Here is a screenshot of a game I'm working on. You fly around and shoot stuff! :p

I hope to create interesting enemy behavior, as well as some interesting enemies.

One thing in particular will be "force fields" that span the screen, effectively blocking your fire while letting the baddies fire through. Of course you must destroy these fields. And another of course, you'll get better weapons that can fire through the force fields later in the game, and of course, again, better force fields will be made by the enemy to counter your new weapons.

Thats about it, otherwise you fly and shoot.

What do you think of the black and white background? It lets the player and baddies show up better I think.

On harder skill levels you design the terrain to disguise the enemies ;)

With the left-aligned text, the arrows in the lower-right corner, the traction dots, and the lack of a beveled look, those look more like some kind of mutated pop-up menu than buttons...

Hence the very helpful description saying, "click these buttons". People will know that these are buttons, not another mutilated interface item... ;)

The titles somewhat indicate that they might do something ;)
