I like it! A really nice shmup! Works well, the gamedesign is cool, I think it's a good idea that the laser shows where it's gonna blast, and you managed to implement nicely!

Good gameplay. It gave me an idea for how you can make your game more interesting: Make the ship have no guns but instead have a mirror that you can rotate around. You would kill enemies by deflecting those purple lasers. Just throwing an idea out there.

Developer

Ooohh, that's a nice idea

I like the artstyle, and the audio choice was good too. Maybe add a difficulty curve so that it starts easier, and gets harder the longer you play.

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the feedback
There is a subtle difficulty curve. As you gain more points, spawn rate increases. I have capped it at minimum 1 second though, if you still feel it's easy, I can increase it more.

Oh, I have replayed it again and yes, there is a subtle one, didn't initially notice. I don't find it particularly easy, nor extremely hard. My high score is 4530, not sure how high that is.

Oh wow, that are some great graphics.

But the controls felt pretty sluggish. The spaceship was always lagging behind the mouse so it was pretty hard to avoid the lasers and shoot the enemies without getting shoit at the same time.

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the feedback!

I put in a lot of effort in the graphics so I am very happy that you liked it!

I have made the speed a little slower on purpose to give the players a little challenge and make it more interesting.
