Pretty nice =). One thing i think you could work on is the collision detection. Currently, my spaceship doesn't seem to be touching anything, and other objects still "hit" it from a distance away. I'm assuming you're using the "getIntersectingObjects()" method or something similar, which uses the bounding box around an image, which means that if part of the image is transparent, the collision may be a bit unreasonable. I like to use the "getOneObjectAtOffset", since it shows if that point you choose intersects a character.

Nice game - though there's a bug with the game over bit. If your life goes to less than 0 without reaching 0 first then you just keep going forever! I'd guess you've probably used a test as to whether life==0 as to whether the game is over, if you chance this to life<=0, you'll guard against that problem.
