! :) good work!!

Joking aside, what do you not like about it exactly? :)

The background is fine, but I can see some (small?) changes making a big improvement.
Make the stars streak across the screen as usual, but have a 'spacescape' slowly scrolling behind that, with some planets and large ships/stations and such.

I love shumps, but am neither particularly good at them nor do I play them often. I'd like to try it out, but if the number of trials is limited then think the 'spot' would better be served by someone who has more experience in the field.

I've watched the video, so I realize that you can upgrade your ship, but, at least from just watching the video, it feels too slow in the beginning. Maybe that's just because I'm more use to the 'Bullet Hell' ones where you move around the whole screen and not the bottom where speed plays a major role.

Same happened to me. I'm used to Beat Hazard in Insane mode and that's pure reflexes, no time to think
