Hi capbros, thank you for your feedback. Would you mind sending me your system specs? The player ship moving at 1/2 the speed of the wingman's ship is certainly a bug, but I'm not entirely sure what caused it.
1. The bugs involving the intro, controls feeling sluggish, and lasers moving too slowly are a result of lag due to unoptimized blitting code. You need a processor with decent ghz to run the game well (it could also be that their is some other reason. This build runs very slowly on my laptop without taking a quarter of the processor or RAM, while running fine on my desktop). I apologize for this and I am currently working on a fix. The lag also causes the game to be more difficult than originally intended.
2. The difficulty ramping up too quickly is something multiple people have pointed out to me, thanks for the feedback. I did also wonder about some of the sound effects sounding too old.
3. Customizable controls is not currently one of my priorities, but I do plan to add it eventually, as it is a staple of PC gaming.
Thank you for the criticism, it is very appreciated.
Update: Build is compatible with Ubuntu 13.12 using the Wine emulator. It may run a bit slower than if you were using a Windows operating system, however.

Apologies, it appears I miscataloged where I got some of the sprites from. I will update the page immediately.
