I’m new to this dev thing and wanted to keep a log of my updates. Hopefully at least one person out there can enjoy what I’ve made. I coded this from scratch and drew the graphics too.
I have a working version of the current game on my site as a web start java program which can be accessed via the link

Use the testing version on the play store for the phone instead

I eventually want to develop something for android so the controls are suited as such. I’ve actually converted my code to run on my android phone using canvas but I’ve come to find that canvas is terrible at scaling an image.
Here’s a screenshot

Oh btw, the controls are:
arrow keys move left and right
z: fires bullets
x: slows time (need 3 of the slow time items)
c: gatling gun, shoots lots a bullets rapidly (need 4 of these items)
The little hud up in the top middle lights up when the powerups are ready to use though the one on the far left does nothing…yet.
Would appreciate any feedback thanks!
EDIT: elaborated the control scheme
EDIT 2: Finally got around to porting this over to android. I got caught up in another game (soon to be posted) and had to learn Open GL. I’m not using an engine all of it is from scratch. If anyone is interested in the .apk file to add to their phone send me a PM. I’ve included some new screenshots taken from my phone.
