Brilliant! The game is hard, I won it for the 4th or 5th attempt and spent more than an hour playing it before I won. The game has an appropriate length and difficulty - it's enough long and hard to bring me an experience, but not too long and hard to dissuade me from playing it. I only know about one bug - when you fail the game and immediately restart it, you automatically lose some health in the very beginning. But that doesn't spoil the game too much. Well done!

I love that you give the player total control over the movement of the ship. It's super responsive and that made the game really fun. The enemies with their different shooting patterns was a nice touch. I like the sprite work all around. It's simple, but easily understandable. Great work!
The mouse controls were great! It makes the game even more chill to play and the music is very good! Nice!
Chill to play. Love the boss battle and actually like the lack of high score. “Progress bar till boss” is much easier to reason about.
Also like that the loss of a life just refills the health bar and lets you keep going.
Fun little game. Could use some more variety when it comes to enemy ships and weapons. Seems like the optimal strategy is to just stay in the middle and hold the fire button and only move when enemies move vertically in a different column. Also I find it a bit too punishing on the difficulty side. After several attempts to get past level 3 I gave up.
Interesting concept but also quite difficult since nanobots can leave the screen very easily. Maybe require several nanobots to leave the screen instead of only one to fall back a level. Game gets also repetitive after some time.
Otherwise, the game looks quite nice.
Nice, but I also didn't get the arrows and it took me too long to realize you can move the player with the mouse xD
Simple concept but it was fun. Had to read the itch page to understand the arrows and other game concepts. A bit repetitive after some time. Congrats for making it !
