I think the IMPLEMENTATION was very good. Sound effects, music, and graphics were very interesting and memorable.

However, there might be bugs in your current version. I keep dying even without getting hit by the moving blocks. (At least, not flashing red)

It's also too challenging. Right now, it seems mostly luck based. If you slow down the moving blocks so that the player can dodge them more consistently, then it will be a skill-based game.

With an appropriate difficulty curve, I think this can be a very good game.

My suggestions summarized:

Level implementation, with difficulty curve

Reduce difficulty

Fix bugs

----

Overall, very well executed! This can be a great app idea. 

Note: If anyone else is new to java, make sure your java is up to date, and open the jar file with javaw.exe (worked for me in windows)

What I liked:

Pretty cool game, and I can tell you put in hard work.

Neat sound effects, very nostalgic for me

Cool graphics as well -> nostalgia factor

Suggestions:

A OST could make the game more memorable.

Moving off screen makes you appear on the other side (like in pac man) -> If memory serves me right, space arcade shooters normally don't have this happen

It was VERY challenging -> I could barely get past 1 enemy. 

A start screen would be nice -> Though I'm a hypocrite here since my own game didn't have one.

Overall Impression:

I liked it, and this was one of my ideas when I was brainstorming. Fun little game!

P.S.

I'm also learning java, how did you implement the high score function into your game?

Thanks for the video suggestion.

Thanks for the honest feedback ! lol 

I also reviewed your game.

Thanks for the feedback!

Love it!

Great work!
