I thought the graphics were MUCH better than the graphics in the first version. I suggest easing the movement of the blocks so they don't just float so "boringly" in one speed. Get some effects like shaking screens! YESSS.

The design is amazing! Graphics could have been a bit better but no matter.
I thought this was just another boring top down shooter but it turned out it wasn't. Simple gameplay but tons of features. I'll say it again: the design is amazing!

It's certainly a great idea. You might want to put more features in such as...
Walls
Scrolling maps
Enemies
Springs
I just said a bunch of random words...it's up to you to make them work. ^^
Make the buttons in the main menu go out faster too.
For fixing the music that's playing multiple times, I bet you're starting the song at the main menu. Instead, make a frame right after the preloader that leads to the main menu and place the song there. Then, it won't place it over and over.

It's not about being realistic. It's about setting the theme.

I'm not a newbie but I'd just like to add that graphics can be really useful too and you shouldn't make EVERYTHING a movieclip. If you make graphics, it's easier to make a frame slider or something. You can also preview what you're making...

Add a save function.
and don't let the ion cannon from damaging the other base
unless you did that on purpose. Seems really cheap though.

"Not as bad as most flashes in this place..."
Make it so that the ships move to a new spot every time they die.
Give them health, and more weapons

Well, I really suck at flash, and I didn't spend enough time on this project, and it's my first time using actionscript, but anyway, sorry. I will think of all this stuff next time.

found it easier just to hold down the space bar.
anyways. it's great, maybe enhance the graphics a bit instead of just blocks.
also maybe you can add some moving targets or "water"

it's like one of my games, the -TANKS- one...
but you've got a halloween themed cartoon one.
i used more a more tech style
i also have a bit more variety...with different maps and obstacles.
it got a score of 3.5...maybe getting it sponsored would've helped.
too late, i didn't know about sponsorships anyways.
ok, about thIS game...there should be more variety. I like the idea with the candy though.

it's a good start. but it's only a start
what would be great is...no charging bar. and they could change gravity in midair.
and graphics do need more attention.
upgrades would be great. ones that speed everything up. others that slow everything down. more that:
strengthen the gravity field.
lessen the gravity
protects you from certain color obstacles
lets you fire at certain obstacles.
there are tons of ideas.
if you don't feel like it...i'd be glad to finish it. it's an awesome idea!
