I don't know the best way to make a shooter, but this is how I make one:
-Make a character sprite
-Make an ammo sprite
-Have the character point towards the mouse pointer.
-Have the ammo move to the same location as the character (Behind it so you can't see it.) and pointing in the same direction.
-When mouse clicked, have ammo move "x" steps until it is touching the edge or an enemy.
That's the general idea, you'll also need health and score variables.
I could get it too shoot on the sides of the map but I shose not to so it would take more skill to play it. This is probably intended more as a learning resource so people can learn how to make shooting systems.
I think that you should be able to shoot when you are touching the edge, and that there shouldn't be so much momentum. Also an instuction or warm-up page. But hey, I doubt I could do this good, so what do I know?

You need to fix this game
Dude this game makes no sense
How do I destroy the circular things that firing at me?
The start of a good game! Work on the sprites a little more, add a story and sound, add music, make multiple lvls and bad guys! :) I hope this helps
I like how you implemented the moving, But the controls could be tighter.
moving is bad
Dude a little help would be nice
it would be more fun if it was attached to the walls and there were levels
Would be better if, when you hit a target, something happens to it - either explode or split into two and thus make the game harder.
Left Click.
um.... how do u shoot?
Click anywhere with your mouse. But the enemies appear to be completely indestructible.
