Okay, so I finished playing this awesome game, and I love it! The choice of the Gameboy Color was a great choice. I really liked the style, and it made me want to keep playing. I did play it with the Xbox controller like you suggested, and you were right. It felt good to play it that way. I really like these kinds of games. I dunno why, but they really appeal to me, so I had a lot of fun playing this. It's just too bad you weren't able to get any sound in yet.
I will say I found some weird bug that I'm not entirely sure what caused it. My theory is that it happens when the game restarts because that's when it took place. Whatever it is, it ended up helping me out in the end because it gave me unlimited lives. I'm wondering if maybe some variables didn't get properly reset when the game restarts. However, another bug accompanied it as well. I kept randomly dying... a lot. There would be nothing on the screen and then I would just explode. Thankfully, the unlimited lives kept me from restarting the game again, and I was able to reach the finish line. YAY!
Another note, but on design choice. I'm not entirely sure how the powerups work. If I were to take a guess, I would say it has something to do with the blinking letter "D" on the ground at certain parts, but it wouldn't react when I touched it or shot it. However, when I got my powerup, it was usually when I was close to one of them. It was just difficult to tell because my ship would keep exploding, so I never got to fully enjoy the upgrade. I would advise, if the blinking letter is the powerup source, to have it at least disappear to let you know you picked something up.
Other than that, the game was really fun to play, and despite it being because of a bug, I was glad to see the whole thing. I will say, I never would have made it to the end otherwise. That game was super hard. :) Granted, you did warn me that this game was a little on the buggy side, so I imagine you probably were already aware of all of this, but I thought I would let you know just in case.
