Cool! I liked the idea behind a shield that blows up once it's used! I thought that sometimes there were a lot of spots with no enemies, and then all of the sudden there was a *ton* of them! So maybe a little more ramping. Great job though! :)
I just played your game and recorded while I did that and commented: https://youtu.be/ClSfzvLPt_4
Well done!
Cool concept! Couple of things: Some more details if feedback, such as a flash when they hit you, a neat explotion, etc.
