Honestly I could be nitpicking about the difficulty ramp up or that it's hard to recognize enemies but it's a game jam and no game is perfect so yeah solid game.

How does you game fit the theme?
U are not alone in the alphabet, and neither in this universe. There are other letters, working together against you.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Absolutely. I made everything during the jam and I made the music too.

very cool browser game I couldn't manage to get to 1000 but it kind of reminded me of how galaga works it's really well polished and maintained very well balance throughout all the enemy's great job!
Pretty fun game! The music works well and its well polished. The tradeoff of moving vs attacking is nice
This is a really juicy game. The animations and combat in general are just super satisfying. I really love how everything pulses to the beat, and the music in general sounds good. The “S” was tough, he seemed to move faster than I did, but I think my problem is that I just needed to get better so that I had more upgrades by the time I started running into those. Nice work on this overall, really fun to play. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.
gameplay is really fun! and I love how you used the different letters of the alphabet. Also, the particles systems are very good!
The gameplay loop of having to turn around to shoot makes for some really cool challenges as you have to decide, am i running away AND shooting OR am i running towards it AND not shooting. The game feels really polished for a game jam game and a really funny interpretation of the theme. Good Work!
I love these games that are simple to play, yet are so interesting and fun. Feels very well made and polished. The graphics and sfx are fire. Unique gameplay mechanics and the concept is a fun wordplay (or should I say "letterplay")!
Easily the quirkiest game I've played so far -- and I'm a fan of quirk. Mind you, not just quirk for quirk's sake -- but stuff like this that's executed well enough. I'll detail:
The music, it bops; I always appreciate it when a game jam game has the time/talent to execute music that helps bolster the efforts of all. It's addicting and of quality. Great job!
The style is impactful and eye-catching; the choices made here are on point.
Graphics accommodate both the aforementioned style and music in a way that meshes more than well; I could probably play this more (and will) when this jam concludes!
The best is probably the theme and concept, which is just a nice cherry on top of the quality within this game; I love the overall quirkiness of "U" needing to escape "E"s and of the like. It's perfect! lol
Overall, great job! I look forward to future efforts!
Fun game! I really enjoyed the graphics and the effects animations. And all the ui bouncing to the beat gave the game a great energy.
The style is simple yet so damn cool, the way the text bops to the music, I was confused at first but quickly understood how it all worked, upgrading through the shop (always leave it open, pro tip) pumping that fire rate up is the way to go, I highly recommend this entry, amazing work.
