Very clean and well made arcade game! The difficulty ramps up greatly once the ships start spawning all over the place instead of in neat little rows in thirds of the screen. This makes the gameplay much more dynamic than I had thought originally. I kind of wonder how hellish diagonally moving enemies would end up being haha.
I like the idea of the spotlight. I never ended up avoiding it since it spawns a lot of consistent enemies which racks up score a lot easier and safer than the haphazard regular ones. I wonder if the risk vs reward should or could increase as a run progresses with spotlight enemies spawning differently or moving trickier.
Great job overall!
