I really enjoyed the game but agree with the other comments on the progression of difficulty. I'd like to see some explosions when enemy ships explode, things like that. Toward the end I definitely felt like I was defending the earth! Oh, the many upgrade options are a nice thought but I found them distracting. I felt this was an impressive entry.

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

I agree with the need for explosion effects, I ended up running out of time and had to cut it out.

Thank you very much for the feedback. It's very helpful.

Good idea..And the control really felt like I drove a ship in space.But for gameplay .I did not feel like defending the Earth.It's more like I tried hard to find some enemies and destroy then.Maybe enemies should be more aggressive I guess.

Hi, thank you for the feedback!

I'm glad you liked the controls.

The balance is way off on the difficulty I agree. It starts way too slow (and after about 10 minutes becomes impossibly hard). I will bear that in mind for any future games I make.

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.

In the future, you should upload the webgl version then upload the downloads as additions to the project.

"I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it." - Hey, I'll take that as a win!

Thanks for the advice on uploading. This was my first jam and I had no idea what I was doing when it came time to submit ;)
