Hey Jussi. At this point I'm looking for any sort of feedback. Bugs, 
aesthetics, frame rate, play control issues, or anything else you can 
think of.

The space bar toggles autofire because most players would probably end 
up having to hold down the space bar for the entirety of the game. In 
shoot 'em ups like this you're generally firing 90% of the time.

I made some modifications to the bullets, adding a glow around them to 
make them more visible. Eventually they'll look more like this:

Killing a boss now freezes the camera allowing your ship to fly into the 
horizon before loading the next stage. Eventually each stage will be 
followed by docking at a space station for repairs and weapons outfitting.

Heh heh, I'm saving the un-fun stuff for last. :)

Not a problem and thanks...any feedback is good feedback. I'm going to 
be releasing Alpha 2 in the next few days. How awesome would it be to 
get a GAMBAS game on Steam? That's what I'm shooting for.
