This was the highest I could get after a few tries lol. Also, the highscore value didn't seem to update or change
The presentation as a whole was polished and cool, however I feel like the music could've been somewhat more prominent. That said, all the important sound effects were all clearly audible and distinct ( i.e things like the sound of enemies dying, sound of the player getting damaged )
I do kinda wish the enemies had a more prominent and distinct colour though since it hampered the readability of the game a bit. They were mostly the same shade of orange as the rift on the right and the same colour as the bullets. This kinda made it hard to tell what was a bullet and what was an enemy sometimes, especially when the screen was covered with bullets.
That said, the player was really distinct and felt good to control.
The ability system was cool and interesting to play around with. I do think it needs some balancing since getting the grenade launcher and the ability to spawn big bullets kinda made some waves a cakewalk lol. Still, it's pretty damn cool in it's current form none the less.
Overall I'd say this was a damn good entry, especially considering that you started late. Great work on this
