I really dont understand many of you people... it IS a shoot em up, and whats wrong with him getting an idea from frantic? (if that is what he did) there isnt a problem, look at madess for example, lots of people take madness sprite sheets, edit them a little bit, throw in a story and if the story and animation is decent, it gets a good score simply for being madness.... so i dont think its all too bad, for one, he probably had to code the thing himself, and draw it all up too, it is pretty slow for a shooter tho.... other than that, I really couldnt see a problem.....
