Space is very, very Hectic...

Finally. The game's downloaded. I tap the game for the first time, and the letters loom ominously in front of me. HECTIC SPACE I tap the screen, and instantly me and my green ship are hurtling through the stars. I see a purple alien in the distance. As I near him, he shoots two deadly balls of red...both aimed well above and below me. I fire at him, as he has proven the rumours to be true. Their kind is not to be trusted. I unleash a flurry of green beams at him, he is vanquished quickly. But behind him come many more of his kind. I expertly take them out, and spot a green box floating in the distance. As I ram into it, I can feel pure energy pulse through my ship and my body. Rapid Fire. Havoc is wreaked as I fire twice the bullets at three times the speed...but the aliens' allies have arrived. The speeding kamikaze ships are difficult to take out, so I simply avoid them. But the Twins bear down on me, both shooting faster than I can... I see another green box. Thank God. Cluster Bomb. I grenade my way past the Twins and destroy all remaining purple aliens in my path to who-knows-where. I spy a blue box, floating in the vast void. I collide with it as my world changes completely. I am unaffected; my ship moves like normal. Yet all around, the enemies are...almost frozen. It's like they're moving through Jell-O...I can't believe it...I wipe them out with insane amounts of ease. Yet bearing down on me in the Reaper, who fires sheer walls of instant, unholy Death. I have sustained two hits...yet I must fight on. I land one hit on him, yet as I'm escaping to the north the Death takes me. I stood no chance. I scored 18,750. "Not bad," I say as I click the button, yet again seeing the letters. HECTIC SPACE
I LOVE THIS GAME
Hectic space fan!
This game is a great game! But i would like leaderboard and multiplayer! That would be great!
Mediocre

Shield doesn't work properly when moving too quickly (you can "teleport" into enemies/bullets). No invulnerability frames after getting hit, so a cluster of shots can kill you instantly. Extremely luck based for pickups/etc. Just overall mediocre design and programming.
Good game. Get rid of the red dots.
Don't touch!
Other than the red dots, which are hard to see, and end most games prematurely, it's a cool game with potential. Reminds me a little of Defender. Some kind of levels, or bosses, or something along those lines would also add to long term playability.
Now this is a game

Some people complain about not having different ships and leveling, but that's new age stuff, this is classic. Absolutely great game! I would GLADLY pay if it meant no ads. Other than that I would only complain about the increasingly steep difficulty curve as the game progresses, this is not enough however, to deserve any less than 5 stars. Edit: "I would GLADLY pay if it meant no ads." ->"I DID GLADLY pay for no ads!" I didn't read the update news so I was so confused when I heard the rapid fire sound, but didn't see the rapid fire bullets flying out. Then I realized I was using a new weapon and my face lit up and I got all excited XD
