I found it fun! It could get better with some polishing though, it's kinda hard to hit the spaceship and to control using those arrows. Oh, and the score doesn't seem to be resetting when I die, it keeps the level when I restart. But overall I found it pretty great

I like how this game could still work if you were playing as the spaceship - you really are playing as the bad guy from the game's standpoint

I made it to level 27 and had absolutely no idea what I was doing lmao. I do like the concept, but I think it would take a lot more polishing to be a solid mechanic. Good work!

A concept that flips the shooting game on its head. Controlling the bugs was a bit difficult.

Clever mechanic, though I feel like you would have been better served with fewer bugs, but larger ones, and a larger ship as well. They are frustratingly tiny targets to click.
