CIPHER - topdown vertical shoot 'em up

CIPHER:

This is a vertical shoot 'em up project I've been working on since 2008.  It's done in Multimedia Fusion 2.

That's pretty cool.
I'd help out if I could, but I don't have any skills to offer.

Surprised you don't have more comments.

You know, sometimes I'm kinda glad I was (temporarly) a part of this. I can see major improvement with the graphics, although it could've used a boss track (most top-down shooters have 'em).

I have a boss track, but I'm not sure how to set a system that recognizes a boss fight (I don't want to use the "warning" sign).  Also, the boss track kind of sucks, but I'll give it a shot  
I've done a lot of recoding and tweaking, but none of this will show much of a difference in the video.  Feel free to suggest any new features or weapons, I kind of ran out of ideas as of now.  (please include on "How the feature can be done logically in terms of condition=>action," as my math is limited to algebra and trig.)

Have you played Xevious? You can use that as an example. Tough little top-down shooter, but fun, never reached a boss though.

There ARE a few games that have boss tracks, without that "Warning" logo appearing. You can try to use MM1's fortress boss theme, I think it'll work as a boss track temporarily.

... I also noticed you joined TSR.
