Feels really polished already as is !

Solid gameplay, and i like the minimalist style you've got going.

Game has a lot of juicy feedback for impacts and such, the music is really nica as well, for some reason it reminds me of something out of UT99 and that's awesome.

My only gripe is the "lock on" attack the generated bosses can sometimes have, where i found it hard to anticipate when they were going to fire and where, as they seem to still adjust their aim once the green box disappears.

Other than that it's real fun to play and i had a good time, well done :)

A bit harder and it would be even better for me, maybe add difficulties?

Good Job :D

I really liked the merging of asteroids and bullet hells together, it's such a nice combo of genres, and you implemented it perfectly in this game. going begind enemies to bypass shields, and only specific parts being able to shoot, really liked this combination! very good game!

I love the warning forever and rez influence, good feedback by audio and visual :)

Still such a great entry should be playable with a twin stick joypad, mouse and keyboard ihard for bullet hell ! ( for field of vision reason )

Really nice! I just wished it was a bit harder, but the the polish in this game is top notch. I love that I could chip away the enmies bit by bit. With some more enemy variety this could've been a really amazing game, still, great job!

Super polished and addicting.

The gameplay is so good and polished, i just thought it was hard to see the bullets sometimes, but besides that great work!

Very polished with a super clean aesthetic. I feel the player takes too long to stop moving with inertia after letting go of a move key, though.

Really well done! Minimalistic art style compliments the gameplay perfectly, and the audio is superb, too! Nice work, man.
Rock on and stay funky,
Dez

Wow, this was really really fun! It reminds me of games I'd spend hours and hours playing when I was younger on flash game sites. REALLY clean looking, and controls super well. I love the style as well. 

What REALLY stood out to me is how the shooting mixed perfectly with the music, I'm not sure if you did it on purpose, but if you did, it's amazing. Good job. 

Edit: I just noticed the little indicators on the homing lasers, point in the direction you're going in. Really really cool, tiny little polishes like that really make me smile

Thanks a lot for the feedback.  I definately think those little polishing touches are what I enjoy most in gamedev, so its nice when people pick up on them.  Glad you enjoyed the entry :)

Awesome, the only thing I would change was playing the tiny window on 1440p screen, I didn't find a way to fullscreen it.

Clean and pretty look, great music and the sound effects done so they align to the beat - genius, I was jamming with my whole body playing it ;d

Developer

Hehe thanks, glad you enjoyed it.  Yeah there is not a way to full screen it at the moment sorry, good feedback though, i'll try and work on that for the next jam :)
