It took much longer than I anticipated, but the game has been finished. The assignment required a horizontal shooter with a parallax background to be coded in external classes for Action Script 3. Since the class only meets once a week, it took much longer for problems to be ironed out. So, what I have for you is a survival side-scroller.
As promised: The full source code for this project can be found here.
The object of the game is to reflect bullets with your supreme squid body in order to protect the crystal circling around you. Collect the startfish to rescue them. Survive for 50 seconds and you'll win the game.

While I cannot guarantee that I will have enough free time during the rest of the semester to make a game along with the weekly assignments, please take a look at the poll on the right and choose the best video game names. The winning names will be given extra attention when I have to code another game!
