I am quite impressed by the look and feel in the game, but the game is way to short and have no lasting appeal
Played it a couple of hours, got through the first stages and that's it? I can of course play the stages over and over again to perhaps unlock another stage, but that's just to boring shooting the same stuff again and again.
The game should have at least 15 unlocked stages and then 5 easy unlockable stages, to justify the price.

Have you ever played other games in that genre? They all same lenght, even shorter. Last game that came out was Thunder Force VI, I beated all levels in like 45 mins, and that's that

I would have to agree with Albedo on this one. Have you played this genre much? They pretty much the same length as this. Anyways, I think it is a fabulous game. Sorry you don't feel the same.

I actually love the genre, just expected more content. I have played Super Stardust HD a lot, and really enjoyed that (to half the price of Söldner-x 2).
The Söldner-x 2 download was 1.5 Gb, I guess that most of that was HD background graphics.

But games like these are ALWAYS short if you play them just to get to the end, the main reason we play these games isn't about just getting to the end, but how well we do it. That's why there's leaderboards, challenges, and higher difficulty settings, all for you to improve.

Shoot me, but I love the lore, the levels, and especially the bosses (um, except for Grubenriese, he's just plain cheap, sorry). I could play Final Prototype innumerable times just for these qualities alone.
But I also like the unlockables and even though the difficulty of some parts is absurd, it's also just plain fun.
I'd also like to point out that Final Prototype is longer than Himmelssturmer, and unlocking levels is an excellent idea. It may force pilots to repeat the levels they have unlocked, but reality isn't much different with most things.
Anyway, you do have a valid point, and we all do. Hopefully there will be more content in DLC, but right now the developers are focused on Final Prototype's release and there's no pressure. They did great as is.
