I woke up this morning, for some reason having vivid memories of this side-scrolling arcade-style space-ship shooter PC game I used to love, and now I want to play it again. Can you help identify the game?
Below are some of the details I remember about it. I remember playing it maybe... 5 years ago? 6 or 7?

- Downloaded from the internet (may or may not have been freeware)
- Had a slightly 'cartoony' style of animation - bright colors, etc. but wasn't specifically kid-oriented
- Although it was a space-shippy thing, the setting wasn't in space; it was a colorful, brightly lit world surface
- Awesomely groovy synthesized electric guitar music
- A number of worlds each comprised of 5(?) levels, each with a boss ship you had to destroy
- Enemy ships came either singly or in a wave comprised of a formation pattern
- Power-ups gave you extra guns, and sometimes a limited number of missiles and maybe lasers?
- Text would pop up at the end of each level with your score, and the text looked like the letters were little balloons that would inflate, and then deflate / disappear
- Bonus was awarded for destroying all enemy ships in a level while not losing any lives
