The sound effects are WAY too loud and become incoherent noise when there are too many enemies on the screen.
The ship control itself feels pretty nice but take a minute to get used to. The game doesn't give much feedback to the player which makes it hard to figure out what we're meant to be doing. And it looks like you can't die?
i tried to not survive but it wouldn't let me? I'm a little confused what i'm doing.
Aside from that the controls are really smooth gj.
The sound effects are a little overwhelming, and the win/lose condition is also unclear; I spent a while just standing still, and though my ship flashed a lot, I didn't die. This being said, it does look pretty nice, and I enjoyed steering the little ship.
I don't really understand what the concept is supposed to be. I expected the game to end after a set time or the enemies to eventually win, but there didn't seem to be a lose condition, health, or even a way to make the bullets do anything. I like the idea of there being nothing you can do, but that alone doesn't make for a fun or interesting game.
The, uh, the sound's a little overwhelming, and the controls are pretty unintuitive.
I think I like the concept you're going for here, but it got kind of lost for me: I'm not entirely sure what will cause the game to end? I got shot a whole lot of times, but all that happened was there were more enemies?
