Wow this is amazing! Such a great port again. I just cannot help but wonder what you'll tackle next.
And you made it so quickly!

That was by intention. The game is otherwise really unplayable in later levels (at least in my view). So you always fall back to speed=1 instead of 0.

Man I wouldn't mind if you take more liberties and make the game better, maybe add a special "Amiga" mode where power ups are "-1'd" instead of reset to zero? And leave an Arcade mode for those who, for some reason, like to suffer :P Lots of these Gradius games have special modes added when ported, so it wouldn't be out of character!
To me this always made Gradius unplayable. if you lose mid-level, your chances of ending that level are very tiny. If you had a downgrade, it would be a lot more enjoyable.
