needs a lot of tweeking
pretty decent game for the first submission. you need to add more graphics, effects to it. i wasn't really aware that the ship in the upper right corner becoming white means that i lost a life, a simple fadeout would have done better.
the collision detection adds up the problem.
the "new life" symbol is simply the smaller scaled (rotating) ship, looks like another ship in problems^^, what about taking the white ship as "new life" symbol?
