Original Post
This is an arcade style space shooter which I made in C# using part Windows GDI and part GDI+. It's only the second game I've ever made and would appreciate some comments, suggestions, and criticism (I have tough skin, so don't be afraid to let loose).
Not much else to say, except that you'll need the .NET runtime to play it (obviously). You can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/net/ - It's a 20 meg d/l, and I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to d/l it just to try out my game. 
Below is the readme.txt pasted, followed by a screenshot of the game and link to d/l game + source code.

I'm a little shocked considering that
