I felt like it controlled really well, but those enemy bullets. They were so fast that there was just nothing I could do about em no matter how well I controlled my player.

I love a good top down shooter! I think either adding a stat for the number of enemies defeated or total time survived would be nice from a player point of view. Keep  on coding and good job on submitting something, participating in a jam isn't easy! Also I think if you were to put a thumbnail up for your game, you might get more traffic over here :)
