It's been about 2 weeks in development.

Anyway, right now it gets pretty repetitive and boring. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it more interesting?

I figured out the game, and I have to admit it's very very good. Music and maybe some special effects would really improve it to make it a good game! Maybe add a home screen with instructions and help because it took me a while to figure out the controls. But nice!

Its cool, you can make a level wheres the bullets bounces when hit the walls, I think this code can make it:
if("bullet collide horizontal wall&quot{
bullet.xSpeed*=-1;
}

Anyway, you make a good game, Im sure that your game can be really addictive if you put more features like upgrades, bonuses or combos.

This has alot of potential. Add some bonuses in their (You know like bullet speed 1/2x, Your speed 2x), a few special effects, some good high quality audio, and you have yourself a great game!

Sorry I can't check it out at the moment but will later I just wanted to say something about the bouncing there Toony (carlytoon) but down, the *-1 works great and is fine for starting or math matic things but with somthing that needs to be fast it is best to use this -( the var) this basicly changes the sign of a number( positive to negetive and visversa) . It is casting (more techniacal stuff but easy It is used to change types like string to nubers and such) the var to - so neg and ned = pos and so on, but it is a little faster as it has a pecedence of 14 out of 15 where * and = have one of 13 out of 15, and if that made no sence to you don't worry just remmeber instead of *= -1 for things that need to be realy fast you should do -(var).
Though I don't think I is that big of a deal every inch can help! Hope that help some one!

Really nice game, I have to say. I got totally immersed in it once I figured out the controls. Maybe adding some upbeat techno music would be a nice addition to the game. I could totally see this being some sort of Facebook game.

To all of those who are wondering:
Instructions- Try to avoid the blue bolts by moving the rotating yellow square with the mouse.

It's pretty good a way to drastically increase the repeatability of the game is let the user destroy the bullets to some degree and include an rpg system. After they finish you give them a unique text for how well they did. You could possibly include achievements and such.

i first thought the yellow square was my aiming thing and i moved it into the gun and lost then i relized how to play it can become a challenge if you survive long enough but i like it

Quite good and i got 59 seconds! I would definatley give your game a 10 if you postwed it on AG. And I think the no music is quite a nice change for me. Also its nice and simple.
a good stratagy is to keep all of the bullets heading in the same direction.

(So that I don't spam the forums... all questions involving my game will go here.)

I've spent far too much time looking for music. I think I've found a good track though.

How does that sound?
