So I might be a bit of an idiot... I downloaded the "rocketgame" file for windows...not Gradius+, and I didn't even notice. So I came back just now and saw that, and everything works great in Gradius+ LOL sorry for the confusion. I guess that's something to keep in mind for distribution to other people.
Just downloaded it and played it and I have a few suggestions: 1) It is tough to get underneath the enemies to shoot them without getting hit yourself, but if they shot slower or maybe moved left and right it would feel like skill more than timing and luck. Also, music or SFX would be awesome. And maybe name the "game" file in the .zip folder something that will stick to the top of the file explorer so players don't have to scroll through all the other ones before they get to the actual game file. Great start though! EDIT: I see you have notes for music in the description but I didn't hear anything when I played.

The sound design for this game is actually something I put a lot of time into. What platform did you download it for?
I have plans to update the enemy movement as well as a few other things to make it feel more like Gradius and less like a knock-off Galaga.
I installed it for Windows. Let me try it again and see if it works. EDIT: Yeah that's weird. I don't hear anything.
Okay, thanks for the review! I'll look into this and fix the gameplay-related stuff when I have the time.
I think I know what went wrong. Just a packaging issue. Did you see anything else, maybe like this?
I never saw that, interesting.
