Nice game. I like how you chose the screen size to fit the shooter style of the game.

I had a bit of trouble understanding what inverting the ship did at first, and I'm still not fully sure how the red life is gained back.

The game also seemed to slow down at some point (I was at about 140 score). The music kept playing at normal speed, but enemy and player movement were slowed by maybe half, not sure why!

Loved the presentation, minimal (but not minimalist) looks with a nice colour palette, and a catchy 8-bit tune.

The red ship regains it's health automatically (it's not explained anywhere to be fair haha) the idea was that it would launch a special attack at 100% health but I couldn't get that in, hopefully something for the next version. Thanks for the feedback!

I didn't get how being attached to the enemy come into play at first. That could have been shown better. But it's nevertheless a very fun game. Good job.

Developer

I know I'm pretty new to programming I wish I could have implemented a few more things, thanks for the feedback!

Very fun game!  Loved the music on it!  interesting mechanic of quickly swapping between what is basically defensive and offensive modes!  Great stuff! Wonderful work!

Felt great to play, and cool concept! I couldn't fully figure out how to "win", but I enjoyed trying.

Developer

Yeah not really a way to win, just high score, thanks for playing!
