My Game is now downloadable

My 2d shoot em up is now halfway done(ie 15%) and playable. Ive posted it on megaupload.com. Click here to download the file,double click it and press n to run. This is another new build of the program. I have tightened up some of the code and also tightened some bounding boxes.Also enabled the quit screen while the game is paused.
This is now the 3rd build of the program. I have added a new powerup called Hellfire and also each enemy now blows up with an explosion.
I have just updated the above link to a newer version again.Ive changed the resolution to 1000 by 700 and made the stars scroll on the x axis in time with the ship.this is still a very rough version.

My 2D Java shmup is nearing completion....

After 3 weeks my 2d vertical scrolling shoot em up is nearing completion.The basic engine is finally running with bullets killing enemies,some powerups created,score,title and gameovers screens... All I have left to do is to get the enmeies coming in in patterns form different sides of the screen and maybe have one or two of them shooting.Also need to allow the player to be killed or for shields to decrease or something. The game iself is crap but Im proud I managed to stick with it and am probably actually going to finish it. Not finished a java project fully before..Too lazy. Plus Im quite proud of my parallax starfield background and the powerup that bounces the players bullets off the walls of the game. Maybe once the game is done I might port it to my mobile phone or rewrite in c++.
