yes it is, I'm going to put a final update over there in the next few days.

anything i should really change in the next 2 days?  I might get the highscores working correctly and if I'm really motivated I'll add a second boss.

I might get the highscores working correctly...

I was having problems with my high scores as well. What particularly is the problem, maybe I can help a little.

Thanks for the offer M. Lucanius, but I had no problem coding it, just had to get over my laziness.  Anyone know exactly when this compo ends?  IF I have enough time I may add another boss.

UPDATE
-fixed highscores
-added menu music

are you saying you updated it for a 3rd time? its hard to follow what is going on when you don't number your updates =P.

I think I've updated it more than that actually... But I'm done working on Stargrazer for now (possibly forever)  The final version is already on the first post

I'll try and use a numbering system in my next game
