Hi everyone!
I'm really grateful for all the feedback on my first little mini-game, Poot Poot: The Lactose Intolerant Cat. I've started the stages of designing part 2, which will be a horizontal shmup.
Story:Poot Poot, the lactose intolerant cat, does not eat mice. He actually gets along with mice very well. The reason? Even with his unfortunate condition, Poot Poot eats dairy products like milk and cheese. His favorite is a nice sharp cheddar.
Dogs have some how taken control of all the cheese supply on Earth (don't ask how, it just happened one night while you were at the movies). They have decided that they will get rid of two pests with one stone: if they remove all cheese, all the mice will die and if they remove all the mice, all the cats will die also.
The World Federation of Mice (WFM) have employed the services of their friend and greatest ally, Poot Poot, to travel to the moon (where the dogs seem to have their HQ... somehow...) to get back their cheese and perhaps, just maybe, some of that elusive moon cheese.
Work in Progress:I have the basic moving around and shooting engine down. I was also able to do a basic creation/mimic of parallax scrolling with some crudely drawn stars. The first enemy has been designed and programmed as well (basic sine wave movement).
Since this is my first shmup, I'm planning on a three-level blast to the moon with mid-bosses and stage bosses. I have ideas for a few, but I'll have to work those out. There's also going to be a permanent upgrade system where you can spend Moneys you earn from destroying enemies on upgrades like Options and spreading bullets.

I'll keep everyone posted on progress!
