Very nice game! I love the game concept! One small critique is it's very difficult to get any kills, since all the enemies move so fast and the "hero" ship doesn't shoot fast/consistently enough to focus fire on one single target. While this makes the game a bit more difficult to play it's definitely faithful to the game theme so great job!

Thank you for your feedback! The case that you can send your ships into each other might help you to reach enough points to win. In fact, I planned to add power-ups to temporarily increase "player's" fire rate and also add randomly spawned asteroids, that could damage alien ships, but did'n manahed to do it before the submission. And I have rebalanced ships HP and points almost at the very end and didn't check it well. But still, I'm very happy, that you have some fun with it!
You never know which direction player's ship will go next time, so yea, you have to choose would you try to destroy alien ship before it reaches player's ship or take a risk and try to dodge it. There's a tip: ships that flew past the player appear again at the bottom of the screen, so sooner or later you'll have to destroy them one way or another, otherwise you'll... run out of space!
