Can I start out by saying I love the music used, very very nice! I chilled with it on repeat for several minutes even after finishing playing. Very good job.
The gameplay opened up with a great tutorial, I was impressed by how well you display the mechanics of the ship through visuals alone. Very well done and effective! Top marks for that.
The concept was pretty good you know, I could play this for ages, I would love to see a more obvious feedback sign when you have 'dragged him' to allow for quick swipes, I guess as a mobile game it wouldn't make too much of a difference but on PC I would love to see maybe a colour indication on the ship whilst he is in drag mode.
The speed of the ship started out slow but really picked up as the stage got harder, this was really nice and had me thinking if I wanted to risk attacking or dodging to stay alive longer. I could see this as a Mobile app game.
Great job!
