The voting has already begun. EDIT: Looks like I'll go with Cosmic Protector. Thanks everyone. P.S.: Wouldn't refuse a good logo. EDIT2: Please nobody work hard on a logo until I've confirmed the new name with Atari's attorney.

Interesting script. It seems pretty varied; what did you use? Trent Gamblin said: Please nobody work hard on a logo until I've confirmed the new name with Atari's attorney. Can I work on a picture for Google Play? |

Thomas Fjellstrom said: I'm not sure I like how she's wearing allegator skin. A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking. After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!" The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you'll luck out and catch yourself a big one!" Determined, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching herself an alligator. Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home, when he spots the young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge 9 foot alligator swimming quickly toward her. She takes aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of effort hauls it on to the swamp bank. Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper watches in amazement. Just then the blonde flips the alligator on its back, and frustrated, shouts out, "Damn it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!" They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

AROX (Allegro Rocks) Shorter, better.

Wait, how can she breathe in space?

Really? That's your question? Where did she learn to drive? Totally unrealistic. |

And how did her right eye get so big? Or is something that we just don't talk about? |

I change my vote to that last one, even if it's too late and that would get you in trademark shit again. This woman can breath in space. You can't explain that. Programming should be fun. That's why I hate Java. |

X-G may not like Cosmic Defender, even though this title is also a variation of a classic name. Edit: Download link gone, but maybe you remember this. |

I just committed the name change to Allegro git. I added a new (sort of cheesy) logo and removed every reference to "a5teroids" except in the change log.

She is not yet in her ship, so she's not in space yet >_> I tried to make an extreme/warped perspective. (Otherwise I couldn't get her face, chest and ship all in the picture.) Life support was in the planning, but alligator[1] skin and boobs took priority. bamccaig said: It's really good! Thanks Derezo said: Very simple javascript.

So is this image going to be the game menu screen? weapon_S, I like it but that eye and hair is really bothering me. Any chance I can draw over it / edit it or would that be out of line? The T-shirt was a great idea.

I guess the perceived quality comes from the care with which the words were picked.
I hope I have back-up.
