Yes, of course. From your vague description, I think LÖVE is probably a great tool for making a game like that.

You should stop asking if it's possible to do each thing of your game. Because if you search forum before asking you will find fast answers. If you want do a shooter game search "shooter" or "shoot'em up", if want add achievments search "achievements" and so on. Also important is see Wiki for tutorials, ready made libraries and other games examples (some a bit outdated) too

About achievements (only needed to search search.php?keywords=Achievements first)

I think you're approaching this from the wrong perspective. Instead of looking up "how to make a 2d space shooter" or whatnot, you should be looking for the things that make up this game.

You should learn stuff like how to take input and move a sprite around, how to have a scrolling level, how to create a list (table) of bullets and maintain it (remove 'dead' bullets etc)... the basic stuff that makes up the gameplay. This kind of information is widely available, and even though any given tutorial may be based on a shoot 'em up you will find that lots of the information is relevant to you still.

Hope this helps.

No it isn't, a 2 pixel shooter is too small.

Also, avoid asking "how do I do x?". Instead, ask "how do I want x to work?". Then, just tell the computer how it should do it.
