Like others said, it should be on autofire since there's never a need to not be firing. It's a lot easier to control when you don't need to worry about another button.

There's a lot of stuff for only 48 hours, lots of different enemy types and I loved the death animation for the enemy ships. Small things but the music didn't seem to loop and the back of the player ship had no collision which may have been on purpose but kinda confusing.

I want to get better*** \r\n\r\nFly through space and kill aliens. This game is a bullet hell shooter with 2 button controls. Gravity drags you down while your wings (spacebar) bring you up. and shoot at flying saucers with the Z button. while your hitbox is the size of a tiny dot (the red dot) there's ALOT of things to dodge. can you make it to the end? I've included an infinite health mode in case you can't beat is and still want to beat the game. \r\n\r\nMade using Game Maker: Studio Professional.\r\n\r\nMy first entry to the competition, and second game I've completed. You can check out my last game if you'd like: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9mdXoPB4I9g\r\n\r\n*edit* - separated the windows release and source code into different downloads.
