Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the game feel and polish.
Balancing is definitely the largest issue with the current state of the game, but we certainly would have needed more time to get everything right.
The ship constantly moving was a design choice made to encourage action and dodging but it may not have been necessary. The solution to the lasers always pointing in the direction of movement would be solved by rotating them to face other directions. I agree with your feedback that we need a smoother difficulty curve and a variety in challenge.
We really appreciate the detailed review, thanks for playing !!
