Loved this one! Once I figured it out, there's quite a lot of depth and skill involved. Graphics and level design work is amazing for a jam. Pretty harsh to reset completely on death (I didn't realise lasers were insta-kill at the end), but still bothered to try again to complete it!
I'm glad you liked :)
Yes, the game is harsh, it was designed to resemble old arcade shooters, with levels and 3 total lives. But because of that we had to add the "Easy" and "Medium" difficulties, it was to hard, they only reduce enemy damage and increase initial energy, but maybe it could also remove the reset on death part.
