Fun little space shooter, I like the bigger scope that the story implies, The sprite work and title art are really good, the only tiny nitpick for the visuals is that, it's a shame that you have default UI elements and text :(
also small issue gameplay wise, the magazine with limited shots and a reload cooldown feels a bit akward :
I'd say you could improve this by having either :
- just one shot with a clear cooldown to help the player learn the rythm
- or keep it as is, but have either a counter or a bar to visualize the reload time
But other than that it looks great, and plays well, solid entry, good job :)
