Thankies ^-^ Yup, yup, I spent quite some time on it, drawing the various characters, level-backgrounds, designing the levels themselves, the powerups and animating everything, drawing out the various screens, such as the pause-screen aaaand so on ^-^ Those might be little things if seen individually, but they definitely add up - and together with learning how to actually do that in Flash, I think it was about one and a half months, from the beginning until now ^^;
Changing the shooting speed is definitely a good suggestion - how far did you get in the game? I'm just asking because there are several weapon powerups already (you get your first one pretty soon, in level 2, and until then, there's not really a lot coming your way), which increase your shooting speed a lot (the bubbles-shot literally becomes a stream of bubbles if you powered it up several times, while the fireballs stay slightly slower, but become very strong and powerful with time). Sooo, depending on what shot-level you were already at, I could make them faster and such, buuut I'm also a little hesitant because I don't want to make the game too easy, you know? ^^
